Pure Heroine a limited edition Amplified finish lipstick from MAC and is part of the two-piece MAC x Lorde collection that was released here in Australia at the start of July. I received an email in June from MAC for special offer to buy this collection before its official release date. I definitely recommend signing up if you like to get reminded of new collections and special offers.
I only purchased the lipstick as I didn't really feel the need to have the liner. I already own plenty of liquid liners that work fine for me.
But I'm obsessed with any dark lipstick and Lorde so I had to purchase Pure Heroine!
Pure Heroine retails for $36.00 here in Australia.
The Amplified formula makes it go on smooth and glossy.
I personally rather dark lipsticks to have a matt finish just because the staying power is longer, but this lipstick lasts at least 4 hours of you're not constantly eating and drinking.
It appears as a dark plum in the tube but comes off lighter and more sheer when applied to the lips.
The colour has warmer violet pinky-plum undertones of MAC lipstick Heroine with more depth of Cyber or Punk Couture.
I was a little bit disappointed when first putting this lipstick on, just because I was expecting such a darker, blackened more opaque colour.
As you can see from the swatches, Pure Heroine is warmer and more of a violet colour than Cyber but not as warm as Rebel, which has a more wine colour to it.
When pairing this lipstick with MAC Nightmoth lip liner it gives the colour a deeper tone, similar to cyber.
Thanks for reading!
