REVIEW MAC lipstick in Patisserie

I am ALWAYS on the lookout for the perfect nude lip colour.  Although occasionally I will go for a bold lip (current fave is Watch Me Simmer), 9 times out of 10 I go nude (cheeky!).  I tend to find lipsticks are either too brown (Entwined), too pale (Shy Girl) or too neutral yet glossy (Moderne) to fit the bill as the PERFECT shade.


Until now that is

Cue . . .

Patisserie by MAC



This is, in the words of Goldilocks, "just right" and suits me to a tee.

As a Lustre formulation, it is subtle but buildable, with a good dose of creaminess and moisture without being overly glossy.  It won't last forever on the lips though and will come off if you eat or drink, so carry it with you in your handbag.

 

Just loses half a star for staying power.


What are your favourite nude lipsticks?

Have you tried Patisserie?

  2. I've been after a nude lip colour for so long but I'm always scared of looking like I have dreaded foundation lips because I'm so pale! Patisserie looks like it has just enough pink to make sure that I don't look like the corpse bride and I think it'll be making it's way into my bag soon! Thank you for sharing :D

    1. Yeah it is lovely - not too bold a colour but definitely not too nude or foundationy.
