Random makeup ask - sending here in case anyone else has this question as well.

Ya gurl is hella pale. Like super pale👻. I can’t not wear lipstick/colour if I’m wearing my contacts because then I’m just seethrough. At least with glasses it creates a contrast.

BUT - I hate reapplying or it fades etc. I want a lipstain type thing that will last, be some colour, and then I can just balm/gloss most of the day.

Any reco’s?💄

Oddly enough, lip stains aren’t my favorite 🫣 they can tend to dry your lips out. However, there’s a new product from Charlotte Tilbury called Airbrush Flawless Matte Lip Blur that is AMAZING!

Now, a trick for lips though, it’s what I do on my brides; Mac Prep & Prime lip primer, a lipliner (I do love the MAC ones), blend the liner out, and then add a later of lipstick (again, MAC is my favorite) take a tissue, and blot the lips and then add another layer.

Matte lips last longer. Glossy/satin lips last less amount of time. Also with glosses, the stickier, the longer they last. Ultimately, there’s not this incredible amazing product that will last forever on your lips. But that lipstick trick, I wear MAC’s Cherry liner and Ruby Woo lipstick, and made it through a charity event with champagne and food for a few hours. Not to mention talking.

LOTD: MAC Lustreglass Lipstick in Ready Teddy (Forever Teddy, 2024) with Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in 10 Nude Delhi. #Scentoftheday Lucky EDP by Dior.

It's the last of my first impressions reviews (sorry there's been delays, it's taken longer than I expected to compile each post). So, I'll be honest, I don't know what's going on with MAC in the UK at the moment. They're not trying, I'll tell you that. The Lunar New Year collection which is always a highlight for me consisted (here) of 2 products, one being a repackaged mascara from the main line. That does not a "collection" maketh in my opinion. Christmas was at best lacklustre and a shambles as usual (the only piece I wanted was the blue sparkling lip balm and of course it didn't launch with everything else and I pulled my hair out speaking to live chat "you can keep checking the 'new in' section", duh, why didn't I think of that). There's so many other products/collections I see on social media that we never even get here (glad I didn't hold my breath for that zodiac range or I wouldn't be here writing this now)! So when I spied these Teddy Forever pieces on Notino months ago and discovered it was a new collection and instead of the MAC website getting it, they wrote a blog post on 'Teddy' products that you could buy, but not the new ones that were clearly supposed to support the blog piece, I just bought them from Notino when I had the chance because I wasn't sure we'd ever get them here.

The packaging looked so lovely (actually it's very light and cheap feeling in person, but pretty looking nonetheless). I bought both lipsticks, a Lustreglass (above left) and Retro Matte (right) and the Lipglass (middle), but didn't get the liquid lip colour and lipliner. There's also a palette for face and eyes (at an eye-watering £49) which MAC do have and then setting spray, mascara and Prep + Prime Lip in special packaging along with a couple of eyeliners, all of which MAC don't appear to be carrying here. It's the lip products I was most interested in anyway. Okay, essay aside, let's get onto that. These products are inspired of course, by Velvet Teddy lipstick, one of MAC's best sellers. I personally feel these are leaning more into Marrakesh than VT though. I was aware of the more reddish tone to them before I bought them. In the swatches I'd say they look a reddish-brown, but in the bullet and on the lips, certainly Ready Teddy (the only one I've tried so far) is more of a brownish-red.

The Lustreglass finish has a glossy-sheen to it and is a little more sheer than other finishes (though I find not as sheer as the older Lustre formula), but the colour was easily built up to opaque. The point of the lipstick seems longer and sharper than older MAC lippies, so it's super precise. The Lipglass in this collection is hella pigmented as you can see, I might need a liner with that one as it's bleeding in the swatches. The gloss/balm I chose to wear with RT actually made the lipstick underneath disappear from everywhere but the edges of my mouth, so I blotted most of it off and reapplied just the lipstick. This post turned into more of a MAC debate than the specific lipstick, but I've needed to get all that off my chest for a good while now, so thank you for making it this far x

