As you may know, last year my obsession with MAC lipsticks began, and over the past year... well you can say it has got a little bit out of hand. I did this same post last year with 6 lipsticks, and now just over 1 year later I DIYed a lipstick holder suitable for 28 lipsticks and I have almost filled it up... so I thought that it was only right that I did an updated MAC Lipstick Collection. I do have a couple more lipsticks that aren't in the holder which I have included in this list, but I haven't included my Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Oh, Lady'. I like to keep all my MAC lipsticks together on display in my DIY; the box is from a Ted Baker gift set I got for Christmas and I just made my own seperators and poped them inside the box... I think it looks good.
 |
| Jubilee (Lustre Finish). This is a really nice nude with a sheer finish. Perfect for every day wear, this is one of my favourites. |
 |
| Honey Love (Matte Finish). This lipstick is a light beige with a pinky hue in it. I love to pair this with a darker lipliner. |
 |
| Mocha (Satin Finish). A more recent addition to my collection. A dark brown nude with yellow based undertones. I can see this becoming a fast favourite. |
 |
| Taupe (Matte Finish). Very similar to Mocah, just slightly darker with a cooler undertone. I really like this one and wear it a lot. |
 |
| Retro (Satin Finish). This is another nude, but leaning towards a dark red/brown. I really like to wear this one in the winter months. |
 |
| Creme in Your Coffee (Cremesheen Finish). Love, love, love this one! If you are worried about any of the previous shades being too bold but still want to venture into trying brown based nudes, then this is the one for you! The cremesheen finish makes this one such a beautiful every day lipstick. |
 |
| Viva Glam V (Lustre Finish). My first lipstick I bought from the Viva Glam range, this range donates their profits to help those with AIDS. A sheen of pinky nude with flecks of sparkle. |
 |
| Hue (Glaze Finish). To be honest, I'm not really a fan of this one. Its a peachy nude but I hate the way this looks on my lips; even in the swatch it looks cakey and patchy which is wrong for a glaze finish. |
 |
| Costa Chic (Frost Finish). My only Frost lipstick, a bright pinky coral shade which is perfect for the Summer. Shame it doesn't really suit my skintone. |
 |
| Viva Glam II (Satin Finish). A very cool toned nude. I feel lke this is the cool version of Honeylove but with hints of pink/mauve. I really need to start experimenting with this one more to make it work for me. |
 |
| Faux (Satin Finish). Another one which I am trying to make work. A lovely pinky nude which is many peoples 'my lips but better' shade, but I find it very light on my lips. Try with a lipliner maybe... |
 |
| Brave (Satin Finish). Very similar to Faux, just slightly more pink which works for me better than Faux. I like to wear this one when I feel really girly. |
 |
| Twig (Satin Finish). This was my second ever MAC lipstick that I bought and it is still one of my favourites. The next shade darker than Brave, I really really like this mauve-y nude. |
 |
| Cosmo (Amplified Finish). I used to love this one and I really need to get back into this. I love the amplified finish, this is slightly lighter than Twig. Love this for an opaque neutral lip. |
 |
| Plumful (Lustre Finish). Another favourite for the Winter which would be a good starter for anyone venturing into darker berry toned lips. A dark pink/berry which I really love for every day wear. |
 |
| Capricious (Lustre Finish). Like above, perfect for those wanting to get into wearing red lips. I feel that Lustre finishes are great for people trying to get into wearing bold colours as they are sheer but still offer the colour. Love Capricious! |
 |
| Rebel (Satin Finish). A dark pinky/purple which is a cult favourite. There is a reason why this is one of MAC's best sellers, it is so unique! This colour looks different on everyone and I love it when I am wearing an all black outfit. |
 |
| D for Danger (Matte Finish). As above, I love this one with an all black outfit. A beautiful dark pink with a red undertone, it can be slightly drying but wear it with a lipliner and it will look awesome! |
 |
| Hot Tahiti (Glaze Finish). This was my first red lipstick from MAC to try and get into wearing red lips. It is very sheer and I really like it, but I'm gutted that it is broken so I don't wear it as much as I would like. |
 |
| Party Line (Cremesheen Finish). I'd say that this is a darker version of Capricious and Hot Tahiti mixed together with a more opaque finish. I wore this one on Christmas Day! |
 |
| Cardinal (Satin Finish). This lipstick was in a special collection and I ordered it online and it looked nothing like the online swatches! This is a cool toned red with pinky undertones. I honestly don't get much wear out of this one as I prefer a sheer red lip. I might wear this one for a panto or a show one year. |
 |
| Chili (Matte Finish). This one is an acception. I love Chili, it is such a unique red with a burnt orange/teracotta mix to it. It suprisingly isn't that drying considering it's a Matte finish. |
 |
| Sin (Matte Finish). I like to wear this one in the Winter on the odd occasion. Such a vampy brown-ish red. It is very matte though and I do find it drying so I do have to use a lipliner underneath so it doesn't bleed. |
 |
Paramount (Satin Finish). Another one I bust out on the odd occasion. A dark brown with a warm undertone, I had tried Stone but I hated the way it looked on me so I swapped it for Paramount.
I don't have a swatch of Verve or See Sheer unfortunately but I will still discuss them as they are new to my collection:
Verve (Satin Finish). This is the colour you need if you want a cool toned brown but don't like Stone. I only recently discovered this one and it looks so nice. Not as red toned as Paramount, but it really ia a nice shade.
See Sheer (Lustre Finish). This is a great summer colour, a sheer red toned coral which I absoloutlely love. I don't own anything like this at all.
