 MAC Flat out Fabulous is part of the permanent line of Lipstick now after the huge popularity of it while the Retro matte Lipsticks were launched. Most shades including this fab MAC Flat out Fabulous shade was sold out within minutes of being launched. But then MAC decided to add this shade to it’s permanent line, and I’m glad they did.

Review of MAC Flat out Fabulous :

Flat out fabulous is one of those beautiful purple-magenta shades that flatters all skin tones undoubtedly, and since it has a blue undertone to it, it makes the teeth appear whiter. Belonging to the much-coveted retro matte range, Flat out fabulous sports incredible pigmentation and a no-sheen classic matte finish, but it does not look dead corpse matte, instead looks classy and is one my favourites from MAC.





The staying power of this is around 6 to 7 hours with snacking in between, but after a sumptuous meal, you would want to touch up. In summers it doesn’t dry out, but during winters these retro matte finishes end up giving you a really hard time. These Retro matte finish lipsticks, such as mac flatout fabulous tend to be drying but applying a lip balm 5 minutes prior to its application, takes away this problem. I am a pink lover myself and FLAT OUT FABULOUS is one of the most prized possessions in my collection. J

Final Words :

Overall I would say , if you are able to find it at the store then sure get it. MAC Flat out Fabulous when paired with the MAC magenta lip liner, seem like a match made in heaven, they look ‘princessy’ together. A total must have in my opinion, it is as classic as a red lipstick is, and you can easily go out with this if you are afraid of reds like I am.





I hope you nuggets, like how I write, open to all suggestions, until next time feel beautiful as always <3
