MAC Cosmetics teamed up with Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore, to create a bold and fearless collection of makeup. I knew I had to grab the lipstick from the collection, Sounds Like Noise, because it’s a really bright, vibrant, true orange shade…and it’s matte! I love orange lipstick but a lot of them aren’t true oranges, and have red in them. This is a very true, clean bright orange that looks divine on the lips, especially when coupled with the fact that it’s matte. Check out my swatches inside,
This is a matte lipstick, so I definitely recommend making sure your lips are properly exfoliated and conditioned before applying this. I am in love with matte lipstick, but your lips need to be in top condition to wear this, because it’s very dry-feeling and it will show every little imperfection.
Sounds Like Noise is a true Hayley Williams inspired orange. I’m a huge personal lover of orange lipstick, and I’ve been waiting for an authentic orange lipstick shade like this one. This has absolutely no red tones in it, which makes it look very obviously orange. It really brings out the blue in my eyes, and livens up my complexion. I know some people might be afraid to wear this shade, but I do think that many people can pull off a shade like this. Hayley Williams has really fearless, bold style which I admire, so just rock it with confidence!
You can see how truly orange this shade is when it is swatched. Tomorrow is my MS Walk for my dad, and since the color for Multiple Sclerosis Awareness is orange, this is the perfect lipstick to wear for the walk!
Overall: I love it. This shade is so gorgeous and really pops on your lips. You can also add a lip balm or gloss on top of this to hydrate your lips more if you need to. I think the true, vibrant orange shade looks really great as a matte shade, though. I’m personally glad that I picked this shade up for my makeup collection!
MAC Hayley Williams “Sounds Like Noise” Lipstick is limited edition exclusively online at MAC’s website. Each lipstick retails for $15.00 USD. There is also an eyeshadow, a nail polish, and a Mineralize Skinfinish to this collection.

I’m not a big fan of orange lipstick but this looks very creamy and moisturising! Is this finish available for other MAC lipsticks?
BeautyGala says
There are definitely other matte MAC lipstick shades. I love the matte finishes…they do feel a bit more dry than other lipsticks, but they never feel bone-dry to me!
