I am no experts when it comes to applying makeup, after so many years of practicing on my brows, I still can't seem to get it right >.< gahhh totally envy those with nicely shaped brows!
Anyway, while I was deciding how to spend my Saturday, last week; I end up playing with makeup and I thought, why not do a Christmas wearable makeup look post?! ^^
Also I wanted to see how the MAC Rocky Horror Picture Show lipsticks look when applied on my lips, as I have only done a swatch on arm kind of post last time, pretty sure some of you are curious how it look on my NC25 skin tone? & plus, the MAC RHPS lipstick fit in with the Christmas theme so well!
So I came up with this easy and simple Christmas makeup look that is wearable for both days and night.

MAC OBLIVION
MAC Oblivion Lipstick is described as a Vivid Blush Red with an Amplified finish.
This is my top favourite from the MAC RHPS collection, the formula is very creamy, it's hydrating during wearing time and it applies so smoothly. Despite its creamy formula, it did not smudge and/or bleeds.
MAC Strange Journey Lipstick
MAC STRANGE JOUREY
MAC Strange Journey Lipstick is described as a Yellowish Brick Red with a Matte finish.
Also another of my favourite from the MAC RHPS collection, it looks more of a bright orangey red on me. Strange Journey glides on smoothly and evenly, the color pay off is amazing and the matte finish didn't dry out my lips. It was very comfortable while wearing this lipstick.
MAC FRANK-N-FURTER
MAC Frank-n-Furter Lipstick is described as a Deep Raspberry Wine with a Matte finish.
Frank-n-Furter is a beautiful deep wine red, its formula isn't that matte like it dries my lips, but it wasn't hydrating at all. I don't remember much of this lipstick, it obviously didn't impress me as much as it should haha ~ However, I like the full opaque coverage it gives!
MAC SIN
MAC Sin is described as a Deep Dark Blue Red with a Matte finish.
This is the worst I have ever tried... >.< The color pay off is good, the shade is gorgeous and really suits my dark lipstick moods lately; but the formula just sucks so bad! It pulls and drag my lips during application, it didn't apply evenly and oh, I am guessing this must be one of those old MAC matte finishes. It's just bad.

Thanks Sophia!
DeleteOh dear me Kay! This is beautiful and super appropriate for the festive time! I love the lashes, they are amazing on you and make your eyes pop! I prefer the first lip color more, I like that brightness a lot! Don't worry, usually no one has perfect brows without anything on! I find the trick that has worked for me is using a brow powder and outlining my brows before filling them in with the same brush and using a spoolie to brush through! :)
ReplyDeleteI am gonna have to try that! I used the cheap ELF brow kit and every time I brush the powder over it just makes my brows looks super wide! So I tried a few more powders and it did the same but not as worst until I tried the Anastasia Beverly Hill dipbrow pomade, it's like perfect!
DeleteYour makeup looks perfect and I like the different lip options :) Great post! x
