I hit my local MAC counter today, and one of the makeup artists was wearing the most gorgeous deep orange shade on her lips. I asked her what shade she had selected and she said “The orange shade from the new makeup collection.” I replied, “Sail la Vie!” I think she was impressed…
MAC Sail La Vie is the “New Red” for 2012
Yes, the shade she was wearing was Sail La Vie, swatched above, and it would look simply divine on everyone of any skintone. Sail La Vie is a deep orange with a satin finish, and since orange is clearly the “new red” for 2012, it’s my duty to point out that Sail La Vie is an easy orange to pull off. It’s not neon or too vivid. The shade is bright, but in an elegant and understated way. If you’ve been dying to try an orange lip, MAC Sail La Vie is a great way to embrace the trend.
Sail La Vie is a limited edition shade, part of the MAC Hey, Sailor! collection. Retail price is $15.50.
