\nAfter Lady Gaga<\/em> and Nicki Minaj<\/em>, next up in line to be on the Viva Glam Wall of Fame<\/em> is Rihanna. After collaborating on several collections for the makeup brand, they ultimately decided to also make her the face for Viva Glam 2014. For 2014 MAC and Rihanna came out with a frosty Red, ready to take the world by storm…<\/p>\n

The lipstick comes in a beautiful, almost velvet-y looking muted Red bullet. I love how unique and different that makes the entire lipstick feel. Once you take the lid off, you’ll find Rihanna’s signature on the twist-part of the bullet. A Viva Glam standard.<\/p>\n

I think MAC’s Viva Glam Rihanna<\/em> would be best described as a bright, slightly muted, Neutral-Red with a frost finish. It’s bright, but still a wearable type of bright. I think the frost finish of this lipstick is what will make lots of people swoon over it, as it gives the lips a luscious sheen. Normally frosty lipsticks are a huge no-go, but with this I feel like it enhances the lips, instead of making them look like frosted nightmare.<\/p>\n

Viva Glam Rihanna is richly pigmented and a little bit goes a long way. I also liked application with this a lot, as it glided in on like a dream and was very easy to work with. However for staying-power this has a lot to be desired. The creamy and frosty texture makes this lipstick easier to glide and wipe off. I got around 3 hours of wear out of this before needing a much needed touch-up.<\/p>\n

THE VERDICT<\/h2>\n

I’m not as blown away by this lipstick as I expected to. It’s a pretty, wearable Red that’ll suit a lot of complexions. It’s pretty, but safe<\/em>. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/em> it is that safe is not always that<\/em> good. I also wish it would have had a little bit more staying-power as it won’t last you longer than an hour or 3. Other than that: It’s a fun, safe color and a nice addition to your collection. But I’m not gobsmacked amazed by it.<\/p>\n
