Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share with you my Top 5 favorite dark MAC lipsticks. This was a huge trend this past fall and winter and seems to be spilling over into the summer.

I always get asked what are my favorite dark lipsticks from MAC so here they are!

Ariana Grande Viva Glam lipstick is a cool berry toned lipstick. It is a matte finish and it is super pigmented. I think its super flattering to just about every skin tone because its not to cool and not too warm.

Antique Velvet is more of a chocolate brown matte lipstick. This lipstick is part of the 90’s brown lipstick revival every celebrity and makeupa rtist is starting to use the brown lipstick that was very popular in the 90’s.

Sin is a deeper more brown burgundy matte lipstick. Its not as red a typical burgundy lipstick which gives it more of an edgy and more bold look to it.

Diva is more of a true burgundy lipstick with way more red than sin lipstick. It looks great on deeper skin tones as a perfect red and on more fair to medium skin tones it can be a more trendy dark lipstick.

Paramount is more of a cool brown lipstick with no red in it and it is like a sepia toned brown lipstick. The finish is satin which is a nice natural shine without being too glossy. It looks great paired with a winged eyeliner.

These are my top 5 favorite MAC dark lipsticks! Let me know which ones are your favorites in the comments!
