MAC Fanfare lipstick is the latest addiction to my collection and is one I chose from a blogger competition win. I had swatched it a few times in the Covent Garden store and decided that as I wanted it, I might as well ask for it with my win.
My growing collection of MAC lipsticks consists mainly of pinks such as Angel, Creme Cup and Viva Glam V so it is probably not that surprising that I have added Fanfare and love the look of Lovelorn, Syrup and Please Me - none of which I have bought (yet).
Fanfare is best described as being a light salmon pink shade lipstick with a slight coral undertone. You will find this lipstick in amongst those with a cremesheen finish. So texture wise it is really creamy formula which is quite smooth when applied as it glides right across your lips leaving behind a wonderful shade of pink.
The one thing I dislike about Creme Cup as a cremesheen finish is that if you have dry patches on your lips, it clings to them, so I can only wear it or feel comfortable wearing it when my lips are in really good condition.

Texture wise Fanfare is smooth and pigmented and on me it has a staying power of around 3 hours before it begins to fade, but as with any product like this, I am one of those people who applies lipstick regularly throughout the day. During those three hours it is more than likely that I will have had copious glasses of water and probably 1-2 cups of green tea, so for a 3 hour stay, I think it is actually quite good.
As a shade, it is one that I really really love. It looks lovely on its own or with a gloss over the top, something else from MAC which I am a bit of a sucker for. I personally feel this is a daytime lipstick and it is one I wear for work all the time, though for an evening, you could wear it as it is buildable.

Priced at £15.50 it is quite pricey in my opinion but it is a lovely lipstick and I like the shade, plus I won it and I am super chuffed with it.
What MAC lipsticks do you love?
Totally in love with that colour - think I need this in my life too.

That's a great colour and three hours staying power is not bad at all. I think it is a bit expensive for me though.
ReplyDeleteA lovely colour, although I don't usually wear lipstick
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful colour!

What a gorgeous shade! =D
ReplyDeleteA lovely shade and a brilliant brand, but I know what you mean if your lips aren't free of dry skin lipstick can look awful especially darker shades :)
ReplyDeleteMac products , you can't go wrong with them.The lipstick colour looks great.
ReplyDeleteI cant remember which shade i have but i do love my MAC products.
ReplyDeleteThis lippy looks gorgeous.
I don't have any Mac makeup but my 16 year-old daughter loves it and I know that it's great quality.
ReplyDeleteMAC colours are great. I do love this one, but no lipsticks last on me more than about 20 minutes!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely steer clear of the creme based one - I have trouble finding anything to stay on my lips for more than 20 minutes!!
ReplyDeleteMy bestmate loves the lipsticks from Mac she says they are fab.
ReplyDeleteLove this colour, looks fabulous. I'm a bit sick of MAC putting their prices up all of the time, I remember when these were a tenner!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise this had such a coral tone to it! I love the look of Syrup too xx

ReplyDeleteI'm a Mac lipstick fan, the only problem is I always forget their names so can never remember what I've already got. Good colour you've chosen there.