Easy make-up hacks to elevate mature skin

Our beauty routine can get stuck in a rut while we change our wardrobe in tune with the seasons. It's easy to do, especially if you feel comfortable with the same old products and techniques. "One of the questions I get asked a lot about as a makeup artist, is how best to wear makeup over the age of 40," says Carly Utting, senior artist at cosmetic company MAC. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carly Utting (@mac_carlyutting) "And truth be told, this will look differently than it did when you were 20." As an over-40 makeup artist and wearer, Utting uses makeup to enhance her features, making them smoother, plumper, or more defined. "As we age, the tone of your skin changes and we tend to loose pigmentation in the lips and cheeks, so this is where I focus on when styling a makeup look for an over-40s client," highlights Utting. Skin prep Skin Prep Aimee Connolly, makeup artist and founder of Sculpted by Aimee, says: "Regardless of your age, a great makeup day always begins with your a skin prep." This is the first step in elevating mature skin "Makeup will apply more seamlessly when using the right base products for your skin concerns – for all skin, hydration is key, and particularly as we age." Before you grab your makeup bag, Connolly says to give your skin the drink it needs with a silky-smooth serum and hydrating moisturizer. Sculpted By Aimee HydraGlo, $34 She suggests a hydrating serum infused with the all-important, skin-boosting ingredient hyaluronic acid for lasting luminosity. Paired with a ceramide-rich daily moisturizer, Connolly says the skin barrier will be strengthened, and moisture will be locked in. "This will prolong your makeup while still keeping your skin hydrated." Foundation MAC Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation $46 "Selecting the best foundation for my skin has been a little like finding my perfect pair of jeans!" says Utting. I've trialed so many over the last couple of years, and my main advice would be to opt for a serum-like foundation or a foundation with lots of skin-care ingredients." She continues: "These foundations not only add radiance and even out the skin, but they treat the skin while you're wearing it." Powder View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sofia Schwarzkopf-Tilbury ❤️ (@sofiatilbury) "When powdering the skin, opt for blurring, finely milled powder," advises Utting. She suggests MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Powder for 40+ skin. "This formula will softly blur fine lines and texture, to create a smooth, even base, particularly when applied with a soft medium-sized brush," explains Utting. MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Weightless Loose Powder, $36 "Packing too much powder onto fine lines can enhance them, but softly brushing powder with a brush works wonders at disguising them!" Blush MAC Glow Play Blush, So Natura $33 Utting says she adores adding a creamy, radiant color to the cheek on 40+ skin. She suggests MAC Glow Play blushers in So Natural and Blush Please for a beautiful flush of color to the cheek. "The formula lends itself perfectly to a skin that requires a little extra TLC, says Utting. "Bouncy and playful, it adds a luminous, healthy, youthful shine." Sculpted By Aimee Cream Luxe Blush $21 Meanwhile, Connolly says Sculpted by Aimee Cream Luxe Blush in Dusty Rose is her go-to shade: "It will add a natural rosy tint to the apples of the cheeks and tip of the nose, without appearing too strong in colour." Lips MAC Prep + Prime Lip, $23 Utting says a lip primer will smooth out fine lines that form on your lips over time. "This means that when you apply your lipstick, your lips look more even and fuller." She says this should be followed by a lip liner in two or three shades darker than your natural lip shade. "Pushing the boundaries of your natural lip line to enhance the shape is a wonderful way of achieving a fuller pout." Texture-wise, Utting says a soft shine on the lips enhances the shape, so she recommends glossing over the top of any lip shade. She suggests going for super creamy glosses that are not sticky, so they stay put and add a beautiful shine. Eyes "Long-lasting cream eye products will always be my go-to choice when creating eye makeup for 40+ clients," says Utting. I particularly love a soft sheen to brighten and lift the eyes. MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot, Groundwork $26 Connolly adds, "To create an eye-opening effect while maintaining a youthful appearance, opt for natural bronze eyeshadow applied across the eyelid." Sculpted By Aimee Brighten & Define Eyeliner Duo, $16.15 "Enhance definition with a creamy brown kohl liner, particularly suitable for a softer defined eye." She suggests an eyeliner duo with a nude shade on the opposite end. "Which is ideal for brightening the waterline, instantly rejuvenating the eyes." Sculpted by Aimee My Mascara Brown $18 Connolly adds: "Consider switching to a brown mascara, for a softer approach to volumising lashes." Read the full article
