This is the Kim Kardashian-style soft nude for Indian skin which is not too loud but also not very graphic or pale-just neutral, skin-like, brown, and somewhat fleshy in colour.įinish and texture: The payoff is lightweight, and the formulation feels expensive and comfortable when worn. M.A.C Matte Lipstick in Velvet TeddyĬolour: A cross between M.A.C’s description of it as a ‘deep-toned beige’ and a warm brown, this is the perfect brown-toned nude lipstick for middle-of-the-colour wheel skin tones. It has all the qualities of a true matte lipstick but without the patchiness, flaking, or dryness. The texture is smooth but not oily, and the payoff is solid matte with no shine.

M.A.C describes it as a dirty rose shade but that characteristic pops best on dusky to dark skin tones, not light.įinish and texture: Imagine applying a room-temperature chocolate bar to your lips-this lipstick feels like that. M.A.C Matte Lipstick in WhirlĬolour: On dark skin, this looks like a dark pink with hints of brown but on light skin, it’s a warm, rosy brown. However, the lipstick isn’t slippery or creamy-matte, and stays in the comfortable matte territory. The finish is soft matte and there’s a tiny hint of creaminess. Think of it as Mehr’s lighter cousin minus the brown undertones but with a little bit of beige thrown in.įinish and texture: A much more comfortable to wear formula than the Retro Mattes, this shade gives opaque and full coverage but without looking clay-ey. M.A.C Matte Lipstick in Please MeĬolour: A sweet and warm pink which is not too loud or neon-hued, this has just enough pink pigment to not wash you out, but is still muted enough to qualify as a nude. The finish is shiny but without compromising on the opacity of the colour.

Else, it shows up as a rosy brown or a dirty pink in which the coolness of the pink is undercut by mocha undertones.įinish and texture: The perfect formula for an ‘everyday nude’ lipstick which feels comfortable to wear for long periods, this creamy lipstick glides on and gives full coverage in one swipe. M.A.C Satin Lipstick in TwigĬolour: M.A.C calls it a warm mauve, and it looks more or less like that on most people. Our advice would be to soften the payoff with a lip balm, and to never apply this on lips which are flaky or dry. The lipstick drags as you apply it, so the finish is a bit cakey and it is going to settle into the lines of your lips. The colour payoff is graphic so you get a saturated, bold look.įinish and texture: As matte as M.A.C lipsticks get, this formula is completely opaque, solid, and dry, much like Ruby Woo.

MAC Electric Wonder Lustre Lipstick in Lets Mesa RoundĬolour: Described by M.A.C as a light nude, this peachy-pink neutral can also be described as a very pale coral.
