MAC Lipstick Review

This was my first MAC lipstick and I love it. This natural yet glam shade is pigmented well and stays on for a surprisingly long time. As well as being a smooth sleek finish I appreciate the vanilla scent that MAC put into their lipsticks - it is such a sweet wee touch. I suggest using a corresponding lip liner to get the most out of the gorgeous colour.

My go to, holy grail lipstick. One of the only nudes that couldn't be any more perfect for my skin tone. Look good with any makeup look. This matte formula is great too, it's lasts a good amount of time and doesn't dry my lips out. It has good opacity without needing to build too much.

I'm not one to give into celebrity hype, especially the Kardashians. However, when I was getting into more nude and natural shades for lipsticks this was one really popular shade especially on tan skin. So when I was able to grab a bargain on this shade I did. Mac Velvet Teddy is described as a deep toned matte beige. I'm about a NC25 and it looks too brown on me to be a nude, it's more of neutral. I was a tad disappointed when it arrived although it was my fault for not trying out the shade in store first, although the tester was used up due to the popularity of the shade. It took a little while for me to warm up to the shade. One thing I really do like about this matte is that it doesn't feel really drying. It isn't moisturizing but I have applied this straight on my lips without a lip balm on underneath and my lips didn't feel dry, in fact I could rub my lips together and they were smooth and moist instead of that dry and flakey feeling that I would get with other matte lipsticks. Now I wouldn't say this is a moisturizing shade because apply this on without lipbalm and you'll notice a difference but for a matte this isn't drying. It feels light on my lips. I wouldn't say this is the highest quality lipstick I own but I do feel this is definitely one of the better quality lippies I own. One swipe gives a lot of color and coverage, which is great especially for mattes as I don't like to apply a lot of layers for matte lippies as the dry layers flake and feel worse as time goes on. I like that the Mac lipsticks tubes close firmly with that satisfying click but easily so that you don't have to worry but the tube opening up in your purse or makeup bag. I don't think I'll repurchase this shade just because I don't love it enough and lipsticks last a really long time. But I would consider purchasing more lipsticks from Mac especially the matte range of lipsticks.

Lurrrve my Ruby Woo. A perfect and versatile matte red which i wear both day and night. Non sticky and doesn't feel like it's glued to my lips (like many less expensive ranged lippies). This is my go to that i carry EVERYWHERE in case i need to add a pop of colour. Mostly wear at night :)

I love a new Mac lippy, i have a large collection and seem to always get similar nude colours. Velvet teddy being my new fave. The satin range is great on the lip and has a soft texture, is still nice when re applied, dosent go clumpy!! I have also used the matte range in a few colours but always seem to return to my favourite

oh my gosh, I can't rave enough about these lipsticks. they go on silky smooth, the colour is amazing (whether a major pop of colour or a pretty soft pink). They last for ages on your lips and the colour is solid so you don't have to apply too much. I just love it!
