Matte is the word for Fall, as in matte lipsticks and shadows. But don’t expect the cakey ’90s version, matte for the new millenium is a soft shimmering glow. I just got the Mac mattene lipsticks and shadows from the new collection and am wearing the lipstick as I type and it feels velvety and smooth. I am a lip gloss addict so I put a layer of sheer gloss over it and the result is gorgeous and subtle! As per usual, there are a dozen shades to choose from but here are my favorites:

Mattene Lipstick-

Flattering: a beautiful semi matte beige-pink shade that complements the season’s smoky eye.

Classic Dame: A true red to dress up that LBD.

Lipsticks will be available after October 4th! At MACcosmetics.com

The micronized base acts as a binder to help adhere to the skin leaving and incredible creamy feel. This ensures even and smooth application with little dusting or flyaways.
