Next up in my lipstick series is Mac Our Pick. Now this has long since been discontinued, but I blinkin' well love this colour, so I will have to include it here. It is a a taupe with a grey undertone and was a limited edition from Macs satin range.
Now if I apply this directly from the tube it looks a bit wrong and way too unnatural and heavy, making me look almost dead in fact. Instead, I apply it from the tube lightly and work it into my lips with my finger so it ends up looking more like a stain. It ends up looking so beautiful, a perfect nude/taupe shade on my lips. I think it looks incredibly understated and chic.
I really wish Mac would make this colour part of the permanent collection. I haven't found another shade out there that comes close. Well not yet anyway.
Here I am wearing Mac Our Pick Lipstick paired with Mac Smoke & Diamonds and Satin Taupe eyeshadows, which I think work wonderfully together......
If anyone out there knows a dupe of this gorgeous shade, would you please spill the beans? I'm all ears!
ah this looked so good and then you had to say discontinued! :) its not a dupe but this kind of reminds me of velvet teddy, that Estée seems to love! she did a post on it http://www.essiebutton.com/2012/03/new-lipstick-mac-velvet-teddy-matte.html

That's fab indeed! check it out soon!
ReplyDelete@Sophie, Yeah, Velvet Teddy does look similar but it appears to have more of a pink undertone, whereas Our Pink has a grey undertone. i may have to check velvet Teddy out now though as it does seem right up my street. x
ReplyDelete@C.A.R & Makijaz Szajnar.pl, Thank You x
That is gorgeous on you, you are lucky that your colouring makes so many different colours work on you.
ReplyDeleteYou do have beautiful coloring.
ReplyDeleteI think Urban Decay pencil in Watermelon is close, no? It may be a bit less grey as well.
Oops ,not Watermelon, Wallflower is the name ... very similar. .. or their Naked... maybe more so actually.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think you should do a Look Book of at least some of the different looks you've achieved.. really quite great and different than other blogs you see..
ReplyDelete@ihavemostlybeen, Thank you x
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, Thanks so much! I'll have to check Wallfower out. I'll also keep in mind your Look Book idea. Thanks for the suggestion. x
