As promised, here’s a more detailed entry on how my lips turned out this color in my recent self-portrait/s. I hurriedly put on MAC’s Hug Me Lustre lipstick and Smashbox’s Sweet lipgloss (from the Wicked Lovely collection) after I got home from dinner, so pardon the not-so-precise application. :)

I finally succumbed to MAC (!) and this is my first lipstick purchase from them (but I do have nude colors from Maybelline, Revlon and ModelCo). Did a little research before getting this since I’m partial to sheer, very natural colors, and I found out that first-time MAC lipstick buyers usually get this lipstick. Hug Me has a pretty flesh pink tone to it, and has the safe kind of color you’d want to wear to your wedding. While some people might not like this for its color and coverage, I personally think it’s awesome for daily use. Paired with Smashbox’s yummy lipgloss, you’ve got instant kissable lips. Final result resembles the the color of my bare (and boring) lips, but much much better. :)
