Flat out Fabulous

This is a Barbie pink color, and surprisingly, it looks good on warm skin tones! If you look at the shade, you can easily misjudge it, but it’s a bright pinky-purplish color. But it is a bright shade, a perfect shade for a chulbuli girl.

The shade is matte, but it keeps the lips moist for 5-6 hours. After that, you may need to re-apply. Bored with reds and pinks? Try flat-out fabulous and look fabulous!

Captive

This is a purplish-pinkish shade. This Mauvy shade will flatter medium to dark skin tones. The texture is creamy and glides easily. It gives a semi-matte finish, and the formula doesn’t dry out the lips nor make those fine lines on the lips.

It’s highly pigmented and Lasts Up to 5 hours. You need to reapply after a meal. Also, it leaves a pinkish stain after cleansing the lips.

It’s not a very dark shade nor light; it comes in the middle category. But it’s a well-known and loved color. (Whenever you buy MAC lipstick, it is recommended to go to the store to try it out and then buy it because it looks different on different skin tones).

Heaux Retro

This is a dramatic shade. It has a pinkish-dark-red color. This lipstick will instantly get you a glamorous look. It has a creamy matte texture, and the staying power is 5-6 hours. Also, it is super opaque.

Some also find it very drying after a few hours, so carrying a lip balm around would be a wise decision. The best part about this shade is it will suit dark-to-medium skin tones.

Rebel

MAC describes Rebel as a vivid pinkish-purple shade. If you look at the lipstick, it looks super dark and may turn you off (if you don’t like dark shades), but it’s a medium shade. It has a satin finish and has a gorgeous purple-pink color with no shimmer.

It has a creamy texture and glides smoothly. It lasts more than 5 hours. It’s a refreshing color for winter. It will go very well with darker skin tones bringing out their natural radiance.

Brick O La

The names say it all. This is a brownish color, and if you’re someone who is looking for a browny nude color, this could be your shade. This lipstick will suit dusky to medium skin tones.

It is very pigmented, and one swipe is enough. It stays for 4-5 hours. But it is not transfer-proof. It has a creamy soft texture. If you like browny shades, this lipstick could be a good buy.
