so I have swatched some onto white paper and the ones that didn't take too well due to lighting or low pigment I have just taken a picture of the bullet.īear in mind, when you go to a MAC store don't assume the colour in the bullet, is going to look the same on your lip. Im not a huge fan of the close up lip in photographs any how.
The ones that suit certain skin tones more, the most popular among brides and so on.įor the purpose of this post, Im not going to take photographs of me wearing them. So, I have compiled a little list of the ones I tend to use most on jobs. People want to know what MAC Lipstick will suit a fair skin / Dark skin / NC30 skin / Best bridal MAC lipstick. The colour is sheer so its perfect for days when you don’t want an obvious colour on your cheeks but still need to look bright.I've been doing a little blog research today, and it seems people are obsessed, yes, obsessed with MAC Lipsticks. Well Dressed is a satin dirty mauve pink blush with cool tones. They add a pop of colour which makes you look awake and bright. But if you have ever tried the warm rule then you know cool toned blush work as instant pick me up shades. Okay enough of warm blushes! Who says Indians need to have warm blushes? Okay they work well with our yellow skin tone. Every girls needs a red blush….even just to look at. Its the kind of flush you get in cold Delhi weather.
It translates to a soft rose red on cheeks. Once in a while we like to venture out in the dangerous category just to have some fun….and colour. Who’s bored of pinks and browns and corals? Meeee! We Indians are not about only everyday safe blushes.
But once it shows up, you fall in love with the warm flush. Since it is sheertone, it is a little weak in the pigmentation department like Mac Peaches. It may end up looking a little muddy on fair skin. Its a dirty rose coral which in my opinion works best on darker skin tones. Go overboard and you end up looking like a disco light! 8. Apply it with a feather touch and it will make you look like a sun kissed goddess starlet. You know as they say “excess of everything is bad”. The shimmer is quite visible when you apply it which in turns gives a bronze glow. Mac describes it as a “muted rose” shade. Excuse me! Its a rose gold brown with tiny little gold flecks. Its one of those blushes which work really well for Indian weddings and functions where we are always dragged to meet and get crushed by a 100 punjabi aunties. Which is exactly what this blush colour is about.
What do you think of when you hear doll? I think of pinks and bows. Its one of those shades you must have for late night outs. The shimmer isn’t much but gives a nice coral sheen as the name suggests. Mac Springsheen is a mix of rose and coral with a hint of golden shimmer. Now we have a blush which doubles up as a highlighter. Alright alright! Bottom line: it suits us Indians and works well as a matte warm everyday blush. You get what I mean? Its like Melba but you replace the peach with mauve. Most of us Indians don’t blush in pink but brown peach. It has enough yellow which our Indian skin needs but with a little hint of peach which translates to a natural flush.
More of a very warm peach although it looks brown in the pan.
