If you are a regular reader here on
RosyChicc, you would know that when it comes to my lipstick choices I don’t
discriminate. No matter how bright and bold a lipstick is I’ll have it and
chances are – I will love it too. And the shockingly bold (and equally beautiful) MAC Heroine (here) is the living proof. Ever
since I got if a few weeks back, it’s been twisted up and swiped on too many
times to count and even though it gets the occasional judgy looks from my
grandma I adore it. I feel like it reflects my personality perfectly and if I were
a lipstick I’d definitely be Heroine…
With Heroine, you either love it or hate it
and I definitely seem to be in love with it. The super unique bright violet purple
shade of Heroine is what leaves me smitten every time I swipe it across my lips.
It is bold and daring and definitely has a certain edge to it but at the same
time it’s fun and stylish. Heroine is ideal when you want to break from the
mainstream nudes and reds and it definitely does something to my confidence. It
is the perfect companion for us green-eyed ladies too as it makes the color of
the eyes pop beautifully. If you don’t fancy going full-on purple pout then I
have good news and you can actually build down the shade to a more sheer violet-y
veil of color, which is just as stunning. Love.
Heroine is branded as a matte but I’d say
that it has more of a satin finish. It definitely has a slight sheen to it and
the creamy consistency is what makes me love it even more. The lippy applies
like a dream with no trace of drying or clinging into fine lines. Also, there
is no awkward fading or bleeding in different areas, which gets big thumbs up
from me! Pigmentation wise, Heroine rocks and you need one swipe to get full-blown
and even color. The 3-4 hour longevity of this beauty is great considering how
smooth and soft it actually is. So my final verdict? Heroine is a good’un and if
you fancy going out of your comfort zone and dipping your toe into the violet /
purple lip pool this gem’s a must!
Have you tried Heroine before?
How do you like it? Would you sport a shade like this?
Lots of love,
Andrea
You look beautiful. You rock this bold color.

Yes, I love purple lippies! I have MAC's Pure Heroine which is a bit darker than this one, but I'd still love this for my collection since it is a bit different! This looks great on you =)
