MAC The Matte Lip Collection (Oct 9, 2014)

[Jill1228]

Swatches on NW 10 (or lighter) skin, pale pink lips, no liner Fashion Revival direct sunlight: no direct light: Color is pretty true to what it really looks like in each lighting. If anything, it might be smidge darker in real life.  Living Legend direct sunlight: It's less brown in real life. no direct light: My camera doesn't capture the plummyness that well unfortunately.  It really looks like one of those old Hollywood film noir lipsticks. Very dramatic but despite its darkness rather sophisticated than goth looking in my opinion.

Love!!!!

Living Legend definitely looks like a dark burgundy here. I am back in love with this color. I think. Time will tell.

I usually just wear mascara for an everyday eye look - I am not really a heavy eye makeup girl... Definitely take a look at LVER. It is an orangey-red with some pink in it IMO. Similar to TA but not too similar. I think you'll like it I didn't try it on that's why IDK how it'll look on the lips. Maybe I will try it on when I visit my store the next time - I can tell you what it looks like.

Just checked again and LVER is more of a red with a little bit of coral whereas TA is more coral and less red On camera it looks more coral/orange than it does on the lips irl.

I swatched BF on my hand. It's perfect for Living Legend. I am not really a lipliner kind of girl.. too lazy most of the times But I might use a brighter/plummy lipliner to make the lipstick look a little less dark at times. I'm not buying expensive lipliners as of now because I rarely ever use them and the drugstore ones seem to be good enough for my purposes.
I don't know why..but I'm not willing to spend as much on a MAC lipliner as I spend on their lipsticks

Totally understandable. Just today I've been thinking about buying a blush bec I need one for a prom. I tried some at MAC but then I got into thinking and told myself that I shouldn't buy one at MAC if I don't use it that often. I am no blush-girl so I decided to buy one at a drugstore or borrow one from my mother.
Same story just with another product

Stunning! Loveeeeddddd FR!

 

[Periodinan]

Let me just tell you that LL and FR are awesome!
Everyone who likes vampy lipcolours should buy LL. I wore it today, it wasn't patchy on me and it applied like a dream. I used Bespoken For lippencil with it and it was peeeeerfect.
I received so many compliments.
Haven't worn FR yet but I tried it on and it was love at first sight

Girly! Thanks! Thanks an awesome comparision!

You - and everyone else who thanked me for the comparison - are/is welcome.
Makes me happy if I can help you

 

[BeautyFan55]

Hey peeps, can someone suggest a lipliner that would go with FR. Thank

 

[gabzillaa]

so I have both Lingering Kiss and TTT, I shouldn't bother with Living Legend, right?

So it's easier for me to list what I am not getting, lol! Not getting DG and Heroine.

 

[ramarose]

I hope this launches nice and easy peasy, early on, say, 7am-9am like a normal collection *twitches*
Trying to decide if I should grab a lipliner..

My list:

Pander Me
Fashion Revival
Damn Glamorous

Already have Heroine and Staunchly Stylish. I just got Staunchly Stylish a month ago and I've really been loving it!

 

[Sweetyellow]

The only rule I have with this collection is NO BACKUPS. I just can't afford it.

Thank you!!! So helpful! I am skipping LVER because TA is more my style and I have it, so I'm good there. I still kinda want NV, but I think if I wake up tomorrow morning at my regular time and can order it I will. I'm not going to stay up for it or wake up at crazy hours.
