When I imagined MAC Evolution Revolution Lipglass ($14.50), I really wanted it to be flexible — something that wouldn’t only look pretty on its own, but would also work with as many other products as possible.
Here are 12 possible pairings to spark some ideas (featuring some of my favorite peach, pink and coral MAC Lip Pencils, Cremestick Liners and Lipsticks). Oh, and please let me know in the comments if you can think of any other cool combos to try.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

May 31st, 2011 at 7:27 amwow! they’re all beatiful but ravishing and summer fruit make the best, most gorgeous combos!
Fieran says
May 31st, 2011 at 7:28 amDarn, Karen this is such a versatile lipglass. I am so bummed out that nothing from the collection will be available for us international readers :/
Melisa says
May 31st, 2011 at 7:39 ami want this lipgloss! the summerfruit combo is so pretty
Rona says
May 31st, 2011 at 7:39 am^^Exactly how I feel! I will just have to hope that some end up on ebay so I can bag some!
AtelierGal says
May 31st, 2011 at 7:40 amWhen I’d first laid eyes on Evolution Revolution, the first lippy that came to mind is CANMAKE in Peach Beige. It is peachy with subtle pink undertones that deserves an extra kick aka Evolution Revolution 🙂

May 31st, 2011 at 7:48 amGreat photos, Karen. I can only imagine how long it took you to take them. Love all the variants by the way, but the one with Impassioned is uber hot!
dani@callitbeauty says

May 31st, 2011 at 8:04 amThis is gorgeous — if I could create a lipglass it would be pretty close to ER! So pretty — I am so excited to get my hands on it.
I can tell just by looking at it that it would be gorgeous over Marquise D lipstick, too! That has become one of my faves.
Congrats on your beautiful color!!

Atanza says
June 1st, 2011 at 11:19 amThat’s totally what I was thinking – I will definitely be picking up this lipglass and layering it over Ever Hip. I think it’s going to be beautiful!
Crystal says

May 31st, 2011 at 9:49 amI really like the Dervish combo, though they all looked great! 🙂
What did you think of GoT from Sunday night? I could have done without the Littlefinger confession to his “employees” but, it’s HBO, so what are you going to do? Even though I knew what was going to happen with Ned, I was still anxious during the build-up. Were you surprised?
Karen says
May 31st, 2011 at 11:26 amI need to take Dervish out more often… it needs some loving!
Yeah, and the confession to his employees was… awkward! I mean, was that an audition or something? Never mind, I don’t need to know.
Poor Ned Stark can’t seem to catch a break. Homebody is having a ROUGH couple of days!
My favorite lines from the episode: “I always wanted to be a wizard. I’m serious.” HAHA!
Kim says
May 31st, 2011 at 12:23 pmYeah, I feel the same way. That scene was not in the books – it was a little color added by HBO. 🙂 I know, poor Ned. I’d like to throttle that weasely Littlefinger! Sam was funny with the wizard comment – he’s pretty good at cheering others up, despite being so unhappy himself.

I hope that you snag a tube and that you love it as much as I do.

I like that combo too.
Hope you’re feeling better today and that you had a grrrreat weekend. 🙂

May 31st, 2011 at 3:52 pmwe had a great long weekend. we went to the beach at 4 am on sunday and just hung out til 2 pm. got home and crashed and didnt get up til monday hah!
crosswires might just be my fave lipstick ever. 🙂
Anna says
May 31st, 2011 at 10:20 amLOVE!! Since I got myself 2 tubes of that Hibiscus (and plan to get Crosswires when I’m out of both… lol) I might as well buy myself a couple tubes of Evolution Revolution as well!!
Congratulations on this amazing opportunity and the beautiful results! Very well deserved 🙂
Karen says
May 31st, 2011 at 11:20 amHi Anna,
I just picked up Hibiscus over the weekend and I’m in love. I was afraid it was going to be sold out — thank goodness they had a few tubes left. What eye makeup have you been wearing it with?

jena says
May 31st, 2011 at 11:47 ami think its amazing that you have your own shade of lipglass!!! I am definitely buying at least 2 tubes when they get released. Such a gorgeous shade! I like that there are flecks of sparkle that you normally don’t see. They make your lips look so glowy and beautiful! Side note, what font do you use for the EVOLUTION REVOLUTION? I’m looking for a font to do my business cards for my cleaning company and I love that font but I can’t find anything similar. Thanks! <3 Jena
Jean says
June 1st, 2011 at 12:38 pmlooks like maybe Helvetica bold or one of those fonts. Pretty though! Motor Oil is a nice alternative from dafont.com

May 31st, 2011 at 11:55 amooo I think it looks best on you when paired with ravishing. For pale lips I think it would be gorgeous over creme d’ nude or Marquise’d from the wonder woman collection. Congrats, I can’t wait to pick this up! 🙂 How long will it be available?

Makeup Morsels says
May 31st, 2011 at 12:19 pmLOL I think you’ve covered all the MAC combos 😀 Thanks for including full face photos+up close swatches+product shots, that must have taken awhile! I think this would look really gorgeous over your Estee Lauder lipliner in Tawny…if you ever want to try that out~

May 31st, 2011 at 12:53 pmI really wanted to make Ravishing lipstick work for me, but it looked too neon on me. I ended up buying Shy Girl lipstick instead. I think Evolution Revolution would go really well with Shy Girl lipstick.

May 31st, 2011 at 1:53 pmWow, I would have never thought this color would be so versatile! I actually don’t have any lipglasses so I will have to get this one. As for pairings, what about a slightly pink nude lip by pairing creme cup lipstick and evolution revolution. I think that would be really pretty and neutral for everyday or with a smokey eye.

Instant Karma says
May 31st, 2011 at 7:45 pmThey all look great! However, now I’m a little sad that by the time I placed my MAC order, Hibiscus was already gone. I’ll just have to do some experimentation of my own!
I’m so happy for you, and my happiness cannot be contained by one comment on the original post, lol. I’ll spare you the cheesy rambling about how proud all your readers are of you, and just say once again that this is super exciting. 🙂
However, I think MAC should’ve given you at least one more product so that Tabs could get his own shade! Everyone could have tabby eyes with a light yellow-green satin eyeshadow. I can see the ad copy now. There’d be a model in a brown striped dress, with the Tabs shadow perfectly accenting a bold cat eye. Below her, it’d say, “Tabs for MAC — So Beautiful, Your Cat Will Forget How Tragically Hairless You Are.”
Aaaand with that, it’s entirely possible that it’s time for me to go to bed, lol. Congrats again! 😀

I placed my order on 5/26 and received my organizer on 5/31. It is very well made and so pretty. Seller is really nice too.

I noticed a few people also asked questions about what you were wearing on your eyes. I was wondering the same thing!
Could do a tutorial on this very natural eye look. (or maybe list what you used). I like the unglittery-ness of it, which is just what I need as a 46 soon to be 47 year old makeup addict! Thank you Karen!!!
