MAC

Also, pretty crazy that a professional MYA didn’t have basic red lippies like MAC Ruby Woo.

You can try it and see if you have any breakouts after the expiration date. But also I am still using my Velvet Teddy lipstick which I bought in 2018 lol

I just hope they don’t ever change the lipglass formula! I’m so sick of these watery glosses that last 30 seconds

i wouldn't do Ruby Woo. I know i know, its everyone's fave. But i really think "Dare You" by Mac would be better for your skin tone. Keep the eyes classic and soft, make the lips bold and a half updo could be really beautiful. Less bronzer on the cheeks, its toooooo dark. A lighter shade with some rosey blush might soften the overall look. You are gorgeous. congrats on your wedding!

I remember the heady days when MAC wouldn’t pay for advertising (except for their tax write off AIDS fund). Those days are long gone. It was round about the time they started letting their products be tested on animals in order to expand their market in the far East - which happened in early 2012. 

Russian Red is also colder than Ruby Woo, and a little brighter than Dare You. I have similar coloring to OP and often use Russian Red instead.

NARS and MAC are makeup staples for me and a lot of people I know. They aren't going anywhere.

Ruby Woo by Mac is blue toned. That’s my favourite and only red lipstick I wear.

I’d love to be! I love MAC and never lie about their products. Sometimes they miss but when they nail it… it’s magical !

I love giving awards for finished MAC products. The commitment! Brava.

not stupid at all! it’s quite hydrating and it does give a really nice shine, but i wouldn’t replace moisturizer for it as a base, because without it i tend to lose the glow throughout the day (i also have the super dry skin + dry environment combo lol). you can use a less heavy duty moisturizer in conjecture w the cream and i think it’d look great!

I tried the new MAC Studio Fix Powder Fdoundation and it does suck. I'm an oily mess with large pores with it. It's nothing like the old version. It shouldn't even have the same name. I'm so sad about this because it was the only powder foundation I liked and now it's ruined.

MAC Paint Pot in Groundwork- I use this nearly every day. I’ve used other colours of paint pots and this one, for some reason, has the best formula and the colour works as a soft shade and as a good base for other eyeshadows. MAC eyeliner in Teddy- I’ve tried a million other brown/bronzy eyeliners and this one is always the best one. I’ve gone through so many! Phytosurgence blush in [Condensate](https://www.phytosurgence.com/product-page/skin-spark-the-toasted-blushes)- this blush is the most magical muted cool colour and I don’t think I could find a match for it. It goes on almost greyish/purple but mellows out into a natural blush that is incredibly flattering.

MAC studio fix powder plus foundation is the best makeup item ever created, even above sliced bread!

All of Mac’s old school products. Specifically the liquid foundation, creme to powder foundation, paintpot concealer, iridescent eyeshadows, frost lipstick, body foundation, and lipglass. Very sad to see this brand cheap out and be on the verge of a slow sad death.
