Mac Cult of Cherry


I love this collection. 
In particular the lipsticks are great, especially bing and kirsh (which may be completely sold out). And the lipglass jampacked is great.  You get the dark bruised lip which I love.

Tempting is my favorite eyeshadow quad. I love the bright green, Tempting. And the others blend nicely with it: Next to Nothing, Dark Edges, and Sharp. 

I've also recently discovered the wonderful liquidlast liner. This stuff really stays on you can sleep in it and wake up with it still intact..not that you would do that, but you could! I love the bright Greenplay (which goes nicely with the Tempting quad), and also Inkspill is a nice black with green shimmer. And Powerplum is a lighter metallic plum. I have all three!

I also discovered Fluidline. This doesn't stay on quite as well as the liquid last but it will certainly see you through the night even if you accidentally rub your eyes. It's easy to put on with the angle brush and get that 1950s dramatic liner look.

Of course to get this long lasting makeup off you need to get Gently off eye and lip makeup remover. Otherwise it will be on there for days. Make sure you shake it before using. I also like the Eye Wipes, but they won't get the liquidlast off without a lot of scrubbing. But they're nice and gentle for the rest of your makeup.

I've been a big fan of Studio Fix for  more than a decade. If you're going to be on camera this is the stuff you need, you won't shine or glare on screen. And it has good coverage to even out your skin without needing to use a foundation and a powder.

For those bad skin days I just use a little of the Select SPF 15 in dabs around the offending areas and then blend out the edges with your finger  and cover with Studio Fix. They make all the special concealers, but I find this easier to use for under eye darkness and red spots.
