Boldly Bare Lip Liner
MAC Boldly Bare Dupes Here are our dupes for MAC Boldly Bare, which is a very warm-toned, light-medium coral with a matte finish. It is a permanent lip liner that retails for $17.50 and contains 0.05 oz. Boldly Bare Lip Pencil is described as a 'dirty red brown.' It's a muted, light-medium peach-brown with a matte finish. It lasts for six and a half hours, but it can be hard to apply all-over the lips. It gets a little tacky while it is drying down, so take care not to press lips together initially. MAC Boldly Bare Lip liner. Using a lip liner is an absolute must for me when it comes to wearing lipstick as not only does it create the perfect neat outline, it.
I’ve decided to write this post as I am regularly asked what colour lipstick I am wearing. Chances are, 90% of the time, I’m wearing a MAC colour. I love the formula of MAC lipsticks.
It was difficult to whittle down just five favourites, but I think I’ve narrowed a selection of colours down pretty well. I am a nude lip lover, but I do like to branch out to more daring colours every once in a while.
I thought showing the lipsticks on my lips would be more useful to you then just a swatch. For reference, I am wearing a MAC NC42 foundation in the pictures. All lipsticks will look unique on different skin complexions.
My five favourite MAC lipsticks are;
Kinda Sexy
This was the first MAC lipstick I ever purchased six or seven years ago after seeing it mentioned in a You Tube tutorial. It is the perfect neutral, pinky-rose toned nude, which compliments my olive skin complexion, whether I am fairer skinned or tanned. It is a matte shade, however, not drying in the slightest, long-wearing and easy to apply. I like to pair Kinda Sexy with MAC’s Boldly Bare lip liner, which I find are a good match for each other.
Velvet Teddy
This is a perfect, wearable deep-tone beige shade with a matte finish. Although it is a matte lipstick, it does have a subtle sheen when first applied. The lipstick applies evenly with a nice colour pay off, even without a lip liner. I think Velvet Teddy is a more universal nude than Kinda Sexy, as it is complimentary of a larger range of skin complexions. It also looks different on literally everybody. I pair Velvet Teddy with MAC’s Boldly Bare lip liner, which I find lightens the lipstick up a little, but is a good match.
Please Me
This is a muted-rosy-tinted pink, matte finish lipstick. Ok, so, on it’s own, it is quite a scary shade for my skin complexion. Without a lip liner, it looks an unflattering barbie-ish pink colour, however, when paired with MAC’s Boldy Bare lip liner, it transforms into the wearable pinky-nude shade that you can see in the picture. Though, I do think it would suit lighter skin tones as it is. Please Me applies smoothly, with good colour payoff, however, wearing a lip liner is a must as it can tend to sit in the natural lines of the lips.
MAC Red
This is a vivid blush-red shade which provides a semi-matte finish, giving a gorgeous sheen once on the lips. In the winter it looks striking with neutral, contoured face make-up and in summer, really compliments a glowy, bronzed look. This lipstick glides on the lips effortlessly, with or without a lip liner, though I do pair it with MAC’s Redd lip liner to intensify the colour and to prolong the longevity. MAC Red isn’t as popular as Ruby Woo, which I find is VERY drying and requires a lot of prepping prior to, and maintenance once worn.
Sin
This is a deep, dark, burgundy red shade, with a matte finish. It took a long time for me to actually be brave enough to wear this outside the house, though, once I did, I received so many unexpected compliments. This shade is very universal; a bold lip on lighter skin tones, but a more neutral, wearable shade on deeper skin tones. This lipstick is quite drying so needs a lip balm (my favourite is Carmex) applied underneath. I feel Sin can be worn without a lip liner as the colour pay off is amazing and applies so evenly. When I do wear one, I pair Sin with Mac’s Dark Out Pro Longwear lip liner.
