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.

MAC Dare you (Cremesheen) Lipstick on medium to dark Indian Skintone

Hi Girls!

I am happy to write about another red lipstick from MAC called 'Dare You'. This one is from the same Editorial Red Palette which I first wore on my birthday a week ago.

The lipstick is a deep brownish red color making it suitable for all skin tones. As the lipstick says, it's of creme-sheen finish. It's very soft on application as it has the creamy texture and has a glossy look to it.

• Keeps the lips moisturized
• Do not feel heavy on lips, can apply couple of layers
• Can stay for good 5 - 6 hours if lip pencil is used as first layer.
• Has a slight fragrance which you can feel while applying, but nothing after that

I used the lip color from the palette of 6 Editorial Reds from MAC that totally costed me 40 USD. I believe the price of regular lipstick is 16 USD (3g). 

Anyone who like to wear red can give a try, and it's suitable for office too. Does not look too bright or give a ghostly look.

I have used Estee Lauder Foundation and powder to brighten up my face so that lip-color can pop out. I am not good on eye makeup tried to have a neutral look with a black eye liner.

I will try to have the swatches of all reds from the palette and post it separately. This is how Dare You looks on me.
