Ive had this Lipstick for absolutely ages and don't give it enough love as I probably should. One of the reasons for this is probably that I find Agony is just not a Lipstick I can grab, put on and go. Illamasqua Lipsticks are very matte and I have to make sure my Lips are super soft and moisturised. They are intensely pigmented though and they last for ages without the need for constant re-applying.
Agony is a creamy beige nude and works well teamed with very intense Smokey eyes. Its actually quite similar to MAC Myth, although I would say Myth is more of an easier shade to wear. Myth is more peachy nude, where as Agony is more of a beige/brown nude and is more thicker in texture than Myth, and with it being so matte you have to be careful not to end up with dreaded concealer lips. I tend to just dap it on my lips, otherwise with it applied fully it does look too intense for me.
Do you own any Illamasqua Lipsticks? What do you think of them?
ooh wow love the look of this lipstick.
ReplyDeleteshame it is so matte though but i still think ill have to add it to my illamasque order i plan to make in the near future :D
you come out with the best nude lipsticks :D

I got this at one point but gave it to a friend as it gave me the dreaded "concealer" lip look. I do like the Illamasqua lippies especially Box, which is a beautiful red.

I've never actually tried Illamasqua lipsticks. Are they expensive or about the same as MAC lipsticks?
ReplyDeleteI have Obey which is a pretty corally peachy colour, and I totally agree with your comment about gerab and go. It's for that reason that I don't wear it often. It's a fab lipstick with amazing lasting power though, so I should wear it more! Agony looks pretty xx
ReplyDeleteThis colour looks gorgeous hunny!
ReplyDeleteI own one illamasqua lipstick that i got from sarahs blogsale in Sonnet which is a gorgeous peachy nude, but they are so thick, and pigmented like you say & quite hard to work with but i love it!
Great post my lovely!
<3 xoxo
OMG i cant stand Illamasqua. They are so expensive and they have literally nothing I like. lol.
ReplyDeleteIts true they do take work. I exfliate then apply 10kg balm then wait then put them on and top with a balm. It can be exhausting. There are only one or two Illamasqua lipsticks which dont have that over matte drying effect!!xx
ReplyDeleteI just bought a very similar shade and am loving it! You're right - so pretty with smoky eyes.
ReplyDeleteI owe this too and I love it for the smokey eye look :)
ReplyDeletei could imgine this giving me the concealer look..
ReplyDeleteI need to try an illamasqua lippie this year!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really nice colour and sometimes I truely mourn the fact that I can't wear peachy/beige colours at all.
ReplyDeleteI really have to try Illamasqua lippies soon. I just ordered one of their lipglosses and can't wait for that.
