I understand there’s this whole thing that Whirl is a extremely “Kylie Jenner lips” color (as if she developed it ? ), as well as yes, it’s absolutely one of those lipsticks that will assist you get that certain look. In fact, whenever a good friend asks me for a Kylie Jenner lips recommendation, first, I try not to outwardly groan… Then, I suggest MAC Whirl. however really, though, whenever I see Whirl, I believe a lot more of ’90s supermodels like Linda as well as Christy as well as Cindy. It has a extremely early Bobbi brown chicness to it IMO, as well as I like ? it.
There’s likewise one more reason why I like it… since it’s similar to the color of my gums.
Yes, I recognize that that is an strange thing to like about a nude lipstick, however I’m checking out my gums here, as well as it truly is the color of my gums. (Side note: I’m not gonna show you my gums. Hi-res pics of my gums do not requirement to exist on the Internet.)
Maybe that’s why Whirl is the utmost nude lipstick for so lots of people. It matches the color of their gums, ha ha ha! Anyway, right here it is on lighter skin as well as darker skin.

Whirl is likewise a color chameleon, as well as depending upon the illumination as well as exactly how much you’re wearing, it can either look like a dark rosy brown if you apply a sheer layer (in that case, it’s like browner version of Mehr), or a true brown like Paramount with a heavier application.
Whirl is a consummate flat matte, as well as it feels thicker on my lips than velvet Teddy or Mehr. One thing you can do if you discover that it looks as well thick as well as heavy on your lips is to very first coat your bottom lip with a heavy layer, as well as then press your lips together to transfer the lipstick from one lip to the other. Then, pat whatever down with a finger. That will smooth it into a seamless surface that doesn’t look as well heavy. ?
Whirl! provide it a Whirl, as well as unleash your inner ’90s supermodel.
