Favourite Lip Combo


Hello lovelies,
How is the new year going? I really wanted to share this lip combo with you, because I have been loving it in December, especially for Christmas. But it can still be worn as a pretty red lip, because it is gorgeous. For this lipcolour I've started with lining my lips with M.A.C Chicory lip pencil. I then went on top with M.A.C lipstick in Retro and topped it of with a red lipgloss by Tanya Burr called Vampire Kiss. The lipliner helps making the lips look clean and increases the time needed between touch ups. The lipstick creates the darkness in the lipcolour and makes the lips less dry. The lipgloss adds some shine and a touch of red. The result? A gorgeous brownish/red glossy lip.
What do you think about this perfect threesome? Do you love it as much as I do? Let me know in the comments.

Review: M.A.C Lipstick in Retro

 

Recently picked up this gorgeous lipstick. Isn't it just perfect for autumn and winter? This Mac Lipstick in Retro is a gorgeous teracotta/rusty red colour. It's not an in the face red, but almost a muted red, due to it's brown and peachy tones and pink undertones, making it perfect for every day wear.
It is one of Mac's satin formulas which means great and even pigmentation, non-drying on the lips and a semi-matte finish. It is creamy to apply and I would suggest using a lipliner. I picked up Mac's lip pencil in Chicory to go with this. It's just a tint lighter creating a soft gradient, ombre effect.
It is a lipstick not very popular in the blogging world, but it's my favourite. This colour will suit a lot of skintones and hair colours, so honestly, why not?
