2 Shoes, 1 Smudge!

1 min read

Poor old 2 Shoes. Not only did the Essex duo get booted off the X Factor last night in the first weekend of live shows, the dark-haired one appeared on national television with her lipstick smeared all over her face!

Was that not the biggest beauty faux pas of the show (well, apart from Kitty’s crazy Saturday night eye makeup, maybe)? There is nothing worse than thinking your lippy is on your teeth, has bled a bit, or has smudged.

Who knows what brand 2 Shoes were wearing (I shall investigate however!), but if she had been wearing my latest lipstick-love, I doubt her smudgy faux-pas would have happened even if she’d held the mic against her mouth all night.

I was sent a M.A.C Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Prolong (a bold red, what else?!) last week, and wow  – this really does not budge! If you’re looking for lasting lippy ladies, this is it! I’ve read it all before – ‘lasts all day’, ‘won’t transfer or smudge’, ‘won’t feather’ and I’ve yet to find a lipstick that is true to all of these claims …. until now.

This M.A.C lippy does all of the above. However, let’s not let it get too big-headed – it does also claim to keep your lips hydrated, and, as with all long-lasting lipsticks, I did feel that it fell down a little bit here.

But only a little. And what’s a wee bit of dryness against a big smudge after all!? If you want a bright pink like 2 Shoes, go for Love Forever!
