Miley Cyrus is the newest MAC Viva Glam spokesperson and she created this gorgeous shade for 2015, Viva Glam Miley Cyrus. If you’re not familiar with the MAC Viva Glam line, it’s an incredible charity that gives 100% of proceeds to the MAC AIDS Fund. That means that every single cent you spent towards a Viva Glam Lipstick or Lipglass is going towards the fund, which is simply incredible. I was so excited when I found out last year that Miley Cyrus was going to be the next spokesperson. Love her or hate her, she has made a huge splash in pop culture in the past couple of years and she has really become a beauty and trend icon. Her lipstick is an amplified hot pink shade that is sure to please Miley fans and beauty lovers alike. I’ve got full swatches and photographs of me wearing Viva Glam Miley inside!
I genuinely love MAC because they have a ton of philanthropic programs that give back to the community and various charities. One of their most famous campaigns is the MAC AIDS Fund, which the Viva Glam program contributes to. Every single cent of the price goes to the foundation. I always feel great about purchasing these products because I know they give back. Like other Viva Glam lipsticks, this one has a graphic of the spokesperson’s autograph on the lipstick bullet. The shade itself is an amplified hot pink and it is wild in color. It’s absolutely divine both in the packaging and once you swatch it. If you love hot pinks, you’re going to go crazy over this one!
I wanted to show you what Viva Glam Miley Cyrus looks like under two different types of lighting. One with flash and one with no flash and just a pure ring light. The real life color is somewhere in between the two. The flash makes this shade look purely fuchsia and a tad boring when it is anything but. The ring light photograph really brings out the essence and spirit of the shade, which is a wildly amplified, fiery, hot pink. It is extremely pigmented and you really only need a swipe or two to put down great color.
I can’t tell you how much I love this shade. It’s loud, wild, and free. It’s perfect for a night out on the town or just for one of those days when you need to slap on some lipstick to pick up your mood. It’s dripping and oozing in bright pink glory and it’s stunning on the lips.
HOW I WORE MY VIVA GLAM MILEY: I used Makeup Geek’s “Cupcake” Eyeshadow in the crease and along the lower lash-line and applied Urban Decay’s Moondust Eyeshadow in “Glitter Rock” on the eyelid. I lined my water-line with MAC’s NC15/NW20 Eyeliner Pencil. I created a thick cat-eye on the upper lash-line for dramatic effect.
The look on the eyes is sparkly and playful, which is exactly what Viva Glam Miley is all about.
You can see what the lipstick looks like when paired with a full face of makeup in the above photo’s. It’s such a badass shade of pink! I adore this shade so much.
MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipstick is available at MAC counters nationwide as well as online at MAC’s website. Each lipstick retails for $16.00USD and every single cent goes to the MAC AIDS Fund. There is also a MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipglass available as well, which I am going back for now that I know how much I love this lipstick!

Thank you so much, you are very sweet. I used the Sephora Airbrush Mist Foundation. It is similar to the Dior AirFlash, but much cheaper. It sprays out of a can, but I spray it directly onto a makeup brush and then blend it in. I used NYX Cosmetics HD Finishing Powder to set that. I also always use my BECCA Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector in “Opal” to highlight my cheekbones, brow-bone, and down my nose for a glow. I hope that helps!
