MAC High Tea
What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an usually underrated makeup morsel, a long-term collection product that scoots under the radar screen of numerous makeup enthusiasts however routinely rocks my world. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features a few of my favorites.
There ain’t no celebration like a high tea celebration ’cause a high tea celebration don’t stop!
This occurs to me not only since I’m currently craving tea as well as those small sandwiches from The Rotunda once again (OH, MAH GOSH! So good…), however likewise since of the just recently introduced frosty beige MAC Mariah Carey Lipstick.

Even though I can completely photo Mimi rocking a frosty beige lipstick, it’s the type of color that isn’t always simple to wear, which got me wondering about other MAC lipsticks with a kinda-sorta similar vibe.
After combing my mental MAC files, I kept in mind High Tea. It’s a $17 pearly beige pink in the MAC Lustre Lipstick line, as well as it has just sufficient frostiness to hit those high notes without being so frosty that it becomes challenging to wear.

Maybe since of the subtle frosty, shiny finish, it likewise makes my lips look a bit fuller (I think). Yup, being a MAC Lustre, High Tea has a glossy, holiday-hoppin’ finish, however it isn’t sticky like a gloss, which implies that I can wear it without fretting about my hair whipping around when it’s windy as well as getting stuck to my pout.
I discover that I do have to reapply the lightweight, moderately moisturizing formula after snacks, drinks as well as meals, however that’s not a huge offer for me. I don’t mind. I kinda believe it’s fun (and MAC’s signature vanilla flavor as well as scent get me every time).
Also, when you’re in the mood to layer, try it with MAC Lip Pencil in Subculture or the MAC pro Longwear Lip Pencils in Oh Honey or Cultured. I like exactly how they look with High Tea. Or, try it with something like a nude pinkish gloss on top, like MAC Plushglass in huge Baby.
