Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Bombshell 4.5ml

Liquid lipstick in electric pink for an eye-catching matte lip

An electric pink lip is a statement. The vivid colour instantly makes a simple look bold and cheerful, and suits festivals, parties and summer evenings. In a matte finish, the colour comes out extra intense.

Bombshell is an electric pink. The Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Bombshell is a liquid lipstick with a velvety formula that gives full colour in a single stroke. It glides smoothly over the lips and dries down to a comfortable soft-matte finish. According to Youngblood, the formula is lightweight and long-lasting, and keeps the lips hydrated all day.

Shade: Bombshell is the most vivid shade of the range: an electric pink. Sakura is softer and more wearable, Love Affair deeper and more of a berry red.

Active ingredients

These ingredients are behind the soft, matte texture:

Vitamin E: Listed in the ingredients as tocopheryl acetate. It nourishes and softens the lips.

Mica: Ethically sourced, according to Youngblood. Mica gives a subtle sheen and a silky texture, and contributes to the velvety soft-matte finish.

Shea butter: Butyrospermum parkii. According to Youngblood, shea butter nourishes and cares for the lips, so they feel soft and comfortable, even with a matte colour.

Jojoba oil: Simmondsia chinensis. Cares for and hydrates the lips, according to Youngblood, so the lip crème glides on smoothly and stays comfortable all day.

Frequently asked questions

How do I wear a vivid colour like Bombshell?

Keep the rest of your make-up simple: even skin, mascara and perhaps a thin line of eyeliner. Outline your lips with a lip liner first, because any unevenness shows with a vivid colour.

Can I wear Bombshell more softly?

Yes. Dab a small amount onto the centre of your lips with your finger and blend outwards. This gives a softer, stained pink colour that's less eye-catching.

What's the difference between Bombshell and Sakura?

Bombshell is an electric pink, Sakura a softer peony pink. Sakura is more wearable for daytime, Bombshell more eye-catching.

Which lip liner goes with Bombshell?

The Lip Liner Pencil Rosé goes well with Bombshell. Outline your lips with it first and lightly fill them in; this makes the line sharper and helps the colour last longer. Choose a lip liner that is the same depth as the lip crème or just slightly darker.

Doesn't a matte lipstick dry out the lips?

Matte lipsticks have that reputation, but the Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème contains shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E. According to Youngblood, the formula keeps the lips hydrated all day. If your lips are very dry, apply a lip balm beforehand and let it absorb fully.
