Unless you are rooting for a pale-princess look, a rather pale looking lips wouldn't be too attractive. There are some however, who can get away with just dabbing on lip balm or lip gloss on their lips (sometimes tinted but mostly just clear) to avoid chapping or looking too dry and then they are all good to go. Yeah, they didn't even use it because they look pale or anything close to that. They use lip balm or lip gloss because their lips need moisturizing, not color. They have cherry red lips. Okay.
Sure sometimes we, pale-looking ladies, fit in when we purposely fix ourselves to look pale. You know, pale-looking makeup, not too heavy or dark and not exactly on the natural side of things, the kind ladies use during morning functions, an afternoon party of some sort.
But what about those other times when pale just couldn't cut it anymore? And we're not lucky enough to be just putting on lip balm or lip gloss like others. We have to put in a little more effort to put color on our beautiful lips. The solution? Lipstick. With the perfect shade, lipstick would give life and color to our lips.
Choose Longwearing Lipstick Like MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme
If those not-pale-looking ladies need pale shades to actually look pale, those
on the other side of things need actual color. Lively, vibrant colors to... well, give color to the lips. If you are not a lipstick wearer like me, you would probably wonder what lipstick is the best and you would get overwhelmed with the brands, the collections and the shades and you might, might, might end up with the wrong shade of lipstick, wrong type of lipstick or both.
About MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme
MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme would be the perfect choice especially if you are, let's say a "first-timer" when it comes to lipstick. It is a lipcreme which is highly pigment, has a rich and creamy finish and fairly lasts longer than other MAC lipsticks. You can wear it on top of of your lip balm or you can top it off with a clear lip gloss.
Here are some Pros:
• Long-lasting compared to other MAC lipsticks
• Easily glides on the lips
• Doesn't feather or "bleed" on the lips
• Creamy yet lightweight texture
• Has 12 different shades to choose from
• Can be worn with or without base and top coat
• Can easily be removed
and some Cons:
• Shades might seem ordinary or too common
• Application of lip gloss/top coat may be necessary to "prolong" the lipstick (although I think this can also be a pro because then you wouldn't need to re-do the whole lipstick, just a little "refresher")
