![]() ![]() I did eye up the infamous Angel and Cream Cup but they are way too light and slightly too cool for my complexion. This works because it’s medium tone and rather neutral, perhaps with a sprinkle of coolness to it. Mac Hot Gossip (Cremesheen) was a purchase made whilst looking for a subtle, everyday pink. Mac Ravishing Lipstick Mac Ravishing Lipstick I think that’s the only way I would wear it now, as alone I think it’s better suited to fairer skin gals (or guys). If I remember correctly though, I did have a gloss over the top and it may or may not have been in a darker tone. I’ve only worn it the once and unfortunately I have no photos with me wearing it on the night but having swatched it again, I think it’s a tad too light for my preferences now. ![]() I was after something along the same vein for my lips and picked up ravishing, a peachy coral. Mac Ravishing (Cremesheen) is one I actually purchased to go with a red/coral dress for a wedding I attended last summer. Mac Plumful Lipstick Mac Plumful Lipstick I tend to pair this when going rather cool on the eyes as I feel that it compliments it very well. Being a lustre finish, it’s a tad more sheer compared to a cremesheen finish. My lips have a tendancy to go quite blue when I detect even the slightest of breezes and I’m definitely not going for that look. Mac Plumful (Lustre) is a pretty, neutral plum tone with a hint of rose to stop things looking too purple or too cool. Mac Modesty Lipstick Mac Modesty Lipstick If you know Mac liptsicks then you will know that the Cremesheen finishes are the most smooth and moisturising. With Modesty being on the pink side of the neutral fence, it suits me better as my lips are rather pigmented. My actual first nude I bought was Jubilee but when I got home and tried it on properly, I felt that it drained the life out of my complexion (not literally). Back when it was all about nude lips, and despite loving that clean simple lip paired with a heavy smokey eye, I really struggled to find a nude that didn’t make me look like an extra from the Walking Dead. Mac Modesty (Cremesheen) is a neutral toned, muted pink and is my kind of nude lipstick. It’s my “play it safe” shade and everyone needs one in their lipstick collection. This is the perfect shade for days where I don’t want to think too much about my makeup because against my complexion, it’s a very natural, lip-enhancing colour nothing bold, nothing fancy. Mac Twig (Satin) is the latest addition to my collection and described as a “soft, muted brownish pink” which sums it down to a T. So ok, it’s not the biggest collection but I like to think that it’s a collection that has had a lot of thought put into it, has a representation for each colour group and one that caters for most occasions. Well I couldn’t do a Mac eye shadow post and not give a nod to my collection of Mac lipsticks, that would have just been rude. It does transfer a bit and if you eat it wears off but I think this a lovely, nude shade worth your money.Mac Lipstick Collection Mac Lipstick Collection It gives me decent wear time, doesn't make my lips really dry and doesn't bleed. Lately, I have been into more pink, rose and corally pink shades but Mac Twig is still a good old fave. ![]() I used to say that I can have all my other lippies in minis but Mac Twigg is the one that I need in a full size because I reached for it a lot. Because of this it has been my fave to-go lipstick for years. It's not a shade I can wear with no makeup and pass it off as my natural lip color but when I have a full to most of my face done makeup it is a good nude that will go with any look. But I did remember trying on lipsticks when and this shade stood out even though I didn't remember the name. I remember a good friend offered to buy me my first Mac lipstick and to choose one and at the time I didn't have a good understanding of nudes and what looked best so I went for a shade that I later realized wasn't the most flattering for my tanned skin. This was the first Mac Lipstick I bought brand new.
