I first apply Whirl all over my lips followed by Honeylove to tone the colour down a bit, making it the perfect everyday lip colour. Whirl is on the left and on the right is Honeylove. Here’s what they look like on my lips too! As you can probably tell, I’m completely obsessed with this lip combination! I did my normal face routine as usual. I applied a new highlighter to my cheeks MAC Gold Deposit. Its a beautiful highlight to deeper skin tones (A good alternate to MAC Whisper Of Guilt, and I will have a review on it soon, stay tuned). My lips are lined with MAC Chestnut Lip Pencil, and filled in with MAC HoneyLove and Creme Cup.
Hey guys!
Its getting to the end of the week and that can only mean one thing, NEW BLOG POST! I have decided to blog about my two favourite lip products which I bought in January but have only just started to use in the past two weeks.
So, I bought these two products on new years day and didn’t really know what to think of them, I bought a MAC Lipstick in the shade Honey Love and a MAC Lip Liner in the shade stripdown, these are a brownish nude shade that work amazingly together!
The texture of the Lipstick is incredible, it is creamy when being applied and has a matte finish, which I prefer as I don’t like the whole glossy look on my lips in particular. The Liner goes onto your lips smoothly leaving them feeling great. The two work together amazingly providing that you blend, I like to have a super matte finish and although the lipstick itself is matte, I also apply a little loose transparent powder after I have worked the two products together and have the desired look.
Honeylove is one of my favorite MAC lipsticks with Jubilee and Velvet Teddy. It is a beautiful matte light rosy beige shade. I was afraid it was going to be too light on my coloring (NW 20) but. This lipliner makes very nude color wearable on my nc40-42 skin. Pair this with Honeylove, Twig, or Melted Nude (Too Faced). The MAC Honeylove Lipstick will stay on the lips for around 4 to 5 hours and in the end it wears off evenly without staining the lips. The Honeylove shade is perfect for everyday use when you want to wear something subtle. This beigy nude shade will suit extremely pale to light skin tones and will wash out medium to dark skin tones.
MAC Lipsticks and Liners are Incredible, I definitely recommend them to all of you out there, however I will say, make sure you visit a MAC store and test the colours on yourself before you buy.
Thank you for reading this post guys, I apologise for it not being as interesting as you may have hoped, I promise I will make up for it next week.
I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
