Amplified Creme Lipstick Brick-O-La

Swatched on bare NC15 skin in indirect natural light. I wanted to compare my pre and post-reformulation Mac lipsticks, especially as I redeemed my points at the end of last year for some minis to make this comparison.

I also have quite a few fall shades from the velvet blur line, like Sweet Cinnamon, Nutmeg Ganache and Pumpkin Spiced (and now that I look through the line, it

So I’ve just found out I’m a soft autumn (on the warmer side) and I went down this same rabbit hole. I’m not opposed to buying high end makeup, but this is what I’m currently using and I have added a lot of Revlon lipsticks to my stash Lisa Eldridge Velvet Muse lipstick and Muse lipliner (ordered fr
