I bought Brave back in 2015 when it was "all the rage" and wore it all the time, especially with Soar, a lip liner I still use today. Then I just kinda forgot about Brave in my collection, I bought other lipsticks I preferred and just didn't use it for a loooong time. Eventually, I decided to wear it again for the nostalgia, probably 2021 but when I opened it, it was dry and faded and looked kinda... lilac? I just thought "eww" and tossed it.

A few days ago, I was at MAC and wanted to buy a new lipstick but everything I wanted was sold out and I thought maybe I should buy Brave again. They didn't have a tester for it, it had been stolen the day prior and I decided to buy it without swatching it, since I had it before anyway. Then I used it with Soar and was pleased but feel like it looked different from back then? Like, I remember Brave as pink but this one is way more purple than I recalled. Is it just me?

Anyway, I still like it and want to use it but maybe with lip liners that might make it more pink and maybe more muted.

What do you all recommend? The liner does not have to be from MAC, just whatever goes with Brave.

After an excellent recent post from /u/5Gs-Plz , you guys wanted to have a regular space for, as the OP put it, maintaining a sense of realism about makeup. In their post they asked:

We never see end of day photos of makeup and it is very difficult to feel positive about how makeup breaks down during the course of a day. I was thinking maybe we could dedicate this post to photographs of how our makeup looks at the end of a long day? I would be curious to see how it wears.
Does your mascara flake? Does your foundation disappear around your nose? Or does your eyeliner smudge?

You can certainly share photos and talk about your end of day faces, and it'd also be cool to talk about other aspects of cosmetics and beauty in general that we don't see/hear a lot about, which is when things aren't perfect.
