I'm a lover of a red or dark lip which is why I only have two nude's in here. Mac Rubywoo is my all time favorite matte red lipstick. I have so many good memories associated with it (It was my first mac purchase when I started my blog five years ago!) but it also has a great consistency, pigment and lasts for ages without making my lips dryer than a camel's tongue in the sahara desert.
For something with a creamsheen finish, I went for a brown red called 'Dare You'. This has a really glossy finish and is perfect for a modern Hollywood style look. Don't wear it if you're eating though #messy.
Moving on to the purple shade which is 'Rebel'. I've worn this more times that I can count over the festive season and I love it's finish. It is a 'satin' product which means it has a semi matte finish. This layers really well too, so re-applying after a cocktail or two won't be a problem.
Finally is Mac Snob. This is a light neutral pink with a satin finish (semi matte). This is the easiest of all five shades to wear. I don't even need a mirror to apply it, it's an effortless product which glides on with no fuss. It is borderline Barbie pink, but feels more nude when used lightly.
I have a few more shades that I like but just didn't make the cut for my top 5! What Mac Lipsticks would make their way to the top of your list?
