Candy Yum Yum is one of the best pick-me-uppers lippie that every Barbie-loving girls should have. It is described as a very bright (neon), blue-based pink matte lipstick that smells of vanilla (MAC lipsticks' signature scent) which makes it really YUM YUM!
Candy Yum Yum was originally launched as part of a limited edition collection but was eventually made permanent due to its popularity and demand.
Although it can be a little intimidating for the conservative or shy types, it is actually very wearable so don't be afraid to at least try it at the MAC counters.
I discovered that there are actually 2 ways to wear it depending on one's mood or personality. One is to apply it thickly, straight from the tube to give you a bright, full-on neon glow that will surely make you stand out in a crowd if you're in the girls-just-wanna-have-fun mood. Second is to apply it lightly using a lip brush to give you a more subtle, bubble gum-girly girl pink that is more suitable for daytime and more appropriate for school or work..
- Color is very vivid. You can wear it with a bare face and your face will instantly brighten up.
- It is a fun color that will surely grab everyone's attention. If you're not the shy type, then this is the perfect lipstick for you!
- It's versatile as you can wear it very bright or subdued depending on your mood or the occasion.
- It's extremely long lasting and can withstand eating and drinking. In fact, even when you rub it off, it will still leave a nice stain on your lips.
- Application is smooth and glides on easily.
- Suits most skin colors.
- Matte finish lippies can be very drying so it's not very flattering if you have dry lips as it accentuates the lines and the dry patches.
- If your skin is cool-toned, it can make your teeth look yellowish unless they're bleached white.
FINAL VERDICT:Every girl needs a fun, bright lippie on their purse so I say grab a tube coz YOLO!
