MAC Plumful lipstick on medium Indian skintone

Hello ladies,

Today I am writing about my experience with another lipstick from MAC called Plumful. Yee yee !

I have collected several of MAC lipsticks and still haven't worn few of them. I tried Plumful couple of months after my purchase.

Price - 16 USD 3gm. Not sure about the price in India. Could be over 1000 right now.

About the lipstick:
MAC describes this as Blooming Rose Plum. Well this belong to Lustre finish family. As the name says the lipstick is a beautiful pinkish plum. It's a beautiful color suiting all Indian skin tone from fair, medium to deep. Although the color on lips look different on various skin tone. I am an NC45 of MAC just to give you an idea.

The lipstick texture is smooth, slightly sheer with mild vanilla fragrance which is present on most of the MAC lipsticks. Application is smooth and build-able to very opaque look. I have simply covered my lips with lip balm as usual and lined my lips. It's neither dry nor super shiny. All time wearable, suitable for workplace as well.

Lipstick lasted on me for good 3 hours. It didn't bleed even in hot humid climate of Kerala. After that I still had the color stain of lipstick for couple more hours after which I retouched before going out for dinner.

I loved wearing this. Girls go grab yours now.

MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick - So Good on Indian skintone

Hello Girls !

MAC Mineralize rich lipsticks have become so popular and have received positive feedback in the past several months. I already have two of them and have posted my feedback about Lush Life and All out gorgeous. I picked up a different color this time called "So Good" as I could not find any grape/purple shade in this collection.

Price & Quantity: 3.6 g (0.12 Oz) costing $22. Think it's Approx.Rs 1650 in India . MAC regular lipsticks costs $16. Mineralize rich lipsticks are pricey making it the only disadvantage.

Color & Texture:

In tube it looked a bit like Fuchsia Pink. When I tried a swatch on back of my hand it looked like cool magenta which was beautiful. On my lips it appears like a deep magenta color. You might find So Good similar to Rebel but it's not. I will add another post comparing both these colors. So Good comes in the chubby lipstick case and looks classy. The lipstick has mild Vanilla fragrance like many other MAC lipstick has which vanishes soon after you apply. It's so smooth on application, great pigmentation and coverage on single swipe. You can build it up to more intense Magenta with multiple swipes. I used a lip brush this time. The finish has slight gloss/shine to it which goes off in an hour. It doesn't dry your lips.

It's staying power is pretty good too. I had it on for around 5 hours. I had several coffee and water too. It didn't transfer much which is a good think.I didn't had to reapply after lunch the color stain was there throughout the day.


I wore a deep green sweater and did green eyes, I think I over did with this bright lipstick. I will try to keep my eye makeup minimal when I wear this lipstick again.
