MAC Lipstick – Pink Nouveau (My perfect pink)

This post is dedicated to one of my favorite lipsticks; MAC Pink Nouveau Lipstick. I’ve mentioned it before, and probably will again considering it’s a must have in my makeup bag.

This lipstick is simply stunning. For sure in my top 5 go-to’s.

MAC describes this lipstick as a “bright pink”.

To me, this is a cool, mid toned pink that is very wearable. It’s definitely a bold lip colour, but the shade of pink is one you can easily pull off. Not one of those shades that draws a lot of attention (like say Candy Yum-Yum – which I also love). If it’s your first few times experimenting with bolder lipsticks, this is a shade I’d recommend.

It was love at first application. Pink Nouveau has a satin finish; meaning it’s very pigmented yet keeps the lips conditioned, leaving you with a semi-matte finish. Satin finishes are like the Goldilocks of lipsticks – they’re just right. Not too matte you feel like your lips are crazy dry, and not super moisturizing that you’re reapplying every 30 minutes. The perfect in between.

Without lip liner, this lipstick lasts a good 4.5 hours. It also leaves a nice stain to the lips once it’s worn off which is nice to still have a little pigment once the colour starts to fade.

It’s no surprise to me that Pink Nouveau is one of MAC’s best selling lipsticks. Almost anyone can pull it off. From the fairest of skin, to darker complexions; I’d say this is one lipstick with a lot of wiggle room in regards to looking good on different people. Even my Mom loves this colour, so if you’re a mature Women (or Man) definitely don’t shy away from this shade.

However, I do always recommend trying on any lipstick before buying; just in case it’s not your taste.

I’ve been thinking about doing a post about eye makeup to wear with a bold lip, if you all would be interested in that? Let me know.

Are you a bold lip fan?

If so, what’s your favourite shade?

If not, what are your favourite colours to play with? I’m always looking to add to my collection!…even though I probably don’t need to. My collection is ridiculous.
