MAC Crosswires Lipstick
THE CROSSWIRES
Hello there! I am excited to share with you one of the beauty presents that I received last Christmas: MAC Crosswires Lipstick. It’s my first coral lipstick and my first cremesheen ever. Let me tell you how it became my newest favorite!

MAC Crosswires Lipstick
THE DEETS
MAC Crosswires lipstick, as described by MAC Cosmetics, is a clean pinky orange. It’s in cremesheen formula. Non-drying. Fairly creamy. Rich in color. Very comfortable and easy to wear.
I have many ways to apply my lipstick as it all depends on the formula. With MAC Crosswires, I get my lips ready as usual by moisturizing my lips with a lip balm, and let it sits there for few minutes — either I do my hair or do my eye makeup while I wait. Then using a tissue, I wipe the lip balm off when I still feel it. Then, I apply the color directly from the tube and blot the lipstick with a tissue to remove excess. I need to remove excess because I have worn MAC Crosswires on many occasions already and it does transfer on my two front teeth whenever I skip this step. When I feel like it, I put on a second coat to achieve a more intensified color.
As expected, MAC lipsticks in cremesheen formula do not last long. MAC Crosswires lipstick needs retouching especially after eating.

THE LIPS
All in all, for a red lipstick fan here for life, I absolutely think MAC Crosswires has an interesting and unique color: A beautiful coral. How about you, what are your favorite coral lipsticks?
Thank you so much to my friend, Zheng, for giving me this lipstick. I am so happy to add it on my scratch offs. Hihi.
