My actual first nude I bought was Jubilee but when I got home and tried it on properly, I felt that it drained the life out of my complexion (not literally). Back when it was all about nude lips, and despite loving that clean simple lip paired with a heavy smokey eye, I really struggled to find a nude that didn’t make me look like an extra from the Walking Dead. Mac Modesty (Cremesheen) is a neutral toned, muted pink and is my kind of nude lipstick. It’s my “play it safe” shade and everyone needs one in their lipstick collection. This is the perfect shade for days where I don’t want to think too much about my makeup because against my complexion, it’s a very natural, lip-enhancing colour nothing bold, nothing fancy. Mac Twig (Satin) is the latest addition to my collection and described as a “soft, muted brownish pink” which sums it down to a T. So ok, it’s not the biggest collection but I like to think that it’s a collection that has had a lot of thought put into it, has a representation for each colour group and one that caters for most occasions. Well I couldn’t do a Mac eye shadow post and not give a nod to my collection of Mac lipsticks, that would have just been rude. Mac Lipstick Collection Mac Lipstick Collection
