The Trinity Stick is a space-saving dream for lips, cheeks and eyes
If you’re even slightly into beauty, you’ll probably already know about Trinny London — the brand that’s taken over our makeup bags with its stackable pots, creamy formulas and skin-loving products. Founded by the ever-glamorous Trinny Woodall, the brand is all about effortless, fuss-free beauty, and it’s given us some serious viral hits, from the glow-boosting BFF Cream to the hydrating Bounce Back moisturiser.
As a long-time Trinny fan (the Lash2Brow is my go-to), I was beyond excited to get my hands on the brand’s latest launch: Trinity. It’s a dual-ended stick designed to brighten, sculpt and add colour to eyes, cheeks and lips — all in one swipe.
One end gives you a sheer, dewy glow for a fresh, radiant look, while the other is a matte colour that you can buff onto cheeks or blend over your lids and lips for a soft, polished look. It’s basically your entire makeup routine in one product—ideal for busy mornings, travel, or just keeping things simple.

Trinny London’s Trinity: My Honest Review
There are three shades to choose from, but I opted for Mustique, a combination of fresh petal pink and a sunset bronze glow. From the moment I swiped this on, I knew it was a winner. The formula is silky, blendable, and lightweight, so it melts into the skin effortlessly—no cakiness or patchiness, just pure colour and glow.
For a simple daytime look, I swiped the pink shade onto my cheeks, and in seconds, my complexion looked brighter, fresher and make awake. It’s super blendable, so I could keep it soft and natural or build it up when I wanted a bit more colour.
On my lips, the pink shade was a little too light for my skin tone, but the silky texture made them feel hydrated and soft—so if you like subtle, effortless lips, this could be for you. Otherwise, you could blend the two shades together to make something darker and more seductive.
But it was the bronze glow that surprised — and impressed — me. I thought it would be darker than expected, so I deliberately applied fake tan beforehand to make sure it didn’t look silly on my naturally pale skin.
It turns out I didn’t need to worry—it was actually much more subtle than I expected. I needed a couple of swipes on my lips, cheeks, and eyes to get a noticeable glow, but once it was on, it reminded me of Clinique’s viral Black Honey lipstick—sheer and glossy without being overwhelming.
In terms of longevity, I needed to top up a couple of times throughout the day — but I always find liquid and cream products fade quickly on my oily skin, so I tend to go for powder blushes (such as MAC’s Powder Blush). That said, Trinity’s small size makes it super easy to throw into my bag for quick touch-ups, so I didn’t mind reapplying.
Honestly, it didn’t make my makeup routine much faster as I just can’t go without my concealer/eyeliner/mascara combo, regardless of the stick. But it saved me handbag — and makeup bag — space.
Instead of lugging around separate blush, lip colour and eyeshadow, I could slip this stick into my purse and be good to go. It’s the kind of travel-friendly, space-saving product that makes life a little easier — even if it didn’t quite shave a significant amount of time off my morning routine.
So, if you love quick, easy, and versatile makeup, Trinity is a must-try. You can shop it via Trinny London here.
