mac lipstick | My Make Up Trunk

Ahhh I finally have this little beauty, the very first Mac lipstick that I wanted. This is, in my opinion a lipstick shade that would suit everyone as long as you have the confidence to rock a bold lip. Mac’s Rebel is a pinky mid toned purple shade with a satin finish which gives it an almost glossy look on the lips. It’s the most perfect Autumn/Winter shade and I already know that i’m going to be wearing it to death for the rest of this year. Rebel is a long lasting lipstick, but because of this is does have the tendency to feel drying after a few hours wear so it’s best to make sure you have conditioned lips before applying it. Rebel is the sort of shade that can be worn with any make up look and works great day or night. I like to wear it with a matte smokey eye for a day time look, and then if I want to go all out at night, I’ll wear it with a intense, glittery smokey eye and killer lashes. If you are the sort of person who is scared of wearing a dark lip but wants to try, I think Rebel is the perfect one to start with as it is really easy to apply and looks good no matter what your skin tone. Oh and it smells amazing!

Have you tried Mac’s Rebel?

Verdict
Can I just start by saying I LOVE the smell of this lipstick, it’s like walking into a sweet shop!

Anyway..Mac All Fired Up is a part of the retro matte range which I have personally never tried anything from up until now. The lipstick itself is a deep fuchsia pink, this colour is rather bold on my skin (Mac NW20) and would probably appear a lot less out there on darker skin tones. However saying this I do believe that this shade would suit all skin shades!

I find the lasting power of it to be insane! I wore this lipstick out recently for my birthday and it lasted a good 8 hours without being reapplied.

The only dislike I have about this lipstick is how drying it is on the lips but that’s down to matteness of it. I find that a good solution to this is by using a hydrating lip balm before applying so that the lipstick is not going on to dry skin.

The lipstick retails at £15 and you can buy it here
