I think I am definitely going through a dark lip color phase right now, and it’s not just the impending cooler months. Ever since I spotted really dark lips as a trend on the red carpet at the Met Gala back in May, I’ve been hooked. Not only did the dark lips look incredibly mysterious and sexy on everyone, but they were rocking them in the middle of spring, and it still looked extremely on trend. It was really unexpected, and ever since then I have been on a vampy lip kick. I picked up this MAC Pro Longwear Lipglass in Lasting Achievement because it has the most gorgeous sparkle, set inside of a dark red-purple. Let’s see pictures,
This is actually my first ever Pro Longwear Lipglass. It’s exactly what it sounds like…a typical MAC Lipglass with super staying power.
I was initially really into the color because it’s a red-based purple shade that is darkened and vampy. Then this gloss hit the light and I fell even more in love with it because it contains super fine particles of shimmer in it. I think it turns an ultra chic shade into something a little less serious and a bit more playful and fun.
I like the wand applicator on these, too. They aren’t doe-footed but they are flat on both sides, which makes it really easy to put down color and get a precise application.
I feel very mature and sophisticated when I wear this shade, not to mention sexy! It’s very mysterious and “come hither.” It makes my lips look plumper than they are because it’s so bold. The overall wear of this gloss is slightly better than the average lip gloss, as I noticed it stuck around longer than usual (a few hours).
What are your favorite dark, vampy lip colors and/or brands to wear? I’d love to hear from you! You can help feed my current addiction to dark lip colors.
