I love MAC
lipsticks and have been slowly building up a small collection over the past few
years so I thought I would talk about my favourites. I love matte shades and I
just find MAC lipsticks stay put for ages. I don’t have enough to do a MAC
lipstick collection post but I have enough to pick my top 5 so here they are.
(L-R: Russian Red, Twig, Velvet Teddy, Relentlessly Red, Lady Danger)
Relentlessly Red
I bought this on a whim when I was in Los Angeles because I really liked the swatch and don’t really own a fuchsia red. I also bought Dynamo lip liner on the recommendation of the shop assistant which goes really nicely with this one. This is a long lasting retro matte colour.
Lady Danger
Ared
lipstick, however this one has more of an orange undertone. I pair this with
Cherry lip liner, but I find it also works well with Brick. This lipstick is
also matte and long lasting. I love to wear this in the summer as it is a
slightly brighter than any other shades I own. I think this shade can be
difficult to pull off and I often put it on and think it’s too much so I tend
to tone down the rest of my make-up when I wear this.
Russian Red
I spent ages
looking for the perfect red lipstick and tried so many different brands but
found them ending half way down my face by the end of the day or completely
worn away and then I found MAC’s Russian Red. The perfect deep and rich red
shade and as it is matte it literally does not budge, even after eating! I
don’t find this drying in the slightest and I love it. I often team it with MAC’s
Brick liner and together this is the perfect combination. This lipstick is a
dream to apply and my second MAC lipstick purchase so it’s been with me from
the start.
Velvet Teddy
I bought this
matte nude when looking for a Kylie Jenner inspired shade and I’ve talked about
this in more detail here. I love this natural shade and
it’s perfect for day to day wear. I am yet to find a MAC liner to go with it
though so any suggestions are welcome, I am currently using Rimmel’s Tiramisu.
Twig
This is a satin
shade which is more of a neutral colour and great for wearing during the day. I
got this because I heard it was another shade Kylie Jenner wears and I think
it’s similar to Velvet Teddy but it’s slightly darker in colour and I think I
actually prefer this one. I use Rimmel's Spice lip liner but I really want to
get MAC’s Whirl but I am really struggling to get hold of it, it’s always sold
out!
I’d love to hear
recommendations of other shades I could add to my collection. I’m thinking a
nice pink colour? Let me know in the comments what your favourite MAC lipstick
is!
russian red is my fave!
