Top 10 MAC Matte Lipstick

Today I'll be featuring my top 10 MAC matte lipsticks, because matte is my favorite finish. This is great for those of you who want to build your own personal collection or you want to try matte colors these colors are good starting point. All these colors are not limited edition ,which is GREAT if you want to purchase it and MAC is available in Qatar ,which another great thing.

I’m categorizing the lipsticks by the shade:

 -Taupe: It is deep and neutral brownish lipstick. One of my favorite colors if I’m going for a daily /natural look. If you were looking for darker nude/beige color this is the one to get. If you feel that honey love or velvet teddy are make you pale or washed out taupe is great color to rock nude lips for darker skin tone.



 -Velvet Teddy: It is pinked beige. Looks amazing with both natural and smoky eye look, because the pink undertone doesn’t make you like a walking zombie.



- Honey Love: Neutral light honey beige color. Looks amazing with smoky eye, natural day look and colored eyes. You might believe that velvet teddy is similar to honeylove ,but it’s not. Honeylove is lighter and more pinkish than velvet teddy.

-Diva: First, you have to be a DIVA to rock this lipstick! The right attitude will compliment the lipstick *serious voice*. It's a red burgundy matte lipstick, perfect for work days with neutral eye shadow “Brule or Kid by MAC is a good e/s to pair it with”. This lipstick can be called multiracial! Both white and black sistas can pull this color.



-Ruby Woo: Amazing red, matte lip - classic and sexy! Amazing for pin-up look <3 If you are related to Edward Cohen you can pull this color easily, coz this color works amazing with pale skin. You can wear it with retro look <3 to die for.



 -Chili: Let’s put it this way whenever I wear this lipstick people love it and ask for its name. I remember the lady from the MAC store asking about it. It has a warm orange undertone and it goes best with other warm tones. However, doesn’t look flattering on pale ladies get your tan on before wearing chili. So pasty ladies keep your hands off this color </3.



 -Marrakesh: A warm auburn (reddish) brown shade. It has orange undertones so it is NOT like Chili. It’s way darker. It’s going to be discontinued so find your tube ASAP!!


-Pink Plaid: A medium, blue toned pink that doesn't look mauve or bubble gum toned. It’s perfect for the Barbie look! And looks amazing of tanned skin tone. Pair it with neutral eye, or any cool toned shadows, purples, brown, black smoky, silver, etc.



 -Please Me: It’s a pale muted pink. Looks amazing for day look and its more natural than pink plaid, because it warmer and peachy. Looks absolutely divine on blondes or brownish hair with either red or gold undertones.



 -Kinda Sexy: A fleshy/coral/muted pink tone. Simply amazing! Wear it with a beige/brown blusher and black eyeliner and you are good to go. I’m almost out of this color and that means that I love it, coz I never finished a lipstick.

Hope you enjoyed it <3

Lipstick

Almost all girls go through lipstick DRAMA!! There are quite categories to choose from such as lipstick finish and lipstick shade. I believe in order to find your perfect lipstick you have to look for the finish that you like. It took me pretty long time to find mine, which is MATTE. It will take you more time to figure your favorite lipstick finish that looks good on YOU “ not all colors or finishes suits everyone’s complexion or type” and then it will become easier to figure out your favorite shades. So this is short summary of all the Mac lipstick finishes = )

MAC lipstick comes in nine different finishes:


 Amplified and Amplified Creme: These two are in the same “family” – both are soft and creamy, have a medium-to-high level of pigment and coverage, with a glossy finish. I think the difference is that Amplified Cremes are… creamier (to state the obvious).


 Cremesheen: They are, as the name suggests, creamy and glossy. They are also well pigmented.


 Dazzle: Very glittery – each lipstick has “micro-glitter” particles in it, so they have a very sparkly finish. I think the glitter in these is even more concentrated than in the Dazzleglass glosses, so if you like very high-impact, glittery lips these are for you( I like to call it “Batani Style”).


 Frost: These lipsticks are quite sheer, and always shimmery. It’s perfect finish if you are seeking Kim Kardashian’s look or for a dark smoky eye.


 Glaze: Very sheer and translucent. These are very subtle, extremely low coverage, and can almost just look transparent. Glazes are best layered over other lipsticks. If you can’t find a certain color in either amplified crème or cremesheen buy it matte and pop some glaze on it “they aren’t shimmery, but glossy”.


 Lustre: These have a glossy, wet-look finish, and quite a good color payoff. The good thing about luster that they aren’t shimmery they have ZERO glitter ,which I love.


 Matte: Quintessential matt lipstick. As with most matt products they tend to be drying on the lips, but have great color payoff, pigmentation and coverage. However, if you don’t have dry lips and God blessed you with conditioned, soft and lovely lips you don’t need to worry about it chipping .


 Satin: Think matt with a teeny tiny bit of gloss. Like matt lipsticks, they are highly pigmented, give great coverage and are long-lasting, but unlike matt they are not too drying.


Sometimes the distinctions between each category are very insignificant, and so take the classifications with a pinch of salt. They are however, a pretty useful guide to choosing lipsticks if you have no idea where to start!

If you know me guyz you probably think, believe and know that I should be in rehab. However, I decided to share my addiction with you guyz (my mom should be proud of me). In this blog I will write about makeup, hair and nail polishes where to purchase them in Qatar and if they are worth it plus how to rock the products. I strongly believe that if you are going to ruin your life at least look good doing it! My motto is if I’m going to fail an exam at least look GOOD while doing it!
