Velvet Teddy And Spice Lip Liner

Posted on  by 



If you’re a makeup addict then there’s probably an 85% chance that you own at least one MAC lipstick in your collection. With a range of formulas varying from matte to lustre and satin to cremesheen, there really is something available for everyone. And if you really want that pout to ‘pop’ pair with one of the matching lip liners and you’ll have those Kylie Jenner looking lips in no time! Plus, you can’t forget that ever so famous cake like scent

Matte – Velvet Teddy // Spice Liner:Velvet Teddy, ah the cult classic. However, this is one of those shades that I think looks different on everybody dependant upon your skin tone. Before I purchased this I imagined it to be a medium toned brown but it’s actually quite dark against my paler skin tone. For me personally, matte shades are the longest wearing formula out of the entire MAC range, my lips are however very prone to dryness and so I love pairing this with the Benefit Dandelion lipglossto add a touch of moisture to my lips.
Although Velvet Teddy features a reddish undertone, Spice (a warm toned coffee-like brown) is the perfect lip liner combination for this shade. I like to focus VT more towards the centre of the lip to create an ombrè effect.

Satin – MAC RED // REDD Liner:If you’re looking for a deep cherry red then this is the perfect combination for you. This satin finish glides onto the lips with ease and when the lip liner is used this helps to avoid any issues with bleeding which as I’m sure you’ll know with red lipsticks, the struggle is real! For a satin finish, I was so impressed with the pigmentation of this and if paired with a lip sealant you’ve treated yourself to a moisturising yet long lasting lipstick formula.

Cremesheen – Creme D’Nude // Naked Liner:This is one of those shades that if it wasn’t a cremesheen formula it would probably give the illusion of ‘foundation lips’ simply due to how pale of a nude this is. With peach undertones and a glossy finish this makes for the perfect every day nude lippie and is my go to on most days of the week. Outlining the lips with Naked liner creates the appearance of a fuller and more defined looking lip, especially if you have a paler skin tone like myself; this shade can become almost lost alongside your skin tone without the use of a lip liner.

I wore yash on wedding day with spice lip liner and love it. Just received this lipstick in Velvet Teddy. For night times I really pile it on with a lip liner and looks so good with a bronzer and during the day I apply a light cover with some gloss which gives a nice subtle nude lip. A lip liner designed for shaping, lining or filling in the lip. Our Lip Pencils have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for outlining lips or colouring them in. Available in a wide selection of colours that each work well with many different lipstick shades.

The color nude can be a fairly broad term when referring to colors of lipsticks. Nudes can vary from the lightest of nudes like MAC’s ‘Fleshpot’, to deep-toned beiges like MAC’s ‘Velvet Teddy’.

I have always been preferential to MAC lipsticks and I’m not quite sure why. They are kind of in the middle price point, being more expensive and higher quality than drugstore brands, but still much more affordable than the higher-end brands such as NARS, YSL, etc. However, I personally find the quality to be just as good if not better than many designer lipsticks – so why pay more?

MAC is also consistently releasing new shades and collections, making it fun to collect them! Switching up the packaging and making certain colors limited-edition are also fun ways the brand spices things up.

Anyway, lets get down to business!

I swatched a few of my favorite MAC nude lipsticks below and also provided their official shade description as well as their finish type. I also made some recommendations on what MAC lipliners to pair with some of the colors.

The Shades

1. MAC “Velvet Teddy”: Deep tone beige. Matte finish. ‘Velvet Teddy’ is definitely one of the trendy colors at the moment. I usually pair ‘Velvet Teddy’ with MAC’s ‘Stripdown’ liner. I love to line my entire lips with ‘Stripdown’ first and then add ‘Velvet Teddy’ over top to add a bit of dimension and help keep the color lasting all day long. I’ve also tried mixing ‘Faux’ (see below) with ‘Velvet Teddy’ to add a bit of warmth. Buy at AMAZON.

2. MAC “Faux”: Muted mauve-pink. Satin finish. ‘Faux’ is another trendy color at the moment, thanks to Miss Kylie Jenner! I love to pair ‘Faux’ with MAC’s ‘Whirl’ lipliner. Buy at AMAZON.

3. MAC “Blankety”: Soft pink beige. Amplified finish. This is my go-to shade when I’m looking for a very neutral lip. It’s not too light and not too dark. The only thing I would change is the finish, since it’s a tad too shiny for me. But other than that, I love this color! A great alternative to this color if you aren’t into the amplified finishes is MAC’s ‘Honeylove’. It has a matte finish and is a very neutral tone. Buy at AMAZON.

4. MAC “Hue”: Soft pale pink. Glaze finish. ‘Hue’ is like my go-to lipstick for office wear, interviews, etc. It’s super neutral and doesn’t add too much color to your lips. I normally don’t go for glaze finishes, but nude shades can totally pull them off! Buy AMAZON.

5. MAC “Creme Cup”: Light blue pink. Cremesheen finish. ‘Creme Cup’ looks more pink than nude, but when paired with the right liner it can be a very neutral shade. Since I have more pigmented lips, I love to line my lips with MAC’s ‘Naked’ liner (you can also use concealer), and then fill them in with ‘Creme Cup’ for a slight touch of color. It’s a cooler-toned pink, and has a creme sheen finish, so it’s not too drying when worn over the lip liner. Buy at AMAZON.

6. MAC “Creme d’ Nude”: Pale muted peach beige. Cremesheen finish. ‘Creme d’ Nude’ is one of MAC’s most popular nudes (it’s even in the name!). Like Blankety, it’s a go-to classic nude shades, although this one has much less pink in it. It’s a great color to wear with smoky eyes and I personally love to pair it with MAC’s ‘Subculture’ lip liner. Buy at AMAZON.

7. MAC “Fleshpot”: Pale muted pinky-beige. Satin finish. I know this shade is SO light, but I’ve always had a special place in my heart for ‘Fleshpot’! A few years ago when Kim Kardashian made the nude lip a thing, ‘Fleshpot’ was my favorite lipstick in the world and I couldn’t get enough of it. I love that it has pink undertones in it, because it makes it a bit easier to pull off, especially if you’re paler. As you can probably guess, this shade is paired perfectly with MAC’s ‘Naked’ liner. Buy at AMAZON.
