“I’m very well known for dresses, no? And I thought it was very nice, the idea of dressing your lips… For a creative person, collaborating can be frustrating because you feel that you’re limited or stuck within someone else’s ideas, but with MAC it was 100 percent freedom and 100 percent support just to make my idea become a reality, to pull out my flowers and my sense and my emotion and put it into the color.”
Well, we are totally stoked about this collection and can’t wait to try out the various tints and shades. Colors in the M.A.C. Giambattista collection range from very light pinks to deep purples and plums. Therefore, what type of lady would this collection work for the most?
Giambattista Valli dished,
“The best thing about makeup is that a lipstick can really change your look. If you never wear color on your lips and then one day you wear red, everyone just goes ‘wow! I made these for a woman with personality, a woman who lives her life and isn’t afraid to wear color and isn’t afraid to kiss!”

Nude lips are basically a makeup look where the lip shade matches your skin tone. The key is to find a tint that makes lips appear nude or blends seamlessly with your skin color without having the lips go missing from the face. You still want your lips to look like they are there, it is just a more toned down or muted lip look.
There are some who believe darker skin tones cannot wear a nude lip, but regardless of your skin shade always remember that nude lips will not look right if you do not find the right color. In my own beauty escapades it took quite a few attempts in order to find a shade that I liked. For me, mixing browns also helped me to achieve the look that I felt came across “nude.” Here is how I achieve this look:
1. Exfoliation: Dry, flaky lips will be VERY visible with this look so be sure to use a toothbrush to gently massage away any dead skin.
2. Lip Liner: I like to line my lips with a brown pencil that is a shade or two darker than than the lip color I plan to use. The liner not only keeps my lip color from running away, but the contrast of light and dark makes my lips really pop.
3. Fill Em’ In: I use a brown lip pencil or even brown eye liner to fill my lips in so that the lipstick will have a good base to adhere to and stay put. Yes, I have many brown eyeliner pencils that I use for my lips, cheeks or you name it. I find some products work in a multi-purpose way so why reinvent the wheel especially if the color looks great on you?
4. Color: Apply the lipstick or lip color you feel matches your skin tone best making sure the color extends even to the corners of the mouth. The nude effect will only look natural if all areas are matching your skin.
5. Shine Like a Diamond: If your lip shade is not specially formulated to add lustrous shine a simple swipe of lip gloss will do the trick.

Increase those smooches ladies and make your lips one sexy attraction! From exfoliation to application of products here are a few tips to make your lips gorgeous.
1. Use a damp cloth nightly to smooth and buff off flaky dry skin and seal the deal with a coat of lip balm.
2. Keep your cute lipstick from bleeding by patting on a tiny bit of concealer around your lips.
3. Make lip color “ever-lasting” by waiting a few minutes after application to blot with a tissue. After the lip color has set and been blotted dust lips with powder and apply another coat of color.
Beauty Quickie: Get a softer pucker by combining olive oil and sugar in a small cup or container. Add enough sugar to the oil so that the consistency resembles a skin scrub that you would normally purchase from the beauty aisle. Lastly, add 3-4 drops of peppermint oil to the mixture then blend well. Apply this scrub to your lips to remove any dead skin or rough areas that need to be smoothed. To remove you may rinse or lick off this edible lip scrub once you are done ex-foliating.
