I really love MAC for bright lipsticks so I knew I would love Flat Out Fabulous. It’s an obnoxiously bright almost fuchsia like shade with purple tones running through it. It’s an incredibly bold shade and definitely makes a statement.
I do find that Retro Matte lipsticks are a little more difficult to apply than any other MAC collection and Flat Out Fabulous is no exception. I try to apply this straight from the bullet but I find it drags across my lips rather than gliding smoothly. A brush is definitely a better way to apply this.
The lasting power of Flat Out Fabulous is rather fabulous (I’m sorry). Usually I find my lipstick all over my glass, my fork and occasionally my food but Flat Out Fabulous predominately stays put. There is a little bit of transfer when drinking out of cups/glasses but it’s nothing major. If you refuse to eat or drink it will last all day. Please don’t do that though, that’s how you end up with kidney stones and a rumbling stomach.
Matte shades tend to dry out my lips but I haven’t had a problem with Flat Out Fabulous and I haven’t had to apply lip balm throughout the day. It doesn’t look all that great when you apply it to dry, flaky lips but in all fairness, what lipstick does?
I did originally think this shade was far too bright for my pale skin and black hair but I’m starting to think it really works. I could be completely delusional though but I fail to accept the fact bright shades are rather daunting on me.
If you’re looking for a great bright lipstick you need Flat Out Fabulous in your life. I think it would work for the majority of skintones and works well as both a subtle stain and a bold, in your face shade. It’s getting close to replacing Impassioned as my favourite lipstick.
I shall now proceed to drool over all of the MAC lipsticks I currently don’t own and cry over their perfection. Is this the sign of a lipstick addict?
