MAC Crosswires Review

As compared to pinks and nudes, peaches/corals are new to my liking, but I am enjoying them esp with the summer here in Australia. I am reviewing MAC Crosswires on the request of my dear friend Samyukta from http://isimplylovemakeup.blogspot.com/

MAC Crosswires is a pretty coral shade from the MAC creamsheen line.

MAC Crosswires (Creamsheen)



I love the color and feel that when applied lightly it instantly brightens up my face. I feel this color can be used both for summers and winters. It works best for me when I apply it with a light hand (one coat) since it becomes a 'look at me lip' when I apply it heavily.

The Good

• Nicely pigmented : Crosswires is a pretty nicely pigmeneted color, even with a just a dab on the lips it brightens up the face and gives good color to your lips. It gives nice opaque coverage to lips
• The color works well both for day and night. You can wear this with a smokey eye for the night and and lightly with neutral eyes during the day. It works both as a pretty pop of color or as a bold lip
• It has a nice creamy texture to it
• Reasonable staying power

The Bad

• setlles into lines - yes it does settle into fine lines :(
• a bit drying
