[I am MAC NC50 for reference]
swatches from left to right: MAC Nightmoth lip pencil, Pure Heroine, NYX Deep Purple lip liner
**note: the next few swatches are without any liner***
I can't help but channel Lorde's music video, "Tennis Court" while wearing this.
This lipstick doesn't look as dark on the lips as it does in the bullet, but it is still darker than I expected to be with the given swatches I've seen online so far. If you're still craving more darkness, just deepen it up by filling in the lips with Nightmoth lip liner by MAC seen below:
Speaking of online swatches, I CONSIDERED passing on Pure Heroine because I thought it looked like MAC Rebel lipstick online. Boy, was I wrong.

I LOVE this lipstick, and I can't wait to wear the heck out of it this fall!...or maybe not since it's limited edition. I just wish the collection was a little bigger and included the softer side of Lorde's looks, like a nude or pale pink (a la "Royals" music video). I took care of this myself by purchasing MAC Faux lipstick. If you want more of a sheer pale lip from the video, try a wash of NARS Roman Holiday lipstick.
(doesn't she look like a love child of Kylie Jenner and Cher Lloyd with natural makeup? I don't know what's up with me and love children today!)
Did you snatch up this beauty or let it pass you by? What MAC collaborations do you want to see in the future? Personally, I'm pulling for a Lana Del Rey collection! I can just see lipsticks named "Ultraviolence" and "Sweet Like Cinnamon," a navy eyeliner named "Blue Jeans" (my FAVORITE song of hers), and a eye shadow quad called "Shades of Cool." *sigh* I should be on someone's creative team. But I digress...More to come, my pretties!
