MOTD | MAC of the Day: Lychee Luxe Lipglass
It’s MOTD time again. Woot! Today’s feature is Lychee Luxe Lipglass. This is one that has been around for quite a bit, but seems to kind of stay under the radar. I thought it was time I kicked it out into the spotlight for you.
Lychee Luxe: Pinky-coral with golden shimmer
Lychee Luxe has a good amount of colour pay-off. As far as the shade, Lychee Luxe looks more orange in the tube than it actually applies. It goes on as more of a peach. The gold pearl is pretty apparent in this gloss and in my opinion is really what makes it a winner. The gold pearl just pops when you add Lychee Luxe over most lipsticks and liners. It is also a really flexible colour as it can bend into so many different shades with a little help from a lipstick or liner. Here are a few:
The colour, frost and gold pearl make it wearable on a good range of lip pigmentations and skin tones. This is great on skin with yellow undertones, but don’t let that rule it out for you if you are an NW. I am an NW20 and love this gloss. Here are a few of my favourite pairing suggestions (all MAC):
- Line lips with Magenta liner and blend in, then apply Lychee Luxe. By far my fave look. You will LOVE it!
- Line lips with Redd liner. Apply a coat of Brave Red lipstick then blot it with a tissue. Apply a coat of Lychee Luxe over your red-stained lips. They will look like they are on fire! The key to this look is a yellow-based red.
- For a nice, subtle pinky coral, apply Lychee Luxe over Sandy B lipstick
- For a warmer look, try Mahogany liner, Fresh Moroccan lipstick and Lychee Luxe lipglass. This is great for med-dark skintones.
- Nightmoth or Mahogany liner, “O” lipstick, then Lychee Luxe. This is a WoC stunner.
Who rocks Lychee Luxe? Tried it? Love it? Loathe it? How do you wear it?
I love this gloss on its own!!
OOOO I keep hearing good things about it, but after this post, I am going to pick it up when I get my Makeup Art Cosmetics stuff!
I bought this gloss a couple of months back, but have yet to wear it. I think I’ll wear it over a liner for more depth.
I’ve had this gloss for a while…I like to layer it with another gloss to tone it down, alone I feel like its to much for my complexion
Oops I have Plus Luxe not Lychee hahaa…oh well I guess I’m gonna have check it out.
Well it has been a staple in my collection for very long. This summer coral has been so hot overhere in Denmark, so Lynchee Luxe has been a must have colour. I use it over Fleshpot, and love it like that
Have it, love it! I put it on over Crosswires for a big, coral, POP!
Im at the end of the color NW55 and I wear this with underworld l/s.I rim my lipline with underworld and add lychee luxe right in the middle
I lurve Lychee Luxe, even made my bf get me a back up tube while he was in an int’l airport about 2 months ago. It is such a beautiful color, perfect for tan skin or spring time.
I’ve never tried it but I’ll deffinently check it out the next time I’m at a mac counter another one I love that has that gold shimmer to it is POSH IT UP. I love this one!!! It was the first MAC Gloss I bought and I’ve made sure I’ve had one in my collection ever since!
That sounds spectacular! Thanks for the tip.
Love this!
I have it over marisheeno l/s, 3N l/s, and other lipsticks that don’t look good on its own (at least on me); i.e. fresh brew, purple rite, plink
Definitely need to try this out! it looks divine, i always ignore it in store so i shall give it a look next time!
