Retro: MAC Lipstick Review



Lipstick - Retro MAC Cosmetics



Hi again, hope you's are all doing well. I had intended to do another outfit post today, but because of the awful English weather i was unable to (will do it next week instead) instead i decided to do a quick review of one of my favourite lipstick's at the moment.

This lipstick is Retro by Mac, it is one of their satin finish lipsticks. I rarely go a day without applying lipstick, so my favourite lipstick varies quite a lot, but since the day I purchased this I have worn it constantly. As you can see from the image below it is quite a browny colour, but on your lips it also has a slight purple/maroon undertone, which is what i loved about it because purple and browns are the colours i usually go for (best of both worlds). This is quite an understated dark shade, so if you are wanting to try out a darker lipstick but are a bit apprehensive this would be a perfect shade for you to try.

Although it is a satin finish lipstick, i would say on your lips it looks like a matte finish, but has a lovely smooth texture, which a matte lipstick often lacks. I find this colour extremly wearable during the day but also on a night out, with a smokey eye and liner. It's a really easy shade to wear because it is very longlasting, so doesn't need to be re-applied often (bonus!).




Appologies for the blurriness my camera wouldn't focus properly (grr)


MAC is a high-end lipstick brand so it's price of £15 is a bit steep but i would say it's well worth the money because it's longlasting and versatile, A colour that would suit all.
