Rihanna Unveils New MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick

Pucker up, pretty ladies, there's a new lipstick shade you need to know about!

Our favorite good girl gone bad, Rihanna has joined forces with MAC Cosmetics to unveil a fierce new collection that really speaks to her style and persona.

Take a peek at her first product launch, the RiRi Woo lipstick, a gorgeous deep red shade that was inspired by the brand's famous Ruby Woo shade she's famously known for wearing.

Not only is the sexy color seriously stunning on and off stage (she'll be wearing it throughout her Diamonds World Tour, FYI), but it's flattering on all skin tones, too.

Expect the same killer quality and sleek packaging as other MAC products, but this one comes with a cool bonus: RiRi's signature inscription on tube of lipstick.

Loves it!

The RiRi Woo lipstick retails for $16, and officially hits shelves May 4.

Celebrity Trend Alert: Deep Citrus Lips

Nude lips may be the makeup trend du jour — but Miley Cyrus, Solange and Bella Thorne are starting their spring with tangy tangerine pouts.

Even though nude lips were the beauty trend to beat during this year's awards season and on the Paris runways in February, nothing makes spring feel official quite like a bright tangerine lip. And though a color-saturated pucker isn't exactly a warm weather revelation, the look happens to feel extra modern at the moment because of spring's graphic black, white and neutral clothes that make the feisty cosmetic color pop especially hard.

Miley Cyrus paired her striped Chanel jumpsuit with blood-orange lips at a Ryan Seacrest Foundation event on March 22, while Solange performed the next day at the Diesel and Edun Studio Africa L.A. Launch Party in a softer citrus hue. Even redheaded actress Bella Thorne broke standard redhead rules by opting for orange lips, which provided a perfect accent to the white and navy Alice & Olivia dress she wore to The Host premiere on March 19.

While most complexions can pull off the look, remember that less is more — unless you want to look like a clown.
“Keep the rest of your makeup slightly defined, but not too done,” says celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh, who works with Ginnifer Goodwin, Chloe Grace Moretz, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Chastain. She swiped MAC's Morange lipstick across Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s pout at the AFI Fest in November. “With such a bright color, you want the lips to be the main focus and to make sure nothing else is competing with it.”

It may feel like an unconventional shade for black tie events, but orange works for formal occasions, too. Jessica Alba’s makeup artist used Hourglass Cosmetics Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Riviera on the actress to complement the melon-colored Oscar de la Renta gown she donned at the Golden Globes in January. The highly pigmented shade stood out despite sitting next to a $5 million Harry Winston diamond necklace strewn across Alba's neck.

Your Perfect Lipstick Shade by Skin Tone

Saw this inside a magazine, and just HAD to scan! :)


 

 If the magazine scan is hard to read, it says:

If you're fair: Fuschia

A cool pink warms up on fair skin and "gives such a pop of color to the face," says celebrity makeup artist Kim Baker. Bonus: It also electrifies light eyes.

Your best lipstick: Illamasqua lipstick in Eurydice, $24

If you're medium: Bubblegum Pink

You can really wear anything, but golden skin is particularly complemented by this girly shade. Feeling edgy? Try it with black eyeliner.

Your best lipstick: L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse by Colour Riche Luminous Lipcolour in Pink Vinyl, $10

If you're olive-skined: True Red

The saturated hue balances your slightly green undertones and adds just the right amount of vibrancy. For impact, try lip liner underneath.

Your best lipstick: Tom Ford Lip Color in Wild Ginger, $48

If you're darker skinned: Purple

Deep violent jumps on dark skin. "The more intense your complexion, the more intense the color needs to be", says makeup artist Sam Fine.

Your best lipstick: MAC Pro lipstick in Violetta, $15

Color: Stuck On You (Berry-Red with Gold Pearl [Frost])
Website Description:
A longwearing lip colour that applies in two quick steps. Stroke on the special formulated colour base. Flip the stick, and apply the clear gloss. Soft and comfortable on…Kiss, drink, eat. Smudge, run, transfer and feather-proof. Pro Longwear Lipcolour is best removed with Cleanse Off Oil.

Stuck on You is berry-red with some golden sheen.

Rating

This is my first time review any lip color from the Pro Longwear Lipcolour line and boy, am I impressed. It is the longest lasting lipcolour that I have experience. I was able to get about 14 hours from this product. Its funny because I really layered on because I thought it was like a lipgloss, however it is very quick drying, non-sticky, non-gooey (unless you apply the shine), and the color last for hours. I was able to eat, drink tea, and not worry if I need to reapply. After half an hour, your lips feel like they are wearing a lipstick. The clear lipshine you will have to reapply about every 2 hours, but the lipcolour needs no application for hours.

Pro: Extremely Long Lasting
Con: Can be very drying (may cause your lips to crack if you have dry lips).

PRICE: Moderate
EASE OF APPLICATION: EASY-MODERATE (Avoid applying to skin, as it will stain)
Coverage: 8 hours plus! (Can get a full day with 2 coat application)

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme Perpetual Flame Lipstick Review

I finally bought myself a brand new MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Perpetual Flame and this is a very long lasting lipstick!


  Perpetual Flame is a rich, fuchsia raspberry. The closest permanent shade would be Impassioned (without the iridescent fuchsia sheen), but it’s not too similar.  It is a deeper red and more of a raspberry color. It’s not as bright as Prolong. This is a cream finish. Pictures I took!
