Why be normal? You just be you, boo.

normal: adjective. conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. noun. the usual, average, or typical state or condition.

Mac Instigator Lipstick

Yeah, this is one of those posts that starts with a definition, bear with me…

There's a serious disconnect between what 'normal' means and the connotations of the word. Normal is treated as synonymous with acceptance, security and happiness, but normal isn't necessarily any of those things. Something that's normal isn't inherently good or bad, but is it something that people should strive be? There are so many more beneficial and interesting things than being a 'normal' person! For me, I want to strive to be authentic.

That might sound corny. But as we go through life, it's easy to lose touch with ourselves. For me personally, I went through some things in my 20s that left me feeling like the real me just wasn't good enough. I tried pretending to be someone I felt would be accepted–someone normal–but I felt fake and I was more miserable than before.

As my 30th birthday approached, I started focusing on accepting where I had been, I learned to try to listen to my own inner voice, and I consciously made an effort to live a life that truly reflected who I am–I tried to become the best, most genuine version of myself that I could possibly be. And it helped me to become more able to encourage others to be themselves–'You do you, boo.' We each have something beautifully unique to bring to the table–when I was able to accept myself, and accept others, there was this exponential positive effect.

That shift within me also became an outward shift in my appearance: I stopped feeling like I had to look like everyone else, or that I needed to look a certain way to please other people. I let my colorful personality show on the outside. My hair has been most of the colors of the rainbow over the last two year; I have a lot of tattoos and plan on getting even more; I wear untraditional shades of lipstick… and I truly LOVE these things, and how I feel in these things, regardless of what other people think. I try to live and let live, y'all. By actively being and living in a way that's genuine to me, I've been able to better attract the kind of people who truly lift up my soul–people who also value being genuine, and who encourage others to let their lights shine even brighter.

For me, the people I consider my tribe are the kind of people who don't bat an eye when I show up for happy hour in mesh-accented yoga pants, sandals, messy hair and green lipstick. While it might not be a fashion choice that they would go for, they accept and appreciate my differences.

I love expressing myself through color. I treat my body like a canvas. Which is why being a beauty blogger is such a blast for me–I love getting to try fun and funky new shades of makeup. I get to play and experiment. It's an opportunity for me to be creative, and use my own face as a canvas, which is something that really brings me joy.

Right now, I'm excited to share my excitement about my latest lip ‘paint': the expanded collection of bold MAC lipstick shades (all $17.50).

MAC On And On lipstick

Let's start with my NEW FAVE: On And On (frost), which MAC describes as a deep purple with blue pearl. It's magnificent, like something a moody mermaid would wear.

MAC Instigator lipstick

Instigator and Stone (both matte) are my next faves, both of which feel like modern takes on classic shades. Instigator is a deep blackened plum reminiscent of the mid 1920s flapper girls. Stone is a muted greyish taupe brown; the 90s in lipstick form!

MAC Wild Extract lipstick

MAC Soft Hint lipstick

Wild Extract (frost), a bright golden lime green with electric pearl, and Soft Hint (frost), an icy candy blue with blue pearl, are gorgeous translucent shades that work by themselves, but are especially fun layered over a complimentary shade, such as Dreampot (matte), a light and bright candy blue.

MAC In My Fashion lipstick

In My Fashion (matte) is a darkened chocolate brown. It's a beautiful alternative to black lipstick, with a little more warmth, but keeping the dramatic effect.

No matter what shade of lipstick you choose to wear, I hope it's authentic to you at this moment. Why should you try to be 'normal'? Be beautifully you.

MAC's ‘Instigator' lipstick was part of the Punk Couture collection released in December of 2013. The collection featured four daring lipstick shades in ‘Punk Couture,' ‘Studded Kiss,' ‘Hautecore,' and ‘Instigator.'

‘Instigator' is described as a Deep Blacked Plum with a retro matte finish. I have tried numerous plum lipsticks and have found that ones with blue undertones suit my skin tone better – which is why I love ‘Instigator' so much! The bluer undertones give it that real plum color, and ones with red undertones tend to look more oxblood.

I thought ‘Instigator' went on very well and seemed to make my lips darker as I continued applying. It lasted a long time on my lips and didn't smear as easily as others do – most likely due to it's matte finish.

Unfortunately, ‘Instigator' is a limited edition shade so the only place that may have it is Ebay, where resellers double and triple the price of these sold out colors. MAC carries tons of other great plum colors though, and you can visit my Lipstick Guide for some great plum lipstick alternatives.


Tips on perfecting the plum lip:

  • Always exfoliate your lips first (try a sugar scrub)
  • Use a lip conditioner (MAC has a great one!)
  • Use a lip pencil to line your lips first
  • Use a lip brush to apply the lipstick for an even finish
  • Pair it with a brown smokey eye or black winged liner
