Does the
name sound familiar? It’s MAC’s matte lipstick in Velvet Teddy. The name
invokes images of cute teddy bears with their soft fur. How did I end up here!
Anyway so after trying numerous bright coloured lippies I wanted another nude
shade. What I love about the MAC experience is that there is something for
everyone and if you are willing to spend time doing swatches you can find the
right one for you. This shade was chosen after trying on Twig, Cherish and some
more. Anybody knows how many permanent MAC lipsticks there are?
Honestly
the colour itself looks like I just applied concealer to my lips! I do feel it
washes me out a bit but when I paired it with a dramatic or dark eye the
overall look comes together nicely. When Velvet Teddy is compared to the other
nude colour MAC lipstick; Hug Me, it is slightly more pink toned but still a pretty
close dupe just without the sheen.
Since
Velvet Teddy is matte it does have a more drying effect on the lips and I
needed to exfoliate them before since it accentuated all the lines. I simply
pat the colour onto the lips instead of swiping.
In case
you wondering what I’m wearing on the eyes, it’s the WetNWild Petal Pusher
palette. I seem to be crazy about palettes lately. I guess it’s because my
handbag never has enough space so the individual shadows always get lost
somewhere.
Hope you
are having a great day! Any palettes you love lately or what is your favourite
nude lipstick?
Happy
Velvet Teddy!
XOXO

DeleteI love Maybelline's Totally Toffee lipstick. I feel like it's the perfect nude without washing me out or making me look dead. Velvet Teddy looks great on you, though! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for the suggestions Wendy! I'll try to find this one! A girl can never have enough nudes!
DeleteI luv the eye look you created with this palette, and the nude is a true nude on you, just wish you had broken the rules a bit, with a light hand of bronzer/contour but overall its a gorgeous look on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dawn! Hope you are doing great! Can you suggest a contour or bronzer colour for me? I'm not sure how to incorporate that into my routine yet! thanks alot
DeleteThe whole look is beautiful! I'm a huge fan of matte lips. They look so classy.
