Spotlight on: MAC 'Ravishing' lipstick

Coral lips can seem tricky or daunting, but not with the right product! My favorite coral lipstick is MAC's 'Ravishing' cremesheen lipstick:
This pretty coral is the perfect orangey-pink hybrid that creates a soft look on the lips. Rather than being super vibrant and a 'look-at-me!' coral, this color is quite wearable and understated.
The cremesheen formulas from MAC are one of my favorite formulas since they are, as the name implies, super creamy and hydrating.  Brighter colors like reds, corals, and hot pinks can tend to accentuate fine lines or dryness. The creamy formula of this lipstick makes it really comfortable to wear and doesn't highlight any imperfections.
I recommend this color to anyone who is daring enough to try out a coral lip! If even this subdued coral is still too bright for you, you can always pair the lip color with a gloss to tone it down a bit.
I find the Cremesheen Glass in 'Richer Lusher' tones down this color a bit and makes it look even softer than it already looks, and NARS 'Tasmania' adds a more pink tone to the lip to downplay the orange hue.

Be daring! Rock some coral this Spring :) You'll be happy you did!
