A/W is without a doubt my favourite season. There’s something so lovely about wrapping up warm, seeing your breath, sipping coffees and long, dark evenings. As with all things, there are negatives that come along with it. Looking a bit dull, dry and numb come with the territory of cold weather, so I wanted to shortlist my favourite MAC lipsticks to help perk up your winter complexions.
Crème Cup
Always top of any MAC list I make,
Crème Cup is a well-loved and well-worn lipstick. I love it because it’s effortlessly
pretty and pink without being too in-your-face and bright. It’s such a creamy
lipstick that’ll make you look a whole lot brighter and warmer during the
colder months.
Peach Blossom
Peach Blossom is a frosty, mild peach
toned lipstick with hints of shimmer. This means it’s incredible for those
cooler months because it’ll add a bit of that springtime peachiness to your
makeup. This is also one of my go-to every day lip colours because it’s so
subtle but adds a warm flush of colour. Also, this is a perfect one if you get
ill! It can revive your complexion and breathe some colour back into your skin.
Flamingo
I couldn’t help but add the vibrant
Flamingo into this list. I think it was a limited edition shade, but even so,
if it’s in your collection you should definitely break the rules and wear it
this A/W. The neon orange-toned pink is beautiful, and I think it is
complimented by the amber sunsets and golden leaves of autumn. Though it is
traditionally a summer shade, I’m going to pair it with a warm brown smoky eye
with winged liner for some really pretty evening makeup.
Faux
Okay, so Faux may not be classed as a
‘bright’, but there’s no way I’m leaving it out of my A/W lipstick picks. This
is currently my every day lipstick because, try as I might, I can’t fall out of
love with the 90’s lip. It’s a muted mauve-pink and quite a dark nudey shade on
my pale skin. It’s utterly beautiful though, perfect for any month (in my
opinion) and will bring a rosy flush of prettiness to any face.
Russian Red
All hail Russian Red! I just can’t get
over how beautiful this vivid red is. I didn’t get to wear it this summer much
because I felt like it was too cool toned to look ‘right’. However, now the
days are getting cooler and the sky is getting greyer, I feel like Russian Red
will add a splash of bloody beauty to the dull days of October and November.
Did you agree with my list? I love the traditional berry reds and purples
for autumn/winter, but I can’t resist wanting to warm myself up a little too!
Lots of love,
Jasmine
i'm starting to become obsessed with their lipsticks, faux looks lovely :)
