Music video
The music video for "Lipstick", which was directed by Paul Gore was recorded during June 2006 and was edited during July 2006 and was released on the last three weeks of July 2006 on music video channels in UK. In the music video, Dixon wears a tight black shirt with matching black short trousers. She has dancers in similar attire, and she is in a hallway with lipstick in her hand as she drags it across the dilapidated walls. She is also in a room where you could see chandeliers surrounding her as she performs, to which Popjustice stated it looked like Dixon had "filmed her new pop video in a lampshade shop."[2]
