Flair For Finery Mac
MAC’s ‘Instigator’ lipstick was part of the Punk Couture collection released in December of 2013. The collection featured four daring lipstick shades in ‘Punk Couture,’ ‘Studded Kiss,’ ‘Hautecore,’ and ‘Instigator.’
‘Instigator’ is described as a Deep Blacked Plum with a retro matte finish. I have tried numerous plum lipsticks and have found that ones with blue undertones suit my skin tone better – which is why I love ‘Instigator’ so much! The bluer undertones give it that real plum color, and ones with red undertones tend to look more oxblood.
I thought ‘Instigator’ went on very well and seemed to make my lips darker as I continued applying. It lasted a long time on my lips and didn’t smear as easily as others do – most likely due to it’s matte finish.
Unfortunately, ‘Instigator’ is a limited edition shade so the only place that may have it is Ebay, where resellers double and triple the price of these sold out colors. MAC carries tons of other great plum colors though, and you can visit my Lipstick Guide for some great plum lipstick alternatives.
Flair for Finery is the name of both the lipstick and cremesheen glass in the new Mac holiday collection called Divine Night. I would describe both as a light pink-based nude (just think of a hybrid of Creme D'Nude and Creme Cup). 21-dic-2014 - baby pink lipstick flair for finery by mac. 21-dic-2014 - baby pink lipstick flair for finery by mac. 21-dic-2014 - baby pink lipstick flair for finery by mac.

Tips on perfecting the plum lip:
- Always exfoliate your lips first (try a sugar scrub)
- Use a lip conditioner (MAC has a great one!)
- Use a lip pencil to line your lips first
- Use a lip brush to apply the lipstick for an even finish
- Pair it with a brown smokey eye or black winged liner
