MAC Fire Sign Lustre Lipstick

From the Heavenly Creature collection, Fire Sign is the red shade in the range of 5 limited edition lipsticks and costs £14.

This colour, in my opinion, is a raspberry red.

The result was not quite what I expected from the look of the stick, I was pleasantly surprised!

It has a semi-opaque, lustre finish. 

Reasons to buy:

• A good alternative to a fiery red
• Good option for days you want an opaque red lip colour
• Perfect for those who are afraid to wear deeper reds
• It's buildable, you can achieve more coverage if you want it
• Good to add a touch of colour to extremely pigmented lips
• As with most MAC lip products, it is vanilla scented
  
  

What to consider, before buying:

• Avoid if you don't like sweet, vanilla scent (although it dissipates quickly)
• I find MAC lustre finishes are is not very long lasting, you will need to reapply regularly
• On my lips, Lustre formulas are not very moisturising. In fact, Lustre formula's are not known for their moisturising properties. For this reason, I'd wear it over a moisturising lip balm.

I wouldn't normally pair blue eye shadow with red lipstick, 
but with the opaque look, I think I would get away with it!
