NUDES

I think if youre going to purchase your first Mac lipstick you should definitley go for a nude. I have quite a few nude shades from Mac as you can never go wrong with a classic nude shade. The current nude Mac shades I have in my collection are; Please Me (matte),Velvet Teddy (matte),Twig (satin), Lady Gaga Viva Glam (satin) p.s limited edition. My two most used nude shades have to be Twig and Velvet Teddy, they are both very similar in shades/looks Velvet Teddy is the perfect 90s dark nude as well as being matte it can really pull any look together. Twig creates this 90s grunge look as well but has a more creamy texture and has a more dark pink undertone. These shades are in my holy grail products and I find myself using them both practically everyday.


REDS

I found myself going off red lipsticks for a very long time after I wore them all the time, I am still off put by blue toned reds at the minute. However my most recent lipstick from Mac has made me fall in love with a classic red lip.  I have just purchased Lady Danger (matte) on payday after the hunt for a perfect orange toned red for the summer. Like I said this lipstick is the perfect shade for summer especially with the orange undertone. I also found this looks amazing with golden eyes to tie in the summery feel. I have also another red shade New York Apple (frost), which I bring out for the christmas season as with is being a frost finish it have slight glitter flecks in the lipstick but not overwhelming. This is the perfect christmas red and also looks amazing on porcelian skin.

DRAMATIC

From time to time when i'm not feeling a dramatic eye look I really make up for it when a pop of colour on the lip. I have two bright/dramatic shades from Mac one is Rebel (satin) which is a deep purple which i'm currently rediscovering as it's coming to the end of Summer and we are now transitioning into Autumn. Another bright shade is Nicki Minaj Viva Glam (matte) (also limited edition) which is a bright fuschia/coral shade. What I like about this shade that it's totally buildable and you can intensify as much as you like.
