I always seem to find myself swaying towards MAC lipsticks when looking for a new statement shade or every day go to, I'm pretty sure it's because of the wide selection of colours and textures but also I think for the quality they really are reasonable in price too.
I remember when I was 16 years old, going to Brighton and buying myself my first MAC lipstick, I was so excited to get it home and wear it. I even kept it in the packaging for months to make sure it stayed nice. I believe the shade I brought was Lady Danger a gorgeous orangey red, in fact I still have it in my kit now!
After that one lipstick I was hooked, don't get me wrong I do love lots of other brands but me and MAC have a long term serious relationship going on and after my course at London College of Fashion I grew even fonder of the brand as they sponsored it.
I know bad as it is, I probably buy more like two a month now... and I have over 50 shades in my kit, my excuse is 'Hey it's my job!'
But guys I've managed to whittle down them all to 5 really beautiful shades that I think are great investments into your makeup bag this summer!
Costa Chic
Ohhhh those coral, peachy tones that I'm such a sucker for. It wouldn't be right to create a Summer musts haves without including this little beauty. It really is a pretty shade and although it bright it's still lovely and soft and looks great on all skin tones!
Shy Girl
I honestly think this one of my favourite shades of all time, It would make it into my top 5 colours for sure. It's such a gorgeous subtle day shade and works well with any makeup look, the only thing is it's creme sheen so you will need to keep topping it up during the day girls.
Candy Yum-Yum
Wow, if your looking for a show stopper and that statement pop of colour this baby is for you, every time I wear this shade everyone asks me where it's from. It's definitely an attention grabber and it's not for the scared of make up kind, but if your a bold lip lover you must try it out!
Creme de'nude
Every girl needs a nude in her make up bag especially as its so 'in' this season and it looks soooo great with a tan! This is for the 'no makeup, makeup' look and the my lips but better look. This is my second one in the last year I use it that much, it also it great to apply over a matte lipstick to add some moisture.
Relentlessly Red
Red lips aren't just for Christmas you know! This isn't just an ordinary red either, with its vibrant pink tone it makes it very flattering with blonde's or brunettes and its also matte... red lips always look better when they are matte, just add some mascara, bronze those cheeks and your summer night ready!
Right, now all we need is some sunshine! I'm ready for summer like you wouldn't believe.
