Top 3 Mac Lipsticks for Fall.

 Hi Dolls,with autumn fast approaching I thought I'd share with you my top 3 mac lipsticks perfect for the fast approaching fall! I adore the autumnal,jewel toned, full-bodied Lipsticks that signal the start of the new season.

1; Captive


First up my favourite lipstick of all time. I reach for this lipstick everyday without fail (i think it's battered appearance vouches for that!🙈) Captive is a plummy/ wine colour perfect for fall or winter. The Satin formula is my favorite from MAC, it's matte with a little bit of moisture to keep it from looking too flat. It's very opaque, pigmented, and isn't too drying,I just have to prepare my lips before wear for maximum longevity. If you prefer a creamier formula MAC's Craving is almost identical to this color, but with an Amplified Creme finish. If you're looking for a perfect plum color this is definitely it,as it is perfect for all skin tones. 

2. Velvet Teddy

First off you should know that I'm not a big nude person. I love wearing bright and bold colors,even on a daily basis. But after being inspired by a more of a natural 90's look that Kylie Jenner has been rocking I decided to take the plunge and purchase velvet teddy...and I haven't looked back! This color is the perfect nude for my nc35 skin. It's a gorgeous pink beige that's dark enough to not wash me out. IMO this is probably the most versatile mac shade because it can be completely transformed depending on the liner or a gloss, or worn alone! This color is extremely matte,so prepping before hand with a good balm is essential  and once applied I can usually get 5-6 hours wear. 

3. All fired up.




I adore the retro matte formulation,it's timelessly classic with just the right hint of drama for everyday wear. The colour is a shocking fusia pink with hints of a cool toned red,which is perfect for making teeth look whiter...what's not to Love?! Since the finish is so matte,it stays on for hours upon hours,until you wipe it off,and even then it leaves behind a nice berry stain. This is also a vibrant,fun alternative to more mature reds,such as ruby woo. The colour is super flattering and I could see it working on a variety of skin tones.
