How does it fare? MAC FANFARE LIPSTICK- Review, Swatches & Photographs

You know the kind of love stories that are passionate but short-lived?
My affair with Fanfare is sort of like that! But I wont let it be just yet!.. muha ha ha ha ha ha! *evil*
If you followed me on Twitter, you would know how I ranted about my Fanfare melting! & I barely ever got to use it before it melted! :'(  But I have seen most Fanfares melt! My cousins, the one in the store & a friends mums! :P
Like everything stays! Fanfare melts! :( But thanks to a lot of 'how to save it' videos and articles, I salvaged it somehow, It is still delicate and have lost a LOT of product that way. I wont do it again. No, no. :(

Price- Rs 990





Colour &Texture wise, Fanfare is mid toned pink, Described as Mid-toned yellow pink on the MAC website. It has a little peach somewhere. And is a beautiful, beautiful colour that adds a pretty wash of pink to my face.



In my opinion, it would work best with skin tones upto NC 43/44.
It is a fairly opaque lipstick like most creemsheens are. I love the creemsheen formula next to the amplified finishes from MAC. 
It is a very moisturizing lipstick and had a natural shine to it. I don't ever wear a gloss on top of it.



Lasting time- It lasts for some 3 hours on my lips after which, It leaves a tint behind. It doesn't dry my lips out at all still. Nothing, Read NOTHING lasts on me beyond 3 hours on my lips.





All in all, It is a beautiful lipstick that I am repurchasing as soon as I have money to spare since it is a very happy sunny pink lipstick that doesn't make one look like someone vying barbie's crown!



Oh and I wore Fanfare HERE previously. Fanfare found a fan in me and fares brilliantly! :P Sorry for the PJ had the strongest urge to add it!:P


Which lipstick are you wearing today? Whats been your favourite lately? Let me know, OK?

    ReplyDelete
  24. This is such a soft pretty shade! Will it be too light for me? I'm more into rosy pinks and berry pinks these days. Or reds (i've been wearing red lippie as a stain these days:P) Your lip pic looks so good!

    ReplyDelete
  25. No lipstick today (just tinted lip conditioner), but yesterday I layered MAC Freckletone over a coral Tarte lipsurgence - it was very pretty! Kind of a toned down Vegas Volt color.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ankita, No? :D very pretty!!:D No not at all! Try it once.. :) I know ya.. I want that Nyx Louisiana that you have!:P so pretty!!:D I need ONE red!!:P

    Larie, Oh nice :) Toned down Vegas Volt, you mean minus the acidic quality of Vegas Volt? :D We don't get Tarte here.. :'( I really want to try that!

  29. Do give it a try Harshleen! :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. It melted!!? How? But glad you could salvage it. It'd be horrifying if a 900Rs lippie completely melted.
    And I agree with everyone, you have gorgeous lips.
    I'm not wearing any lippie these days. I have a nasty cough so I'm wearing only lip balms.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Poohkieeee!!!:D Yes it melted. :( in my bag!:( Left it in the car for sometime:(:(
    Thankyouuu!!:* I think its because I've bitten them enough:P I had a flu till now!:P Get well soon sweetie!:)
