What's your fave Mac lipstick?

Need some inspo 💋

Chili.
Perfect balance or red and orange without the pink tones or the purple/blue you tend to get in most reds. It’s usually one or the other and I suit neither (although I do have Russian red and it’s ok - not my favourite but not awful). The orange tones in the chili makes all the difference for me.

I’m a very pale redhead and it suits me better than every other shade I have tried. I also know it’s a lipstick that works well with Asian/ Indian skin tones (well from the people I know personally- I know not every Asian person has the same skin tone). I know it really doesn’t suit my friend who has more typical ‘white person who tans easily but can look a but pale in the winter’ and has brown hair and eyes. I’m not sure how it would work on much deeper skin tones but I think the orange tones in it might work well.

Chilli or Whirl but I prefer Lancôme Poeme

Oh Mehr is lovely too

Ooh good timing! I'm thinking of buying Retro Satin, but it looks really pink on the virtual try-on. Is it?

I’ve ordered Stay Curious, I’m getting impatient though as I ordered it at the weekend but it’s still not been dispatched 😂

I've finally bought 3, I remember Girl about town being my first proper lipstick, usually before then I'd wear dark ones, a bit goth but this bright pink was my first step out of that and I loved it. My mum bought it for me for Christmas with a matching lip liner. I think that was about 15 years ago.

Patisserie or Brave

Costa chic

My Stay Curious was supposed to be delivered today but it’s not arrived, it’s still due for delivery today (it’s now gone 9pm so I very much doubt it) according to the Royal Mail app

I dont know what to get! I'm pale but Celtic pale as in almost blue tinged, not creamy pale.

I want a nude (that doesnt look too peachy or too frosted and back to the 70s), and a muted browny pink with a kind of 90s vibe.

Can anyone help?! I'm looking at Spirit, some of the Viva Glams, Honey Love

@GoldfishParade I'm the same, that blue tinged Irish skin with dark hair. I love Blankety, it's a pinky nude that doesn't wash me out at all. It's also a beautiful opaque finish.

Have you had a play around in the app where you can try on the colours ?

Not being able to get to a counter & try makes it so difficult.
Can anyone suggest things please?
I’m very pale but that cream pale not pink. I was a redhead but went completely white in my twenties. Eyes are a turquoise colour.
Anything plum or blue pink makes me look like death. Online a suggestion was Vegas Volt which I ordered & love it.
Can you suggest any others that lean warm pink, no blue or mauve tone, or any coral ones. I need that bright warm tone. I’d love a natural everyday nude that doesn’t wash me out but can’t seem to find one.

I can't wear anything with blue tones, and I'm also pale with green eyes so not sure if these help but I find reddish browns suit me more, although I can't do 'bright' and def not bright pink

Twig
Brick o la
Chilli ( very brave for me but it suits my colour)
Velvet teddy.

Mull It Over is really lovely and there’s also Down To An Art, these are probably as close to a warm toned nude as I’ve tried. I can’t wear cool blue tones so Vegas Volt is an absolute favourite of mine, another coral you might want to try is Tropic Tonic which is very like it but a matte. I’ve recently discovered Runway Hit too which is a great shade with my warm skin tone.

It’s quite difficult as I find that more lipsticks are suited to cool tones.

This is making me so nostalgic - I used to covert MAC lipsticks back in my 20s, such a fun thing to go and browse the counter - those were the days! The only one I have in my collection now is Faux, it's just such a gorgeous nude .. I slowly culled all my others over the past few years. I used to love Lady Danger but don't think I have the confidence for that now. I basically wear tinted lip oils now and hardly ever lipstick - but this has made me want to buy a couple of new ones - I think I'm going to go for Brave as always loved that one but never owned it

Thank you justgeton & MadisonAvenue I’ll go & look at those.
