Diva is part of MAC Cosmetics' matte lipstick collection and one of their most popular shades. It's an intense dark burgundy which is said to suit most people. Although you'd expect this matte lipstick to be drying, its formula doesn't dry out the lips. This product does require some extra attention. Lining the lips prevents the colour from bleeding, and a lip brush is a great tool to control precise application, but isn't necessary. A lot of people swear by a good lip scrub before putting on Diva, too, to avoid the product to cling to dry patches. Cleaning up the edges with concealer afterwards is optional.
It took me a lot of bravery to start wearing dark lipstick - or lipstick at all, for that matter - but I must say I have been loving how it looks! My quest for a bigger lipstick collection doesn't end here, no, I actually received an exciting package last week. Expect more on that soon!
EDIT: Someone asked for a full face picture while wearing Diva, so here you have the gnarliest picture of me after a day at uni. Please excuse my massive under-eye circles, they are getting out of control and even concealer doesn't help anymore (any tips on that are welcome, by the way).
Anyway, this is what Diva looks like! The colour in the picture is true to how it looks in real life.
What's your favourite lipstick?
