I don’t know… I just have this unexplainable feeling that you’re going to like Illamasqua Lipstick in ESP ($24), and I’ve always been very intuitive when it comes to makeup (ha!).
Maybe it’s a sixth sense, or maybe it’s simply because of how stunning ESP looks on different skin tones from light to dark.
But this dramatic, vivid matte violet is not a color for wallflowers. Part of Illamasqua’s Paranormal summer collection, it’s one of those lipsticks your eyes lock on when you walk into a room.
Wait! — I just had a vision. ESP is available now at Sephora stores and online. 🙂

It looks fabulous on you. For those that are lipstick-shy, like me (took me a while to get used to wearing a red lip and I don’t do it every day for fear of having to do multiple touch ups), we could probably wear it as a tint by applying it lightly. I think it’s a beautiful color, and like red, can be worn many different ways.

This is fantastic. But, I don’t know that I could pull it off.
Kay says
Gorgeous colour but mine was so dry and impossible to apply evenly… I returned mine in the end. Such a shame because I absolutely loved the colour; I have lots of purple lipsticks but none quite like this one.
Rads says
Oh that’s ..hmmm…different 😀 It reminds me of one of their earlier lipsticks – Kontrol – that was bluer I guess.
Katie says
Dayum, Karen – you are rockin’ this gorgeous purple! Now *that* is one lipstick I’d happily wear.

I love purple lipsticks and you can really pull this one off!
The combination of green on eyes and purple on lips is a great idea I have to try out too!
Judith says
Oh I love it. I’d love to wear it and look at the looks of those conservative people where I live!
Sassa says
You totally own that color on your lips! Unfortunately, at 57 I’m afraid that I would just look like the crazy lady at wandering through Publix.
Kristy says
I love a good purple lipstick, but this one looks very opaque and thick. I like to be able to sheer down my purples a bit. I like MAC Violetta (very creamy), YSL Violet Incognito (shiny-sheer) and Revlon Violet Frenzy (cheap but creamy and nice).
Denise S. says
Vampy purple! I love this look bold but not overwhelming.
Gowthami says
I love purples 🙂 😛
Natalye says
You look amazing with this lipstick! I would love to try a purple lipstick but I don’t know where I would wear it to lol
Alice Ann says
That’s actually a beautiful color, it looks great on.
Olivia says
Pretty! I prefer matte shades but this is a stunner.
Vanessa says
