I’m still so very much in love with matte lipsticks and one that I have been obsessed with for months now is MAC’s Velvet Teddy.
I had the most difficult time finding a nude lipstick that would be suitable for my skin tone. A lot of them would wash me out, look way too peachy-pink on me or simply looked “too nude” (read: they made me look like a zombie). Enter Velvet Teddy by MAC. Velvet Teddy is a beautiful, neutral, brown toned nude with a bit of a 90’s feel. I think that this shade is also very much Kylie Jenner-like.
The finish is entirely matte and with its amazing formula it lasts a very long time. Once again, because of my lighting, the finish looks a bit more sheen than it actually is. Rest assured that it doesn’t get any “matte-er” than Velvet Teddy. Despite of such a flat finish, it isn’t drying at all, which is another big plus.
I’ve been using Velvet Teddy for a while now and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. I like using it with NYX lipliner in “Natural” or with “Whirl” lipliner by MAC. Even though I’ve been using Velvet Teddy all summer, I think that it’s an amazing color for the summer-autumn transition, and can be rocked even during cold winter months.
What do you guys think of this shade? I think that if I could only buy one MAC lipstick for the rest of my life, Velvet Teddy would be it (and how cuddly and lovely is the name “Velvet Teddy”? <3)
Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to see what I’m up to on daily basis.

September 7, 2014 at 10:24 pmOh my gosh Paula! This picture of you just has to be one of my favourites, ever. So utterly, utterly breathtakingly beautiful! What an absolute stunner you are ;) You look like you belong in a fairytale! I know someone made a reference to Angelina Jolie on your Instagram, and there are most definite AJ vibes coming off you, but just know you give her a bloody good run for her money! If the newspapers scream “AJ declared bankrupt” then we know who to blame! YOU! ;) :D :D Way to ruin her honeymoon Paula! OK, OK I’ll stop now….. hehe :P
Your make-up is so flawless as always, and Velvet Teddy just screams “you”. I love your beautiful eye make-up, and how you the whole look is so fresh but packs a punch too. I love that it remains loyal to the 90s but also has such a relevant vibe. And yes! What a cuddly name! So very sweet! :D Such amazing photography as always my love, as you know I’m in love with your first photo, and I really love how you captured the light in the last. Absolutely stunning! <3 <3

Paula
September 9, 2014 at 4:26 pmThank you Sadie! Yeah, I love that despite this having a matte finish it’s so soft and creamy on the lips and isn’t drying at all ;)

February 1, 2021 at 3:51 amIt looks great on you! I live in Brazil, am going to try to buy what I can at Ulta and Sephora; mail to my brother in Denver and have him mail a package to me here! As far as a combo maybe using a Mac or KKW lipstick underneath then lipglass over it, can you recommend me something? Thank you!
