MAC Matte Lipstick - 628 Tropic Tonic For Women 0.1 oz Lipstick

Product Information

Okay, it does come in a creamy format, but it’s easier to apply, and lasts all day with translucent powder. What makes me qualified to embark on such a huge adventure, that of sharing everything I know about makeup? I would usually avoid something like Runway Hit (Retro Matte), and would rather go for See Sheer, warmer, deeper, and redder.

It’s part of the Retro Matte range, which means if you find Tropic Tonic drying, you’re going to find Runway Hit even more drying. But you can still go for something a bit pinker or redder, like On Hold or Forever Curious, and look banging with it.While Indian skin can literally be super light or super dark, I’d probably go for something redder like Pretty Boy (Cremesheen) or Forever Curious (Matte). I worked in both the MAC Cosmetics store in Paris on the Champs-Elysees and the MAC Pro store in Covent Garden (one of the best makeup stores in London, if you ask me). As I always say, you don’t get to work for MAC Cosmetics for well over a year without trying out each and every little makeup product that gets released. Based in NYC, Yanni Peña is a makeup artist specializing in editorial, beauty, runway, and red carpet looks. He has collaborated with photographers, such as Tyler Mitchell, Emmanuel Monsalve, Reto Schmid, Myesha Evon Gardner, and worked on numerous fashion shows, including Christopher John Rogers, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger. Also, a really pretty shade if you’re a redhead, by the way, and want to go full color with some really pretty light blue eyeshadow.

The shade depends on the result you want to achieve, honestly – you could literally wear Vegas Volt (Amplified) or Crosswires (Cremesheen) and make it work.

My favorite way to apply it is with one single layer; since On Hold is a Cremesheen, the texture is shiny, very balm-like, and easy to build up. If you have a light Asian skin tone, like most Chinese, Japanese or Korean people, I’d say go for something pink peach rather than full-on orange lips.
