MAC Lipstick Rebel | Review

Hello Lovelies!

Today's blog will be a review on MAC Rebel Lipstick.

I thought I'd start off by saying that this lipstick is 

definitely one of those that looks a lot different in

the tube than it comes out, however I was pleasantly surprised

In the tube it looks like quite a deep purple although when

you apply it the product shows up more like a plum pink as 

you can see in my swatches.

As this is a satin lipstick, it is neither a sheen or matte

finish. I quite like this because I don't feel overwhelmed

by the shimmer but neither do I feel that the matte has a 

drying effect on my lips. I have heard other people say

that it can make their lips quite dry so it is always a good

idea to have a layer of lip balm underneath.

This lipstick is really well pigmented and comes out as

a very strong colour, it also suits most skin tones in one 
way or another so is perfect for almost everyone. 
As I am quite a pale person, sometimes lipsticks can be quite overwhelming against my skin tone so with this lipstick I tend to only apply a small amount and smudge it out with my finger to prevent looking like a three year old playing with her Mum's makeup.

Due to the good pigment in this it can look quite messy if 

you rush the application, so I recommend applying with a lip brush

with a lip liner underneath. This pretty much goes with 

any bold colour though.

I also find that I don't often need to reapply this lipstick,

even if I smudge it out to create a more muted shade because

it stays really well, and when it does wear off a raspberry

pink kind of shade is left on the lips. 

I really like this lipstick because of its versatility, in

the sense that you can use it for whatever kind of look

depending on the intensity you apply it with. It's also

quite an unusual shade and I haven't seen many others this

colour.

All over this is a perfect Autumn/winter lipstick that could

also be worn in summer.

I currently do not have any other MAC Lipsticks to compare it 

to at the moment.

What is your favourite MAC shade? What is good about it?

Thanks for reading
