So today I am going to do my first ever makeup review, but seeing as I've never done one of these before, I feel like this isn't going to turn out how I wanted. When I was in New York, me and my mum ventured out to one of the MAC shops in Times Square. I'd been into MAC shops before, but I'd never been in with the intention to buy anything. When you first walk in it is very overwhelming, the fact I was in awe sounds so stupid but I literally was. I pretty much wanted everything, I didn't know where to start, so I left without buying any thing. The next day we went off in a different direction, near central park, and on the way there we came across a different MAC. This shop had a very different atmosphere to the first one, everyone was so helpful and they helped me know where to start. We started off at the eye shadows which we probably spent far to long at and then we headed off to the lipstick stand. I personally prefer matte lipsticks, because I hate the glossy feel on my lips, I've never worn any kid of lip gloss (apart from when I was 5 and felt really grown up) so I just felt like matte was the direction to head for.
Seeing as it was my first time buying a MAC lipstick I didn't want to be too adventurous so I stuck to a kind of neutral colour, basically a dark pink with a hint of brown. It honestly is the perfect colour, I don't use a lip liner with it, I just whack it straight on and leave, and it pretty much stays there all day (unless I'm eating).
The quality of this lipstick is amazing, when I've tried other matte lipsticks I have always felt like I have needed to put on lip balm 10 minutes before I use the lipstick because then it doesn't give the smooth finish like I want it to be, but with this one I don't. Sounds cringey, but it just glides on.
The colour really matches my skin tone, if I'm honest I'm not ridiculously pale but then I'm not that tanned, but I do have olive skin, kind of.. The colour really isn't too dark or too pale for my skin tone, but I feel like it's a colour that could match any skin tone.
All I have to say now is that this lipstick really didn't let me down, if you've been thinking about getting a MAC lipstick, just do it. I love mine, a lot.
If you do have one, or many, what's it called or what's your favourite?
