I’ve never been a big lustre fan but I was watching an old Essie Button video recently where she reeled off her top 10 favourites from the MAC lipstick line and they were almost all that finish.. I decided I needed to try some more. I took a couple of her suggestions and I have to say, I wouldn’t necessarily have chosen them having seen them on the stand but I like them both on.
High Tea looks golden in the bullet and I wouldn’t have gone anywhere near it but I do like it, it’s different to anything else I own (because, as I said I wouldn’t normally have chosen it) and it gives only a hint of colour.. though this will obviously vary depending on how pigmented your lips are. It’s something I will wear in place of a more opaque nude when I’m sporting more dramatic eyes.
Lovelorn is much more my colour. I dont know how but it brings out colour in my face that High Tea seems to zap completely. I love my bright pinks but find mid tones more difficult to work with as they’re often either too warm or too cool.. I don’t love peach on my and I’m not cool enough toned to wear the likes of St Germaine – I swear I’d look like a drag queen – but this is just right for those not so loud lipstick moments.
My little dalliance with lustres hasn’t left me desperate to try more, I can’t lie. I don’t love them, they’re a little patchy on my not so perfectly smooth lips and I definitely prefer the Cremesheen variety but I do like the sheer look and one of my favourites, Plumful is a lustre so y’know.. y’never’know. Recommendations welcome!

I’m not sure sure that High Tea would suit me, but Lovelorn is absolutely stunning :o) Xx

I really want Pink Plaid – it looks like such a wearable pink but I don’t own any MAC lipsticks yet! Will definately check out High Tea on the stand when I go.

For me, I feel the High Tea….brings more attention to your eyes (warmer) whilst the Lovelorn distracts attention from your eyes …and is too pink….but we all have our likes/dislikes…and preferences…;))

I love the Lovelorn, may have to purchase this for myself. A really lovely coral I would recommend is my new purchase from MAC which is called “Costa chic” which is a frost it’s a lovely pale orangey coral. But my most favourite of all time which I wear to death at work and out and about is “sunny Seoul” which is a cream sheen it’s more of a pinkey coral and I’ve had so many compliments when I wear it, it seems to brighten up my face as I’m really fair and only corals really suit me. Hopefully you give either one a go, I’d loved to read what you think 😀 xx
I am loving that pink on you! You look absolutely stunning!
The pink one looks really good on you!
Lovelorn is my all time fave MAC lipstick! Speed Dial and Sunny Seoul are also really pretty 🙂 xx
Lovelorn is beautiful – I have a real love/hate relationship with how many different shades of mac lipsticks I end up lusting after from beauty blogs!

My very first MAC product was bought for me when my daughter was working in the Bahamas…and it was Lovelorn!!! I kind of wondered why she had gone for that colour…as it wasn’t ‘me’ and I generally only wear nudes! But I really think it’s one of those ‘all rounder’ shades. I wore it out pretty quickly, as with all MAC lipsticks I’ve had since…but I think I need to re-visit this shade, it’s lovely on you Khila and I need to branch away from the nudes again!!!
Lovelorn is my fav, such a stunning shade!
