MAC Lipsticks with Lustre finish

MAC Lustre lipsticks applied on the back of my hand

Left to right:

1. 1. Most Popular from Hello Kitty collection (limited edition): A burgundy plum colour – doesn’t show up that intense as it is a Lustre lipstick.
2. 2. Capricious: A pink lipstick – I think it suits my skin tone very well (My colour is MAC NC42 foundation)
3. 3. Blow Dry: It looks like a coral colour in the tube but goes on like a nude peach colour on skin.
4. 4. Viva Glam VI Special Edition: It is one of my favourites from MAC for going out. I think it suits every skin tone.
5. 5. Cute-Ster from Hello Kitty Collection (limited edition): It’s a peach colour in the tube, goes on nude on the skin.

MAC lipsitcks with Glaze finish: Lipsticks with Glaze finishes are usually two toned. It has glitters in it that has a different tone than the colour of the lipstick. It looks gorgeous in the tube but when you put it on all you see are chunks of glitters. I personally don’t like this finish much and will think twice before purchasing another lipstick with glaze finish.

Left to right:

1. 1. Lollipop Loving: It’s a nude pink lipstick with green glitter/shimmer. Looks gorgeous like any other Glaze finished lipsticks but not so much when you put it on.
2. 2. Hue: Hue is a “blah” nude colour for me. It is one of the products that I regret buying the most.
3. 3. Big Bow from Hello Kitty collection (limited edition): It’s a deep coral pink with blue glitters embedded. Looks beautiful in the tube but again I don’t like it that much on my lips.

MAC lipsticks with Amplified finish: If you like rich pigmented lipsticks, then Amplified would be your best lipstick. I think you get the most out of your money from these lipsticks. You get exactly what you see in the tube. It goes on creamy and feels dreamy (okay the rhyme was cheesy!)

The trick with putting on an Amplified lipstick is that you never apply it directly from the tube. It will be too much if you do. I recommend using a lipliner underneath (even a clear one). Use a lip brush to apply it perfectly. Then blot with a tissue to remove access colour. Then apply again with a lip brush. This will give a stained affect and last your lip colour for hours making you look gorgeous.

Left to right:

1. 1. Impassioned: It’s a coral pink and one of my favourite colours from MAC.
2. 2. Show Orchid: A hot pink and another of my favourites.
3. 3. “Red” She Said (limited edition): A nice red lipstick. However I like MAC Red and Russian Red more than this red lipstick.

MAC Creemsheen Lipstick: This is another lipstick that goes on just like the colour in the tube. It is less pigmented and more shimmery than Amplified finished lipsticks.

Left to Right:

1. Dare You: It’s a hot red lipstick. I personally don’t like this type of hot red, but if you are going for that look then definitely give this a try.
2. Hot Gossip: A shimmery rose pink colour. It is not my favourite but there is something about this colour that I like – can’t put my finger on it though.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Russian Red: If you don’t like any shine/shimmer/glitter or even a creamy feel then go with a matte lipstick. Matte would also stay on for the longest time without touching up. The colour Russian Red is a must have red for a lady’s vanity. It has a blue undertone and looks great on any skin tone.

MAC Satin Lipstick in MAC Red: Satin finishes are almost like Matte with just a tiny bit sheen to it. MAC Red also is a blue toned red lipstick and also a must have in my opinion.

MAC lipstick with Frost finish in Strayin’ from Hello Kitty collection (limited edition): I only have this lipstick with Frost finish, so I can’t compare different colours. This is a soft pink – I like it.

MAC Slimshine Lipstick in Bare: Slimshine lipsticks come in a sleek black packaging. It’s narrower and taller than other MAC lipsticks. The lipsticks has a shine and goes on creamy. The colour Bare is one of the best nude colours for light skin tone. But I look washed out in it.

MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in Popster from Hello Kitty collection (limited edition): A very hydrating lip conditioner. It’s sheer soft coral pink colour. Looks very nice on the lips.
