Topshop Make-up Tried and tested


Topshop Make-up

Finally its here!!! The very highly anticipated brand spanking new Topshop make-up collection has landed and it’s stocking shelves by the plenty!!!

With the launch of a versatile Core collection and a fancy SS/10 Trend collection, this new range really is the definitive answer of how to create a high fashion beauty statement with an affordable high street price tag! Many of the fantastic products include nail polish, eye-shadow, blusher, skin tints, kohl and glitter in a variety of shades as well as much more…Topshop really have gone all out to bring this youthful and vibrant collection to the high street.



With summer fastly approaching, on trend colours this season SS/10 are beautiful metallics with gold, silver and turquoise that look to have been inspired by rich tones of the Middle East. The trio eye shadows in Sunstar and Moondust are particularly lovely with a mixed of dark, light and neutral tones for defining feline eyes and highlighting sun kissed ones. The perfect make-up essential for a night out!

The Core collection, that will be here all year round, has a stunning spectrum of colours ranging from the nude and versatile to bright and flamboyant. With quirky additions of stripy bronzers, dual contrasting eye shadow, felt-pen eyeliner and crayons, this collection is kept fresh and playful, utterly perfect for the 21st century girl!



Pretty much everything in this new range is tempting…if you ask me! With a minimalist 80’s inspired approach to fuss free packaging you really can’t go wrong with this sound collection of make-up. Topshop will surely impress with their black and white neatly boxed products, scrawled with fine liner illustrations and quirky cutwork, which really does look so stylish in comparison to most high street make-up.

Even the individually named essentials are inventively cute, some of my favourites are the nail polishes ‘Bees Knees’, ‘Carry on Camping’ and ‘Art School’ and lipstick ‘Brighton Rock’ that come in such beautifully bright shades.

With make-up to suit every grungy, preppy, vintage loving, retro and classically clad girly, Topshop have indefinitely unleashed their new secret weapon that I’m sure will be an absolute hit!



Since launching in store on May 5th, Topshop.com have added some very inspiring video make-up tutorials online, with professionals showing you how to create four stunning looks in a step-by-step. As well as the videos there are also virtual makeovers that you can take part in yourself, by uploading a personal photograph and experimenting with this seasons colours online.

Having been so excited about word of the new collection, I made my way down to Topshop in town to check out the new collection! As I was browsing I was surprisingly met by a lovely freelance make-up artist called Paula Valencia who was there all week doing complimentary makeovers in store. I had my face beautifully made up by Paula with a selection of the new products that we both picked out. I must say I was extremely impressed with the colours, quality and finish of the makeover. Really affordable too with prices ranging from the very cheap and cheerful £4 to the still pretty nifty £10!!! Amazing value for money, and a great versatile collection that can be easily incorporated into your existing make-up bag of essentials!!!

All is left to say…go on treat yourself…just try not to buy the entire collection like I almost did! x
