MAC Fanfare Lipstick Review.

Hey Guys!

Today's review is going to be on a MAC lipstick called 'Fanfare' this lipstick was my first lipstick from MAC that I got *I think..maybe my memory has gone to coo-coo land though!* but for some reason I've been neglecting it..until recently when I wore it on a whim and remember now why I like this lipstick so much.

Fanfare is a lovely deep pink lipstick with slight hints on yellow undertones. Being a cream sheen finish the lipstick is prone to give moisture, high pigmentation and shine, I can definitely say that all these three boxes are ticked, when I apply Fanfare and rub my lips together they feel moisturised..almost like a lip balm but not to as much extent of one. As for the pigmentation this bad boy is packed with it, I only have to apply one coat of this for my average everyday wear which is good as it means more lipstick for me! The shine of Fanfare is not too overpowering, not enough to look like a lip gloss but enough to catch light and bounce it's shine off which to my surprise is quite flattering on.

As for how wearable this lipstick is, I would have so say it does a excellent job of being versatile, I think Fanfare looks good paired with a gold/brown smokey eye, something else I would say about Fanfare is because it is a pink toned lipstick it is more wearable in the Spring/Summer months, however saying this due to it's more deep colouring I wouldn't write it off for the colder months. Fanfare wears well, a good few hours before I usually re-apply, lately I have been wearing the lipstick with a nude lip liner and find that the pink stays on better with it under. Something I like about this lipstick in particular is how build-able it is, it can be used to create a lovely mid-deep pink lip or be built upon to make a bolder deep pink lip.

Packaging wise, it is the standard MAC black packaging which is very familiar to every blogger I'm sure, therefore I find no faults in the slender and simple packaging, it is very appealing to all people I find. Priced at £14 for Fanfare, or in fact any MAC lipstick this is a decent price for a high end brand, when compared to Nars lipsticks priced at £17.50 a go, even though there is not much difference the saying 'Every penny counts' comes to mind!

Overall I love this lipstick, I can't quite believe that I neglected it as there is nothing wrong with it at all...oh well all is good now. If you are on the slightly paler end of the skin tone scale or have green eyes I would recommend you check this out as it compliments very nicely, saying that I can't see this lipstick looking particularly unflattering on anyone to be honest, I find no faults in Fanfare and I am happy that I got this lipstick!

Have a lovely week, and if you haven't enter my give away then do so here there is not long left now to enter!
