With any matte lipstick it's about lip prep too, so make sure your lips are nice and moisturised prior to any lipstick application. Everyone should own at least one nude shade, a bright and a classic red to cater for every look and occasion.

The bullet also deposits a lot of pigment and does not require me to keep swiping and swiping just to get an even application. The downside to this though is that they can look very cakey especially the Tropic Tonic I have been struggling with this shade a little, it doesn’t last long on the lips but where you need to apply more it can look a little thick, instead I have since been dabbing this onto the lips to get the colour transfer but not applying it fully, like I want to.If you’re not sure what colour to go for, scroll through our gallery of all colours photographed on each skin tone: light, medium and dark.

I wonder how similar it is with Chanel La Petillante (from the spring 2015 collection)… if it’s not similar at all, it’s coming home with me! This is the iconic product that made MAC famous – now in a convenient mini size perfect for on the go.

Gliding effortlessly onto lips, it delivers unmistakable and long-wearing colour that can be used to shade, contour and plump the appearance of your smooch.
