Which is yours? Mine varies between Creme In Your Coffee and Ruby Woo depending on my mood. Good days I'm a Ruby Woo, not so good I'm a Creme In Your Coffee.

Craving, which is a pinkish plum.

Just discovered www.temptalia.com having read this thread - it has a great library of swatches and dupes.

RealHousewifeOfPontypandy · 22/05/2017 20:58

Twig for day time

Girl about town for evening

sallywiththegoodhurr · 22/05/2017 21:01

@ReluctantlyRedundant101 Velvet teddy and Mehr are my absolute favourites! Especially Mehr (I'm pale and mousy)

Branleuse · 22/05/2017 21:05

chili. its a gorgeous browny red

Kenworthington · 22/05/2017 21:08

Taupe- it's a brilliant nude
Lady danger
Smoked purple

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 22/05/2017 21:58

Oh sallywiththegoodhurr that's good to know! Any other recommendations?

Botanicbaby · 22/05/2017 23:27

Russian Red if I had to choose one.

See Sheer if I can choose another. Lovely fresh clear watermelon shine, not at all drying.

bananafish81 · 22/05/2017 23:56

I got married in Lady Danger

Apparently RuPaul's favourite shade!

My hair is now a different colour so doesn't really suit me - but it's a cracking shade with a bleach blonde barnet

LoupGarou · 23/05/2017 00:11

MyDressIsBold Temptalia is amazing isn't it? I could get lost for hours. I'm currently having fun trying out all different dupes and have found some amazing new products because of it!

teawamutu · 24/05/2017 16:22

Does Ruby Woo suit anyone? I fell in love with Lady Danger because have always wanted to wear red lipstick but on, it always feels too harsh.

Blacksquirrel · 24/05/2017 17:34

Bought my 1st Mac lipstick last week!

Fast play. Love it

Pistachiois50pmore · 24/05/2017 17:36

See Sheer or Taupe.

I'm over red lips having made myself sick on them 2003-2013 but I do just about prefer Ruby Woo to Russian Red. It's harder to work with but more extreme and complex a colour somehow.

Pistachiois50pmore · 24/05/2017 17:37

Oh and I'm NC25, dark brown almost black hair and brown eyes

Ohgodno123 · 24/05/2017 22:33

Another freckly mousey celt here so I've just added Mehr to my wishlist! Syrup is my favourite, followed closely by Brave.

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 25/05/2017 08:07

Give Velvet Teddy a go Ohgod the girl at the counter couldn't believe how much it suited mousy me!

Ohgodno123 · 25/05/2017 08:17

That's interesting Reluctantly - to me it looks like the type of colour that would wash me out - I'm very monotone anyway with my pale lips, skin and eyes. But I'll add it to the list to try! I'm getting some dental work done at the moment so I'm not wearing lipstick as I don't want to draw attention to my mouth, so I think I'm going to throw a few quid in a jar every week and go on a lipstick splurge when it's finished!

glitterglitters · 25/05/2017 08:19

All Fired Up and Vegas Volt. Thinking about a sneaky purchase of Brave as well

glitterglitters · 25/05/2017 08:20

I'm nc30 brunette with blonde bayalage and olive toned skin and brown eyes x

Ohgodno123 · 26/05/2017 10:04

I was a bit naughty and ordered a few lipsticks online yesterday after reading this thread - they arrived today. Velvet Teddy is lovely so thanks for the recommendation - a nude that actually suits my pale, freckley and mousey colouring. It really makes my blue eyes stand out. Mehr is also nice - it's a good staple "work lipstick" for me. It's very similar shade to Brave on my lips - just a bit more matte and less pink. In hindsight I didn't really need it but it will be used.

Crosswires is a perfect summer shade - love it! And Rebel is gorgeous but I'm not convinced it suits me. It's so much darker than I'm used to - I'll see how it looks with make-up as I'm not wearing much today. I do need a lip liner with it though - can anyone recommend one? Preferably a cheaper one as I think I've spent enough on make-up for the moment!

Now they'll sit on my dressing table for a couple of months until I get my hideous braces off - can't wait!

Nabootique · 26/05/2017 10:32

I only have four, but Captive is my favourite of the ones I have (also have Mehr, All Fired Up and Relentlessly Red, and I do like all of them). I also have a wishlist of another 11 though!

Deathraystare · 26/05/2017 15:36

Vegas volt, plunful, see sheer, chatter box, speak louder. Mac are not my favourite lipsticks though.

Za1ny · 26/05/2017 15:39

Whirl and taupe!

I've actually got rid of most of my mac lipsticks (konmari) but I kept them two shades.

whosebootsaretheseshoes · 26/05/2017 20:41

Lady danger. I like Ruby Woo for nights out, but mine doesn't apply very smoothly.

Abetes · 26/05/2017 20:49

Twig or Retro

RandomWordsandaNumber5 · 26/05/2017 20:54

Lady Danger or Russian Red for the evening. And Morange for daytime.
I love Mac. If you take 6 plastic empties back to Mac, you get a free lipstick. I've had lots but then I buy a lot!
