Make Up For Ever Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick

Liquid matte lipstick is all the rage right now, and Make Up For Ever Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick nails the trend! These liquid lipsticks offer that modern multi-dimensional matte finish you crave, and the long-lasting wear time you need.

Make Up For Ever Artist Liquid Matte Swatches: 101, 103, 109, and 203 — Make Up For Ever Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick Swatches: 101, 103, 109, and 203

Make Up For Ever Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick is available in six different shades that I’d say fall solidly in the “neutral” family. Swatched above are four of them (from left to right): 101 Cream Beige– a pale beige with a hint of peach, 103 Warm Beige– a warm nutmeg, 109 Praline– a toasty reddish brown, and 203 Cold Pink– a medium cool-hued pink. Most notable about this product are two things. Firstly, they deliver incredible, intense color! You don’t need to worry about this product disappearing on your lips. Secondly, they feel incredible when you apply. The formula has an airy, whipped-cream feel to it that is positively weightless!

Retail price is $20 per tube. For more information you can surf on over to the Make Up For Ever website, or Click HERE to buy them from Sephora.

Upcoming Smashbox Coverage!

Since we are on the topic of Smashbox, I wanted to give you a sneak peek at a couple of future Raging Rouge posts: Smashbox Always On Gel Eye Liner ($18), and While ($21).

Smashbox Cosmetics Always On Eye Pencils, and Lid Primer — Smashbox Cosmetics Always On Eye Liner, and Lid Primer

While I adore makeup and collect it, when it comes to application I’m no pro! In particular, I’m a bit of an eye pencil spaz, so I love forgiving gel formulas like this line offered by Smashbox. The color is amazingly intense, and the product is smudge-able for a while after application, so you can smooth out any errors to perfection with a smudge brush. The brand boasts this product is tug-free, and I concur!

If Smashbox is anything, it is the pro of priming. Their lid primer creates the ideal canvas for your eyemakeup application, intensifies the color of your shadow, and helps it stay in place!

A closer look at both of these products is soon to come!

Retailers include Smashbox.com, Sephora, Macys.com, Nordstrom, and Ulta.

MAC Work It Out Collection

This 80s inspired packaging houses the MAC Work It Out Collection really brings back old memories for me. The checkered pattern on these boxes is the spitting image of the design my mirrored-lens, Wayfarer-inspired sunglasses in 1986. Those shades totally rocked.

Inside of that adorable packaging are an array of colors that will truly take you back, accompanied by some tried-and-true basic shades that you can wear all the time!

MAC In Extreme Dimension Mascara, Sweaty Betty

The best part of the MAC Work It Out collection is the huge selection of MAC In Extreme Dimension Mascara colors! They are available in a veritable rainbow of shades, including Sweaty Betty. This bright turquoise shade was a staple in the makeup collection of 14 year old Jen. Retail price is $19.50.
