FAVORITE MAC LIPSTICKS FOR SPRING

 Makeup is a passion of mine! So I decided to pen down a beauty related post, which was old-school. When I had started blogging, which was almost a decade back, it was quite trendy to pen down monthly beauty favorites or even seasonal favorites. As blogs became less popular and Instagram frenzy took over, few kids of posts fell through the cracks. All of us content creators were busy chasing the algorithms. Any f you miss the old school blog posts?

If you do, this one's for you. Amidst the sunny and rainy cold days,  we can't deny the fact that Spring is surely here. And just like fashion, our beauty choices also change with the changing weather. Cue the peaches and pinks, and all the pastels!

While there are so many favorite beauty brands, I shall always be partial to MAC Cosmetics. They are undoubtedly my favorite when it comes to lipsticks and eye shadows. I picked out just 6 lipsticks from my collection of MAC lipsticks, as my Spring favorites, as I have reached out for these the most in recent times. Well, I know what you must be thinking. When we completed our third week of staying at home/quarantine life, how am I talking about makeup? Like so many others, I have been working from home, which invi=olves multiple Zoom calls. I have seen that when I make the effort to get dressed ad do my makeup, my productivity is surely high. The temptation is real, to be in sweats all day, but it isn't working for me.

The 6 lipsticks from MAC that I chose for my Spring makeup are as follows:
(from left to right) - Velvet Teddy, Speed Dial, Costa Chic, Patisserie, Mehr, Flamingo. For reference, I am C2 or NC 20 with reference to MAC foundations. Which means I have a light tone, with a very warm undertone. Let's start with Patisserie, shall we, as you can see, it is the one I am wearing in the photos. Its been a cult favorite over the years, and once you use it, you will realize why. MAC describes it as sheer creamy neutral pink, in a Lustre finish.

Velvet Teddy (first from left to right) is another cult favorite when it comes to neutrals from MAC. From Lustres, we venture into Mattes. Velvet Teddy is a deep tone beige, in a  no-shine matte finish. Although its matte, it is not at all drying. I love the color payoff and its a perfect transitional shade from Winter to Spring.

Speed Dial (second from left to right) is a shade that I had tried out many times, and it never made it to my shopping cart, till I got one before it was discontinued. Speed Dial is a blue-based pink with a golden sheen, in a Cremesheen finish. The color pay off is sheerer, and it's a great shade for work, or day time use.

 Costa Chic (third from left to right) can be described as frosty light coral. I know frost screams 80s, but this is surely chic, just as the name suggests. The formula is buildable, without becoming cakey. When the pool reopens and we resume normal, this one of the perfect shades for all those pool dates.

Mehr (fifth from left to right) is one of those shades, which I repeat buy. Mehr is one of those shades which was created by Mickey Contractor, MAC Global Artist from India, and Bollywood's favorite make up guru. Mehr can be described as dirty blue pink in a matte finish. It is my everyday shade, no matter what time of the year it is.

Last but the least, is Flamingo! Another favorite of mine, which I have bought many times. It can be described as light milky bright coral in a luster finish. Years ago, it was a limited edition shade, till about 5 years ago, I think, it became a permanent shade. Its the perfect peach which literally suits everyone.

Hopefully, you liked my picks for Spring lipsticks from MAC, and I was able to distract you a bit, from the pandemic news. Stay well, everyone!
