I really wanted just one item from the MAC “All About Orange” Collection, and it was Sushi Kiss Lipstick. I was so happy to get my hands on it and I have to say that I feel like this lipstick was made for me. It’s the perfect coral-orange shade that is light, but not too light. It just seems to flow perfectly with my complexion, eye color, and hair color. It’s rare that I feel like a lipstick was made for me! I’ve got full swatches inside,
So I usually take photographs for my blog before I dip into a product, but I was having date night tonight, and I knew I needed to wear this. It encompasses summertime perfectly. Sushi Kiss is a satin finish, and it’s an orange-coral mix. It’s lighter than a lot of coral lipsticks in my makeup collection which is what drew me to it. It has that lightening, pastel lip effect while still being very flattering.
I love that it’s not too light that it looks extremely milky or chalky. I also like that it’s bright and fun without being too loud. It really is the perfect shade to wear as a “nude lip” if you’re doing heavy, smoky, neutral eyes.
I did my eye makeup tonight with some brown eyeshadow in the crease and some black liner. I thought this was the perfect shade of lipstick to top the look off and it honestly transformed my entire makeup look. It made my cheeks look more luminous and glowing, and my skin looked a lot smoother. My blue-green eyes stand out big-time while wearing this shade…it makes them pop like crazy. I received a lot of compliments on this lipstick, even one straight from my husband who said the color looked “hot” on me. Not bad, huh?
Overall, I think “Sushi Kiss” is a great option for a variety of people. If you’re fair, this lip color is light enough to still be flattering on you. This also has a warmth to it so it works well on medium and dark skin tones, as well.
MAC Cosmetics “All About Orange” Collection is limited edition and available at MAC counters nationwide. Each lipstick retails for $15.00 USD. Sushi Kiss sold out on MAC’s website very quickly, but it’s still available at Nordstrom’s website online (free shipping, too!). It is back-ordered until June 26th, 2013 as of right now. If you’re looking for a unique and gorgeous pastel orange-coral shade, you will love “Sushi Kiss.”
