I know what you are thinking, pale pink lipstick and you are a black girl? This lipstick is a sumptuous choice for women who want to achieve that pale look but you have dark skin. It also looks good on lighter skin tones. You guys are probably noticing a pattern with my posts so far right? I always go for lipsticks that go the distance and this is one of my ultimate favourites by a mile.

It is matte yet creamy and it doesn’t have a drying effect. One of the biggest issues though with Tom Ford products in general is that they are small in terms of the product that you receive. These lipsticks are small and you don’t get that much pigment considering the money. Is this on purpose? I think Tom Ford as a brand is always pushing customers to see what is the breaking point. People keep buying though.

I wouldn’t say Tom Ford is value for money however it is kind of like a Picasso of beauty – you can get one, have it in your beauty bag and it will invigorate your beauty looks but you will definitely remember how much you paid for the pleasure.

This is one of the best softer pink lipsticks on the market for women of colour if you are going for that 1960s look.

Price: $54 – Tom is always crazy with his pricing – no exception here!

MAC Twig Lipstick Review

Is Twig really that nice?

MAC ‘Twig’ Lipstick is one of those must-haves for every woman because it is literally one of the only lipsticks that works on every skintone. Not kidding – I wish I was because I realise this sounds unbelievable. It’s a mauve-pink that has some brown tones but they are quite subtle. I am dark-skinned and it looks really nice on my skintone, yet I have noticed it is popular with lighter-skinned women as well.

The consistency is creamy and thick – there is something about it that reminds me of what a hardened milkshake would feel like. It does glide on smoothly.

I love the colour and creamy texture of Twig and it is definitely a lipstick that you can wear to work (it’s not too bright) but it also looks good if you want a lipstick to wear on general errands on the weekends.

Twig is a workhorse lipstick shade that will get the job done. I would suggest buying this product if you want a lipstick that can go from day to night.

Is Twig worth the price?

Price: $18.50 in the US, £17.50 in the UK – (MAC is constantly increasing prices guys, get in quick!)

I do think MAC is taking the mickey with some of the price increases that they are doing. The cost of the lippies has increased by a lot. That said, Twig is worth adding to your collection if you want a lipstick that lifts up your look without overpowering you. I do think Twig is a solid purchase because it instantly makes you look good however do this as soon as possible because MAC keeps raising prices!
