Have Some Class: Top 5 MAC Lipsticks 2014

My Top 5 MAC Lipsticks !!

Okay so i thought i'd do a post on my favorite MAC lipsticks, i'll include swatches on my hand and on my Lips - i also have swatches with various lip liners and these will show how the colour and effect of the shade change with the alternative bases. at the bottom of this post i'll add a couple more swatches of a few other lip shades but i wont have Lip Swatches (my lips started to get sore !!). Okay, on with the show x

From Left to Right : Pink Plaid; Nikki Minaj Viva Glam ; Fan Fare ; Pink Nouveau ; Up The Amp.

Lip Liners : Boldly Bare; Magenta ; Hip 'n' Happy

1. Pink Plaid - Matte
This is such a pretty colour and my number one matte shade (although i do want to try Candy Yum Yum), its a pale to midtone blue-pink, i find it suits cold undertones best and this can be worn lightly in the daytime or built up for an evening look - however as this is a matte shade it will never appear sheer, it is also quite light so it is not a natural looking shade.

2.Nikki Minaj - Viva Glam - Satin

This is a very vibrant pink Coral - it has pink-blue undertones and is very opaque and creamy, this is a lovely formula on the lips and is so pretty on a summer night, slightly Neon i love this colour, however once again it is difficult to apply this shade sheer, this is not for every day unless you like to wear very bright very exuberant shades in the day - me ? i'm just not daring enough .

3. Fan Fare - Cremesheen

This is my all time favorite every day / neutral shade, it has a little bit of gold shimmer to it but not an obvious or cheap amount, this is quite dark so it isn't a "my lips but better" shade its more of "someone else's lips that are better than mine" shade (make sense?) it suits warm and cold tones but i think looks best on pale skin and slightly tan olive toned skin .The only issue is that this is such a soft formula that it broke in my pocket as it got too warm that when i pressed it on my lips it was melted and slit in two , keep this in your bag ladies - i fixed it by putting it in the freezer (handy tip ;) ).

4.Pink Nouveau - Satin

This is a very bright bold pink-blue lipstick , its a few shades darker and brighter than a daytime look warrants but over a light lip liner i think it works well this is a very cold lipstick and could look strange on warm skin.

5. Up the Amp - Amplified Cremesheen

This has to be my favourite "out there" shade, this is so pretty on a night, a creamy deep lilac which changes very easily with variations in liner, this matches well with anything from a smoky eye due to its pale hue to a neutral eye due to its boldness. the amplified cremesheen is my favourite finish as its glossy and opaque but also feels moisturising (compared to the slightly drying matte and the thinner Satin).
