When someone asks me what the important thing for me in makeup, lipstick will always be my answer. Why?? Maybe you never imagine that lipstick can do many things and and it has quite important role in our daily lives. It can change the hue of our face just in a second, making sluggish faces re-energized, making dull face became bright with their charming color.
There’s so many brand for lipstick and what’s my favorite?? Mac. I always love Mac. Not only for the lipstick but also for the other makeup product. But now let’s we just talk about lipstick.
There’s no doubt that many people like Mac lipstick. It’s my favorite too. Why? Of course because of the colors and the quality. Besides it also worth with the price. I have problem with my lips because it always dry and always chapped everytime i use lipstick but it don’t happened when i use Mac. It can really moisture my lips although i don’t use lipbalm.
And these are my 10 favorite colors from MAC Lipstick.
1. Russian Red
While some people are more know and like Ruby Woo, i actually prefer the Russian Red. What’s the different between these two? At first glance, Ruby Woo and Russian Red are rather similar. Both promise impacful, bold red lips and considered ‘classic’ colors not to be missed by any makeup enthusiast (including me 😁). But apparantely there are some difference of these products.. In term of color, Ruby Woo is slightly brighter and more cool toned than Russian Red, which swatches much deeper and richer, with a neutral undertone. In term of texture, Ruby Woo is a retro-matte (much dryer) and Russian Red is a normal matte finish.
2. Diva
Glamour and cool. I definitely love this color!! It’s an intense reddish-burgundy with matte finish, a medium-dark, warm-toned deepened red meets purple muted shade. I usually wear this to the party or for other special occassion. I pair it with simple eye makeup because it already has the bold color.
3. Shy Girl
For daily activities, this one is my favorite!! It’s a neutral coral-beige with perfect cremesheen finish. The shade is similar with Velvet Teddy in the tube but Shy Girl leans more on the nude-coral spectrum. It’s realy great as everyday lipstick and looks best on fair to medium skin.
4. Angel
Angel is a very soothing, pleasing and heavenly lipstick from the house of MAC. It’s perfect with a soft pink color that can make your lips looks elegant and beautiful. No question why it has been a best seller for quite awhile. Neither matte nor amplified cream, but this lovely lipstick gives a frost effect to your lips.
5. Please Me
It’s a beautiful warm pink color. Muted-rosy-tinted-pink that can be worn with neutral eyes for a daytime look, or also you can pair it with a darker/brighter eye for more dramatic lip. Honestly i love this color but sadly it don’t really fit for me although it’s said that it’ll look best for everyone.
6. Kinda Sexy
If you are looking for a sexy pink shade, ‘Kinda Sexy’ is just perfect for you. It provides a natural pink rose shade with a smooth texture and matte finish. If you are making up your mind to change your signature lipstick shade, you can switch to this one. It’s a perfect and adorable lipstick.
7. Candy Yum Yum
This is the most loved pink lipstick from MAC. It’s a very candy-like bubbly and bright shade which provides a beautiful pink hue to the lips. If you are looking for a lipstick for a perfect day-out with friends, this lipstick is meant for you. It provides a neon pink shade which looks really adorable. I really really love this color but once again, my face doesn’t fit with pink lipstick, so sadly that i have to skip this one too.
8. Viva Glam V
Another beautiful muted-rosy-pink color that is great for everyday. It’s fit for fair to medium skin and also can translate differently on every skin tone, making it your very own shade! In the Lustre formula, this shade is sheer with quite a bit of shimmer.
9. Velvet Teddy
MAC Velvet Teddy is described as a deep tone beige despite looking much darker and browner in tube. I’ve seen images of different bloggers and users of this shade online and observed that for those with more pigmented lips, they come out browner. For those with less pigmented lips (light pink), they register more as a pinky beige. I didn’t give so much attention for this color before until i saw it looks so perfect on Kylie Jenner’s lips and i said woww, i definitely have to buy this one!!
10. Taupe
First time i saw it, i think it’s brown. But then i saw another swatches and also found the red shade in it. So i can say that Taupe is a reddish brown color in the tube. It is a perfect nude lip color for everyday wear or with heavy, smokey eyes.
