MAC Matte Lipstick Collection 2015 - Swatches on NC45 - Olive Skintone

Hello Girls,

I am back with a backlogged post, which I should have posted months ago. This time it's MAC's raved new Matte lipsticks during this spring. Lovely shades and I liked most of them but picked four out of it. They are priced at $17 and have their signature Vanilla fragrance out of tube.

All the shades I picked would work very well with Medium to deep Indian Skin tone. I am like NC45 olive skintone.

MAC All Fired Up - It's retro matte (very dry) and described as Bright Fuchsia which is right but pink/red mixture a pretty color for all skin colors although the outcome would vary from person to person.

MAC D for Danger is a Red lipstick with tint of orange to it. It's matte but not too dry like All fired up. Picture soon....

Flat out fabulous is another favorite of mine, it's retro matte, bright plum+fuchsia mix a cool color. Good summer wear.

MAC describes this as deep blackened plum with a mix of wine/burgundy on it. Don't be afraid of the color from the tube, the actual color pay off on lips are good. It would look different on different skin tone. On me it looked nice and people at work even complimented me. Pictures coming soon.

Finally here are the swatches.

MAC Diva lipstick on medium deep Indian skintone

Hello girls,

MAC Diva lipstick is one other most applauded lip color by all. I bought this lipstick in US couple of months ago when I visited. I finally had a chance to try it this week. I had several lipsticks to try and I couldn't wear this. 

Price: 16 USD (3g), current price in India would be over 1,000 INR.

About the lipstick: MAC describes this lipstick as "Intense reddish burgundy". Diva is a deep burgundy color with a tint of redness to it. Dark side and Diva might look alike however there is slight difference in the color and big difference in the texture. Diva is Matte finish lipstick, although I didn't find it dry on my lips. Application is easy, either from tube or with brush. One layer is sufficient to many I did one light layer with brush, took it off on tissue and then applied second layer directly from tube and blended. Using a lip liner defines the lip line well, I used MAC Beet liner.

It stayed on for 5 hours without meal, leaving behind the color which lasted throughout the day. You can apply power supply gloss from MAC, on top of it if required for a party look. Here is a post.

MAC Diva suits all medium to deep Indian skin tone very well. I was matched to NC45 of MAC last fall. All purple, plum, berry shades suit me very well including some red.

Below is the lipstick swatch  and me wearing it !

Pictures look different from different ankle with light! I am wearing Estee Lauder DW Lite #5 Foundation, Estee Lauder Blackened Black Kajal.
