Review of MAC Flat out Fabulous :
Flat out fabulous is one of those beautiful purple-magenta shades that flatters all skin tones undoubtedly, and since it has a blue undertone to it, it makes the teeth appear whiter. Belonging to the much-coveted retro matte range, Flat out fabulous sports incredible pigmentation and a no-sheen classic matte finish, but it does not look dead corpse matte, instead looks classy and is one my favourites from MAC.
The staying power of this is around 6 to 7 hours with snacking in between, but after a sumptuous meal, you would want to touch up. In summers it doesn’t dry out, but during winters these retro matte finishes end up giving you a really hard time. These Retro matte finish lipsticks, such as mac flatout fabulous tend to be drying but applying a lip balm 5 minutes prior to its application, takes away this problem. I am a pink lover myself and FLAT OUT FABULOUS is one of the most prized possessions in my collection. J
PROS and CONS of MAC Flat Out Fabulous :
PROS:
- Incredible pigmentation- all opaque in one swipe
- Super long wearing
- Unique pink-purple color (in aweeee)
- Doesn’t tend to flake or chap
- Yummy vanilla fragrance from MAC
- A shade that flatters all skin tones comfortably, without having to make any extra effort.
- The shade doesn’t settle into fine lines
- Even after the actual lipstick wears out it lives a pretty stain behind, which I absolutely love .
CONS:
- Seems to be drying/tugging during winters
- DRY lipped ladies will need exfoliation and prepping with lip balm prior to application
- The shade sells out so fast, it is almost impossible to get hold of it at the MAC store
- The continuously increasing MAC prices
Final Words :
Overall I would say , if you are able to find it at the store then sure get it. MAC Flat out Fabulous when paired with the MAC magenta lip liner, seem like a match made in heaven, they look ‘princessy’ together. A total must have in my opinion, it is as classic as a red lipstick is, and you can easily go out with this if you are afraid of reds like I am.
I hope you nuggets, like how I write, open to all suggestions, until next time feel beautiful as always <3
