#42 MAC Brave Red Lipstick Review
I bought this lipstick back in December but I’ve only worn it twice, once back in December on a night out and the second time was today! After wearing it to simply go to the supermarket (my life is that glamorous, the joys of being a mother) I have decided I am in love!
It’s called Brave Red with a cremesheen finish which is one of my favourite finishes in MAC lipstick however on the website it doesn’t look a nice colour at all and is described as a red-yellow! If I had been ordering offline I’d of never given it a second look, but I bought it from a MAC counter so I was able to check it on my hand. I love the cremesheen finish because it has really good coverage and a nice shine so I needn’t both with a sticky lipgloss over the top.
Brave Red has to be one of my favourite red lipsticks I have ever purchased as although it is bright, it doesn’t make me look too washed out (as I am naturally very fair). Like all MAC lipsticks it’s genuinely long wearing, it survived some brie on toast and a cup of tea which is important for me as I always forget to reapply.
I’ll definitely be wearing this a whole lot more, along with my other lipsticks!

Beautiful colour on you! It looks lovely. I really wish I could find a shade of lipstick that suited me, but I’m a bit of a lipstick chicken. Must be braver, must be braver!

Oooh, what a lovely colour. Really suits you! I have a bright red mac lipstick I like to use on nights out but I need something more wearable for day- to- day use. This one looks amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙂 xx

Thank you! It’s been so difficult to get a red that doesn’t clash with my hair because it’s slightly red but it’s great to know this one looks good.
Checking out your blog too 🙂

That’s such a gorgeous colour on you! I never would have picked it from the description on the website either but I might have to go and swatch it in store now! You look fantastic 🙂 x

The descriptions on the MAC website are sometimes terrible so I rarely order anything unless I’ve tried it in a shop or counter first.
Thank you Hayley!
