I definitely recommend exfoliating and prepping your lips prior to applying Whirl, but that’s a bit obvious when it comes to matte lip products. I absolutely love Whirl and think it’s a great, classic and timeless color. I can imagine that for many people, this will might a MLBB color, but not for me since I’m way too light. If you have a very light skin tone like myself, and want to try the 90’s lip trend (which still seems to be very much alive, which is awesome!) but can’t pull off those brownish colors, definitely checkout Whirl. My two other Matte favorites from MAC are Velvet Teddy and Kinda Sexy.I know you’ve seen this one coming.
MAC Matte Lipsticks in (from L-R) Velvet Teddy (old shade), Whirl (new), Instigator (new), Tropic Tonic (new) While they will all be permanent shades–and as such no real need for a rush, I knew I had to get at least a couple right away! Here are my picks! poor me did not stand a chance when MAC launched 22(!) all-matte shades this summer. I have quite a number of MAC mattes and for me nothing beats them in terms of value for money, shade variety and availability.
Swatches (from L-R): Velvet Teddy, Whirl, Tropic Tonic, Instigator Their matte texture’s also very reliable I know already what to expect-like a dear old friend, these MAC mattes are. There’s no rhyme or reason for my color selection, I actually just picked from the promo photos and descriptions. Velvet Teddy has been part of the permanent line long before but is not available in our local MAC stores. I actually got it because of my Kylie lip obsession but aside from that, this is such a pretty, versatile pinky nude. I usually use this with a lipliner but I’m surprised how natural it turned out here when worn without. This is my everyday lipstick at the moment! Out of the four, Whirl has got to be the color I’m most excited about. It’s such an intriguing color! Though described simply as “dirty rose”, I can’t quite place the deep yet muted, pinky yet browny shade. Mac lipstick velvet teddy and whirl skin#īut even before I can describe how it looks, I bet it’s going to look different on another skin tone anyway. I chose Instigator as I seem to lack a truly deep plum lipstick.not berry, not wine, but a true-bluey plum. This is exactly what I hoped it would be, a deep, purple color devoid of warm undertones. I also thought this would be hard to pull-off for casual wear but I wore it out recently and I didn’t feel too weird about it. One caveat though with super deep shades like this is how to get it to appear even-as you can see below, the color thins out on my mid-lower lip.
