| My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva |
When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades.
Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone.
I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color.
My First Impression:
My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!"
My First Swatch:
My mind: "Ohhhhh.... isn't it matte?? Howcome its so soft and velvety, Yet so well pigmented?"
My First Lip Swatch:
My mind: "You are coming home with me babay!"
My Overall Take:
It is a beautiful matte-formula lipstick and very well pigmented. The shade is more appropriate for evening/night time look. I do not usually like darker shades in matte formula because of the struggle in the application, but this shade is a total killer, it applies well and also doesn't transfer and is very long lasting.
Pros
-Flattering shade
-Amazing formula
-Good brand
-Long lasting
Cons
-Pricey
-Some people may find the formula drying
