MAC lipstick recommendations?

[hannnnnnnxo]

I’m whittling down my large makeup collection and have a fair few MAC products to recycle and can get 3 free lipsticks in return. The thing is, I actually own a ridiculous amount of MAC lipsticks and most of them don’t suit me, like brights and limited edition ones. So I want to get some lipsticks that I will actually wear this time!

I’m looking for nude lipsticks and would appreciate recommendations. Honeylove/velvet teddy/blankety are about the darkest I can go before a nude looks awful on me. I like myth, hue, cremecup, angel etc. I haven’t been keeping up to date with Mac so I’m not sure if there are any newer releases that are fab?

Satin lipstick in Faux is lovely.

MAC test on animals so I wouldn't use them at all! Can you replace with another brand?

Thank you both. Funnily enough I already own faux! I was also unaware that Mac test on animals!

I always liked cherish satin

I was surprised too @hannnnnnnxo

It's because they sell in China- any cosmetics sold in China HAVE to be tested on animals under Chinese law.

I'm trying to be a bit more conscious when buying toiletries etc so have been doing lots of research. So many big brands test

Mac do not test on animals at all, the Chinese government do www.maccosmetics.co.uk/animaltesting

Would highly recommend Velvet Teddy if you don't already have it, looks gorgeous on all skin tones.

My colouring is soft summer, so I look best in cool, muted tones and my absolute go-to lipstick is Mac Mehr.

It's irrelevant who does the testing. MAC allows testing of its products on animals so it can sell more products and make more money.

Brave is a really nice colour goes with everything

Of course it's relevant who does the testing.

The fact they allow their products to be tested on animals is enough

Patisserie is my fave. Just a really lovely, sheer neutral. Modesty and Faux are nice too.

Patisserie is my favourite too.

I really like New York Apple for Autumn/ winter

Another vote for velvet teddy

Thanks all

Patisserie is gorgeous, I did like it in store earlier! However I ended up recycling my empty products for Cherish, Brave and Shrimpton (which I’ve never seen before but it’s lovely!)

I will definitely look into the animal testing aspect of the brand, unfortunately I already visited the store before I saw the replies here. I suppose all the Estée Lauder brands have the same policy too which is a shame

Haha I already have velvet teddy too, I don’t really like it on me though.
