The teenage version of Cindy Kimberly would be extra proud to know that she has officially achieved her goal of becoming a MAC girl. The model took to her Instagram this week to share her latest achievement with her followers, and posted a few new snapshots to accompany her dream come true.

In the cover image of Kimberly’s Instagram ad with Zalando and MAC Cosmetics, the model was seen holding a pink lip liner in a dusty shade, which was marvelously set against her gloss-free lips. Her look in this close-up highlighted all her features, from her clean and perfectly arched eyebrows to her lightly brushed eyelashes.

As for the second still, Kimberly continued to rock the natural look, but this time while taking a selfie in her bedroom. The carefree pose, effortless makeup and cool setting of the snapshot gave the vibe of a 2010s-era model. Last but not least, the final shot featured yet another close-up of Kimberly—only this time, a light coat of shiny balm took center stage, adding new dimension to the look.

In her interview with Zalando, Kimberly divulged all about her lip combo: a heavily requested look that her fans have been inquiring about ever since she first debuted it.

“So, this is actually a well-kept secret of the internet,” the model expressed. “Everyone wants to know what my MAC lip pencil is, and they always get it wrong. Everyone thinks it’s ‘Whirl’—which I also love—but it’s actually ‘Plum’ and a clear gloss. I also really like ‘Chestnut,’ and I love ‘Soar.’ ‘Soar’ is for when I’m feeling like a cutie-pie, but ‘Plum’ is for when I want to feel sexy.”

Lip gloss

A plumping gloss that starts your look with a bang. The Lipglass Air gloss ($26) or the Lipglass Blow Plumping Oil ($28) are must-haves for when you want your lip look to be a conversation starter. The Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick ($26) is another suitable option. If you’re feeling fancy, build as much as your desire for an even more dramatic look.

Lip liner

MAC
MAC / MAC

A gorgeous lip liner will bring your entire look together. This Lipglazer Glossy Liner ($25) practically does all the work for you. Take the smooth lip product to line the shape of your mouth, and you’re good to go.

And don’t just stop at one lip liner, especially because there are days when you’ll want to shake it up. Add a Lip Pencil ($25) in “Soar” or “Plum” to have more choices.

Matte lipstick

MAC / MAC

Not much of a gloss person? That’s perfectly fine because there are moments where nothing comes in handy more than a matte or satin lipstick.

The Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick ($25) is great for neutral glam moments. When you want to make a bold statement, go red using the Macximal Silky Mini Matte Lipstick ($16) in “Ruby Woo.” Other shades worth trying include “Diva“ and “Warm Teddy“.
