I've never been a huge lipstick wearer mainly because I have tiny lips and don't like to make them a big feature. As I've got older and experimented more I've grown to love lipstick a little more, I don't wear it everyday but I like to sometimes to give my make-up a bit of a different twist.
01. MAC Frost Lipstick in Angel
I bought this in a bit of a rush, I was looking for a nude colour that would be suitable for everyday wear. After a quick swatch on my hand I thought 'yep, that'll do!' and bought it. When I actually applied it properly it came out a lot more pink than I thought it would be, the colour grew on me and I actually really like it now. I love the finish it gives, it's not too shiny and it's not matte, it has a nice moisturising feel and gives a natural shine. It effortlessly glides onto the lips and doesn't go to feel sticky or dry like some lipsticks can. We all know that no lipstick will perfectly last all day, so you do need a few reapplications of this, but it does fade gradually and doesn't go patchy.
02. Benefit lipstick in Skinny dip
This was my first ever expensive lipstick, my cousin bought it for me when she was over here from Canada and it felt like all of my Christmas' had come at once. At the time I didn't really appreciate or understand different brands and qualities but as soon as I did I loved this even more. The colour is perfect, it's a pink/peach toned nude colour and is very similar to the MAC one. It has a nice silky feel once applied and doesn't have too much shine. It's nice and nourishing and keeps my lips feeling soft all day long. (This has ran out I just don't want to throw it away!!
03. MAC lipstick in 'M.A.C Red'
MAC do a great thing where if you collect 6 empties you get a free lipstick. I decided that I wanted to try something different as it was free, so that if I didn't like it I wouldn't have wasted money on it. I've always liked the idea of wearing red lipstick however I never thought it would suit me, but after speaking to the lady on the counter I changed my mind. This is a different consistency to the other two, it's still easy to apply but it has a ticker feel to it. The colour is amazing, it's very pigmented and really makes my blue eyes pop. It does fade throughout the day so I don't tend to wear this if I'm going to be out for a while, as you do have to be hot on touching it up but it's great for an evening/night out look.
What's your favourite lipstick?
