Lip Combo: MAC Courting Lilac Lipstick + Gone Romancin' Dazzleglass Creme

Just for Fun: MAC Courting Lilac + Gone Romancin’

I think these two worked together really well, because they complement each other without overwhelming the other.  The most surprising part about this combination is how the gold sheen from Courting Lilac still peeks through despite the more opaque Gone Romancin’ dazzleglass creme.

Have you discovered any must-try lip combos from Tartan Tale?

I have full fuchsia, I didn’t get a Dazzleglass Creme, but I want radiant jewels, but every time I stop by Mac to get it I change my mind, do you think this combo will work? and do you recommend I get radiant jewels? what Dazzleglass Creme would you recommend, the lipsticks I have from the collection are full fuchsia, deepest wish and cut a caper

I am so glad you posted this! I was at the MAC counter in Macys about a week ago and the SA there was wearing this combo and she recommended it to me and I love it! It is beautiful and you wear these colors well! I am glad she told me about it. That and Cut-A-Caper. I wasn’t planning to get anything from this collection but of everything I saw, these three items were my favorites!Thanks Christine!

OH NOOOOOOO I had convinced myself that I don’t need Courting Lilac in my life, but now you got to make me rethink that AND also want Gone Romancin’??? whyyyyyyyyy lol

This is a really beautiful lip combo. I’ve been meaning to pick up Gone Romancin’, but just haven’t gotten around to it yet, looks like such a beautiful gloss!

I would be sooo happy if this combo looked similar on me. For some reason, Courting Lilac (and most purply colors like Aristocat, Purple Rite, etc) do not look purply on me…they look like some weird dark bronze color. I’ve even tried using them under or over more pinky colored lipsticks and with light pink/purple lipglasses over them. So I’m not sure how to fix the problem on me. But I’m pretty pale and cool toned with medium pigmented lips.

i LOOOOVE this combo! I actually wore it today with matching smokey eyes… Fresco Rose paint pot as a base, Trax all over the lid, Fig. 8 in the crease and outer corner, and Phloof as highlighter.

Hey Christine…I got Courting Lilac but apparently in any light other than at MAC, it makes me look ill, almost corpse-like. I’m cool-toned, lots of pink in my cheeks with medium gold blond hair. Is it just not meant to be between me and Courting Lilac or is there something I can layer it with? (for the record, I also got Cut a Caper and it looks awesome with Dainty on the cheeks–so thank you for that!)

Very nice! I’ve already got Courting lilac, love it! But I didn’t take Romancin’ in the same time, I wasn’t decided because of my Nico lipglass…. But now, maybe this time….
What do you think about the Nico lipglass instead of the Romancin’ dazzleglass, to pair with the Courting lilac lipstick ?
Thanks

This is beautiful. My natural lip pigment is so dark, I have a hard time wearing colors like these… Maybe I can give it a try…. Christine – any helpful ideas for me?

Christine Avatar

Hmm, you could try patting on concealer or foundation on the lip, or you could use a lip liner in a more neutral tone to try to mute your natural pigmentation. Part of me wants to say try green concealer… if only because green cancels out red!

UGGH! You totally sold me on this look, so I just went on MAC’s sight to get it. Apparently, you may have sold it on everyone else, cuz Courting Lilac is all…sold…out! ARRGH!

Patience is a vertue. I’ll keep checking. GREAT LOOK on you Christine!

I tried Courting Lilac yesterday and it doesn’t look anything like this on me because my lip color is darker :/ It ends up looking like a deep purple which I’m not a fan of. QQ!

I was trying to leave this combo alone and then I find this blog post. I’m so glad it’s sold out online. Trying to buy nothing but that bear from TT. OMG this combo is beautiful.

Rachael Avatar

Very pretty combo. I bought Gone Romancin’ Dazzleglass Creme as well and I just love it, it’s such a gorgeous color and different from any color I already have.

Jennifer Avatar

I bought these two with the intent of wearing them together, and also Full Fuchsia and Radiant Jewels for the same thing. These lilac colours are gorgeous, I think they are probably my fave lip colours EVER so far. They seem to compliment my skin tone really well. I’d never have tried them if I hadn’t seen your swatches so thanks Christine! xx

Wow, I just picked these two up today without seeing this post. 🙂 I’m very excited to try it. Maybe for work tomorrow. Thanks Christine, I’m even more excited about my purchase now. 🙂
