Summer Lip trend Choices!

Most of the makeup trends that we drool over from the Runway are hardly wearable in real life.

But definitely adaptable so that the dogs on our streets do not chase us ;) It all takes a little bit of tapping on the Google baba :)

I was pouring over Grazia and noticed the article on popping lip color trend. And that gave me an idea on doing this post.

I am sharing some lip colors that are perfect for summer but not OTT :) 

Let me start with Fuchsia :

• Maybelline High Shine Lipstick in Fruit Punch : It just stole my heart in the first swipe :) Bright Fuchsia that IS WEARABLE. It is a color that will make u feel pretty instantly. Price : Rs.400/-
• Colorbar True Gloss in Vintage Rose : Not for office wear. Very bright and needs courage to carry off outside home. Price : Rs.495/-
• Colorbar Oh My Magenta : A matte and subdued form of the vintage rose gloss. Price : Rs.250/-

 Tangerine:

• Maybelline High Shine Gloss in Captivating Coral : A warm tangerine gloss. Pigmentation is sheer for those who are not into bold oranges. Price : Rs.350/-
• Revlon Lip butter in Tutti fruiti : A hybrid of vampire and werewolf. Jk! it is a hybrid of lip balm and lipstick. Sheer and very balmy. Price: Rs. 600/-
• Revlon Lip Balm+ Stain in Rendezvous : balmy in texture but sets to matte finish after an hr or so. Medium orange with golden shimmers.Stays put for long. Price : Rs.600/-
• Inglot Lipstick refill in 37 : A popping reddish orange shade. U need helluva guts ;) or just use fingers to sheer it out like I do. Price : Rs.300/ (revised)

Coral :

•  MAC See Sheer Lipstick : I am hooked to this shade. Peachy coral with a glossy finish. Must have for fair warm skin tones. Price : Rs.990/-
• Inglot Lipstick refill in 56 : Another peachy coral with semi matte finish.Deeper than see sheer. Price : Rs.300 (revised).
• Avon mango mania : Technically not a coral but it looks coral on me so anyways. A pinkish coral with orange undertones and sets to a matte finish. Price : Rs.129 (not sure).

P.S. : Avon mango mania used to look brownish orange on me initially. But these days everything takes a pinkish hue on me. So put down ur mosquito bats this instant!

MAC See Sheer Lipstick Review with Swatches!!

My First MAC lipstick Review!! Yaaay!!

I had always wanted Cosmo as my first MAC but it did not exactly flatter me under the store lights. Actually no lipstick did but I wanted Crosswires and Mehr.As both were OOS I picked this up along with Captive :)

MAC See Sheer is the most flattering peachy coral I have come across! And this is not coming from me cuz it is my first MAC. Honestly I am liking it more than my Revlon Soft Rose and that is saying something ;) If u are looking to buy a summer color from MAC then check this out! I guarantee u would be floored by the color especially if u are fair-medium.

The packaging is standard MAC so I am not gonna dwell on it.
 
It is from the Lustre Finish range of MAC and provides sheer coverage with one swipe. But the opacity can be built to almost 75-80%.

Has a soft honey like texture and gives a glossy finish. Is lightweight and hence would not bleed like other creamy lipsticks. Keeps my lips hydrated. 

The only con is the staying power which is just 2 hours on me :\ But I do not mind reapplying :)

I have dry lips and I always use a lip balm underneath lipsticks. This one does not settle into my fine lines.I saw sum reviews complaining about it but thank God that does not happen with me ;)

It goes well with coral and peach blushes :) Totally a no fuss lipstick that can be worn with minimal makeup for the soft look and not to forgot the delicious vanilla smell :D 

Layer Revlon Papaya gloss over this to attain Coral Nirvana :)

VERDICT :

A coral color that stole my heart with its glossy finish and dry lip friendly texture :)  If u have more pink in ur lips it would probably look a pinky coral on u. It is my first MAC and if at all it gets over am gonna re purchase for sure ;)
