Trinny Woodall knows her way around an excellent make-up product. The fashion maven turned beauty brand creator has amassed a legion of fans who rely on her for quick, fuss-free make-up that does what it says on the tin. Consider her eponymous brand, Trinny London, the go to for the time-poor but style-savvy - think dinky pots and chubby pencils that take little more than a hasty blend, dot or blot to make you to feel put-together. And as we tentatively inch our way into summer - it's on the way - it’s this approach to make-up I find myself leaning into more and more. This is why my beauty radar pinged the minute I heard of the brand's latest launch Trinity - described as the ‘ultimate multitasker for lips, cheeks and eyes.’ Where do I sign up?
What does the Trinny London Trinity Multitasker do?
According to Trinny, Trinity is 'all you need to create a harmonious, put-together look.' It's a dual-ended crayon in two shades - one 'glow,' and one 'creamy matte.' Available in three colour ways, both ends can be worn on lips, eyes and cheeks. It's time to experiment.

Great formula. Not drying on lips. I’m looking forward to trying new combinations. No one day needs to be the same.'

Our verdict
Rachael Martin, beauty editor:
'I’m all about streamlining my routine these days, so being able to drop a handful of products from my bursting-at-the-seams beauty bag feels like a victory. Yep, it’s fair to say this handbag friendly pen had me at hello. Firstly, packaging. This feels luxe. Really luxe. Housed in a shiny silver case with a satisfying click-shut lid, it’s a delight to use. And then there’s the ease of application. I begin with the matte nib - scribble across the eyes, blend out with fingers, scribble across lips, blend out with fingers, scribble across cheeks…you get the picture. It’s refreshingly easy to create a gorgeous, cohesive make-up routine with this creamy, glow-giving crayon. Once I’ve added dimension with the darker shade, I go in with the highlighter to add a touch of radiance to the highest points of my face. It's dewy and balm like, melting into my skin beautifully - there’s no cakiness. And it lasts too, no sliding or slipping. Shade wise - I’ve tried all three combinations. And I’m unable to pick a favourite. New York teams a beautiful golden pink with a dusky rose, Venice marries a rose gold with a dessert brown, while Mustique is a sunset bronze and petal pink. That said, those with lighter skin may sway towards Venice, medium hues may like Mustique while darker skin will be flattered with a dose of New York.
Final thoughts
If you're after some multitasking magic then consider this your new go to. Just a scribble adds a dose of real-skin radiance in seconds. Whether you're topping up post-Pilates or applying on the commute, Trinity is a fool-proof way to bring glow to your cheeks, lips and eyes.
