Anyone tried MAC Whirl or Twig lipsticks?

[Honey1975]

I want to buy a MAC mini lipstick to get me free delivery on my Debenhams order.

I’ve always fancied trying a Mac lipstick and have narrowed it down to either Twig or Whirl.

I have olivey skin, brown eyes and hair.

Can anone recommend either of these colours?

I've tried both and prefer Twig, it looks more natural and has a slight pink/mauve time to it whereas Whirl is a lot darker and more brown in it.

i had exact same debate with the mini size, its nice to try the smaller ones. i ordered without trying and just went on swatches i searched for on make up blogs etc got twig in the end.

its more natural mauve/ deeper pink as PP said. i think it would really suit you.

i have very dark brown hair or reddish black when coloured, quire pale (yellow undertones) and lighter brown eyes and i love it.

I prefer twig too.
Whirl always makes my mouth look too much like a cat’s bum

I've got Twig and like it for night time - too dark for day. Love the minis - such a good way to try a new shade.

Velvet Teddy still my favourite though.

Ooh what’s velvet teddy like Remus? Are you similar colouring to me? Sounds like whirl isn’t the one, maybe too dark..

Pale, a bit sallow, dark eyes and hair.

VT is a perfect daytime shade in a sort of 'My lips but better' way. I love it - best lipstick I've ever bought.

Is it very nude? I find anything too nude contributes to my washed out look.

The other mini they have on Debs website is Mehr - anyone know what that’s like?

My dd likes Mehr - it's quite pink iirc.

VT isn't too nude.

I find Whirl too dark - I still wear it but have to just dab it on and mix it with a lighter nude. Velvet Teddy is my favourite, it's a dark-ish nude. Mehr is a flattering pink.

My favourites are Velvet Teddy and Faux

Oh I don’t know which to go for! They all sound lovely!

@Honey1975 I know it's been awhile since you wrote you're post but I'm currently in the same predicament as you were 😭
Which Mac lipstick did you go for in the end? I have the same skin, eyes and hair shade as you by the sounds of it... Any help would be much appreciated 😊

i use twig everyday have used about 20 of them, it's a great shade

@Processedpea thank you so much for you're reply, I keep looking at a few shades but keep coming back to Twig and thinking it the one I should get x

Another vote for Twig!

Thank you @MrsSchadenfreude

I have twig and I love it! Have Whirl lip liner and it's a nice colour I wear them together

Velvet teddy is my favourite though, it's anit lighter than Twig x

Just ordering it now, so excited!
Thank you ladies, it's going to the first Mac lipstick I own 🙈

I've had a few light nudes from other company's but just doesn't seem to show up on my lips, unless I point out to friends I have lipstick on they wouldn't know or comment that's why I'm thinking of trying Mac as I've heard so much about their lipsticks and shades
