Ever since my lipstick addiction started in 2007, MAC lipsticks have been my go-to for a pretty pout. I love how they come in all sorts of colors and finishes (perfect for experimenting!) and are super affordable at just $14.50. See my top 5 must-have MAC lipsticks from the permanent line after the jump!
#1 Girl About Town
One of my very first bright lipsticks, Girl About Town is a gorgeous bright fuchsia in the Amplified formula. Love the creamy, non-drying texture and the contrasts it adds to my dark hair.
#2 Russian Red
There is a reason why this matte blue-based red is loved by many, including Dita Von Teese and Christina Aguilera. Not only does the classic red adds instant glamour, its cool undertones can also help make your teeth appear whiter.
#3 Creme D’Nude
Thanks to its pink undertones, this “pale muted peach beige” in the Cremesheen formula is great for a no-brainer nude lip without washing me out.
#4 Modesty
The secret behind that my-lips-but-better look in my profile picture? Modesty, a warm neutral with pink undertones in the Cremesheen formula.
#5 Saint Germain
Every girl should own a barbie pink lipstick and Saint Germain is my favorite from MAC’s permanent range. The cool-based “clean pastel pink” color in the Amplified formula goes on super pigmented so all you need is a few dabs to turn heads.
Are you a fan of MAC lipsticks too? What are some of YOUR favorites?
MAC Lipstick is available at MAC counters, www.maccosmetics.com and Nordstrom for $14.50.

Thank you so much for doing this
I love those lipstick colors on you. I love Creme D’ Nude too. I will check out Modesty, it looks like a very nice and natural color.

You’re very welcome
I’m sure you will love Modesty – it’s a foolproof color on pretty much anyone.

I love how these lipsticks give you totally different looks!

Thanks and that’s the beauty of lipsticks. You can do SO much with so little.

Modesty- I like. It’s now on my get-from-MAC-next-time-I’m-there list. Thanks!
Chatterbox is one of my everyday go-to’s.
Lickable for when I’m feeling fiesty, it looks very similar to Girl About Town.

Chatterbox is nice too!

I love Modesty on you, I think I might check it out myself. Thanks for this post!

No problem =)

I love every single shade on you. My favourite one is Modesty though. It’s now going on my “to buy list”.

Thanks Farida!

I like modesty on you(or maybe I just like that FOTD the best). I only own 3 mac lipsticks (crosswire, ever hip and freckletone)so it’s silly to pick a favorite out of the three…
