MAC Paramount Lipstick – Discover the Timeless Appeal
As a makeup junkie, I’m always on the search for that perfect lipstick — one that pops (but not too much), feels natural & brings elegance to my finished beauty look. It was then that I discovered the MAC Paramount Lipstick and it has fast become part of my regular selection for beauty. So today I am going to share which lipstick is worth your collection.
The Shade That Speaks Sophistication
MAC Paramount is an absolutely exquisite shade that fits into the warm, reddish-brown spectrum. This is not some basic brown lipstick — it’s a dark, deep shade with just the right amount of red undertones to look good on almost all skin tones. When I wore it for the first time, and saw how drastically bright my face looked after application. This is the type of color that brings a bit of drama, but it is not too bold and can be perfect for both day wear or evening out.
Paramount is so versatile, which is what I love best! So this lipstick goes with all makeup looks, from natural to dramatic. I love to pair it with neutral eyeshadows for a more subdued look, or with a smoky eye for something a bit more glamorous. This is a statement color, but there is a quiet sophistication about it.
The Formula: Smooth, Creamy, and Long-Lasting
The formula is one of the main things I look at when selecting a lipstick. MAC Paramount doesn’t disappoint. It’s part of MAC’s Satin range, which means it has a semi-matte finish that feels creamy and smooth on the lips. It’s not as glossy as a traditional satin lipstick, which I appreciate because it gives a more modern, polished look.
It feels lighter to wear than it should (a welcome trait for a lipstick), and while some lipsticks can really strip your lips, that’s never a problem with Paramount. It wears well but still manages to keep lips hydrated enough that I don’t feel like I’m shriveling up. I’ve already got four Lip Booms so I guess I better start saving up! You can rub your lips, eat and drink so I test products very thoroughly. It feels pretty much like any other lipstick so of course action shots are required:
Of course, you ultimately need to test it out for yourself, but I can say I’ve worn it for hours on end, including through meals, and it holds up well. Just like anything else, it may need to be re-applied after a greasy dinner, but other than that it stays on and on.
The Packaging: Classic MAC
Let’s not forget the packaging. MAC is known for its sleek, black bullet packaging, and Paramount is no exception. It’s simple, elegant, and sturdy enough to toss into my handbag without worrying about it getting damaged. There’s something so satisfying about the click of a MAC lipstick tube—if you know, you know!
My Personal Experience
The first time I tried Paramount from MAC, I was a bit reluctant as I usually only pick up lighter, nude shades. However, the way it complimented my skin tone and the effect it had on my lips that made them look fuller and more defined was just great. Needless to say, it has turned into one of my favorite lip colors for those “I want to look put together and confident and it’s just a day of running errands” days.
The compliments I have gotten while wearing this shade have only furthered my opinion that MAC Paramount is a winner. This is one shade that is timeless and I can see myself wearing it for years to come.
