MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Crème D’ nude ($17)
Neat and new to Me

Unlike my Unsung Heroes series, which features permanent collection products I’ve known and loved a long time, the Neat and new to Me series showcases permanent collection products that slipped under my radar for a while, but then I discovered them! — and now I think they’re neat and new to me.

Makeup guidelines are implied to be broken, but I still got mad love for the makeup law-abiding classics, like looks with bold smoky eyes and nude lips, which I blame, in part, on $17 MAC Crème D’Nude Cremsheen Lipstick.

Some makeup looks are like zombies, ya know? (Because it always comes back to zombies…) but I imply that figuratively this time. Basically, they never stay out of style for long.

So while I’ll always love my fellow makeup rule-breakers, especially when you do that smoky eye-bold lip thing (keep workin’ that emerald green smoky eye with those glossy, opaque hot pink lips, hunty!), I still gotta have my classics.

Pale muted peachy beige Crème D’Nude completely understands that. It’ll make you want to strip down to your skivvies and run around the office screaming in ecstasy.

OK, maybe not…but it does flat-out rock. It’s full coverage, smooth, moisturizing, and its warm peachy tones keep me looking like I’m actually running a healthy 98.6°F temperature. By comparison, I can’t stand it when pale beige lippies make me look like I just crawled out of the ground like an extra in MJ’s Thriller video.

Hell no! That’s sooo not happening with Crème D’Nude.

There isn’t a smoky eye it doesn’t like, be it a classic puff of charcoal gray and black, or a bright, bold blue and teal like the one I’m wearing here. Crème D’Nude will pair with it perfectly.

It lives in the MAC permanent collection, so it’s waiting on a counter near you, wishing to make sweet, sweet music with your smoky eye looks. Swing by a MAC counter to give it a closer look, or check it out online.
