Get gold and red holiday lips in three easy steps!

Red lips are big for the holidays but what's even bigger?  Red and gold lips!  Yes, gold sparkles on red lips are super awesome.

So today I wanted to show you a quick FOTD using three products:

Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in Perfect Red

MAC Mattene in Eden Rouge

L'Oreal Infallible Le Gloss in The Muse's Shine

Ok, let's get started!  Start with bare, clean lips.

Next, line your lips with the lipliner.

Next, use the mattene to fill in your lips.

Finally, add that super awesome gloss on top.

Voila!  Now you have a super awesome lip look to wear to all your holiday parties.

The great thing is you can pair sparkly red lips with almost any eye look:  black smokey, black cat-eye, shimmery gold, or nude matte.  I used a beautiful gold on the lid and a darkened gold in the crease (Urban Decay Half Baked and Urban Decay Smog).

Of course, this is a really subdued eye look but I would amp is up for night-time gatherings.

Semi-matte red lips look classic with MAC Eden Rouge

So, after I fell head over heels in love with MAC Fashion Nomad I convinced myself that I needed Eden Rouge.  (It's limited edition!)  

This is part of the MAC StyleSeeker collection, which you can still find on MAC's website.  Unfortunately, it seems like most of the colors are sold out so you might want to check your local MAC counter.

Please forgive me for being a bad beauty blogger and forgetting to save my box!  I just tore into it and now I can't find the box anymore.  But I promise it looks just like the Fashion Nomad box! ;-)

MAC describes Eden Rouge as "bright, blue-red" which I think is a very fitting description.  This is a nice, true red.

I lined my lips with Too Faced Perfect Lips Lipliner in Perfect Red which I plan to review ASAP!

Gorgeous!  I love the beautiful, semi-matte finish.  I think it makes my lips look pouty and full.  Plus, red is SO classic.  I think a lot of reds end up looking cheap but this one is really great and looks elegant.  

I find that it has the same great wear that Fashion Nomad provides but does tend to slip around a wee bit more.  Lining lips is really essential for this one.

You need it!  Now if I can just find Camden Chic my life will be complete!  Lol!

XOXO

I'm seeking bright orange lips with MAC StyleSeeker!

Have you seen any of the new MAC StyleSeeker collection?  I'm in love with the mattene lipsticks and lipglasses.  

  

I've only picked up one of the mattenes because I didn't know what the formula would be.  Now that I've tried this one, I'm so tempted to order two more colors!

I grabbed Fashion Nomad, which MAC describes as "bright red orange."  That is definitely a good description!

The other colors I'd like to have are Eden Rouge (bright blue-red) and Camden Chic (rich brick red).

Eek!  It's just too wonderful for words!  The mattene lipsticks are supposed to give you a semi-matte finish and be very hydrating.  

When I hear "matte" I immediately think drying; however, these glide on easily and stay moisturizing the entire wear-time.  Fashion Nomad lasts about four-five hours on me, which is remarkable!

These are $15 for 0.08 ounces, which is slightly smaller than a regular MAC lipstick (0.1 oz).  Plus, the mattenes are not part of the permanent collection, so you might want to snap them up now!
  

I seriously love this color and this formula.  I can't even begin to describe how great they are!  Long-lasting, moisturizing, colorful -- what more could you want?!

This gets my serious approval!  A+!  You can pick up one for yourself on MAC's website HERE.

XOXO
