MAC Lipstick Collection: Swatches of Red and Pink Shades
MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a 'bright cleanest pink with a Matte finish.' It's a brightened, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It was less matte than a lot of the shades in the collection, though it wears down to a more matte finish within a few hours of wearing it.
Here comes the swatch post again! MAC has so many good red and pink shades in its permanent lipsticks range that its just not possible for a store to have them all at one time. I always come across some new shades everytime I pay these stores a visit. Actually I change the store everytime! Sometimes its Select City Walk or Pacific Mall, the other times its Ambience or DLF Promenade. Today I got some swatches of the entire Viva Glam range and the new Huggable Lip Colour collection! Patience girls.those swatch posts will follow soon. But today I’ve some of the most favourite and infact almost all the good red shades from MAC. And since I had some arm space left, I collected some pink ones too to add to the post I did before: MAC Pink Lipstick Swatches.
I took a lot of of swatches.some in direct sunlight and the others in natural light. So I’m putting all of them up.
Red Lipsticks:
Chili: an orange based brown red. Follow the link for full review.
Red: such a pretty shade! I wonder why nobody talks of it. Its a carrot pink based red and one of my favourites.
Brave Red: Well you don’t need to be a lot brave to carry it. Its a nice creamy warm red.
Russian Red: A deep creamy warm red. Follow the link for full review.
Cockney: A lustre warm red with sheer finish.
Ruby Woo: Cult favourite and my love! Retro matte finish in blue based red.
Lady Danger: A bright orange toned red. Quite a hit. I swatched it with So Chaud today and they looked quite similar. Follow the link for full review.
These are infact the best red lipsticks MAC has. The are a couple of others but those were OOS. I want MAC Red next.
Pink Lipsticks:
Lovelorn: A sheer dirty pink. A lighter version of Cosmo and Mehr.
Lickable: A bright deep raspberry pink. Reminds me of Girl About Town.
Chatterbox: A true pale pink which suits fair skin tones. Follow the link for full review.
Plumful: A plummy pink. Suits dark skin tones a lot.
Mac Lipstick Colors
Up The Amp: a lavender purple. Quite different from plums and raspberries around.
Saint German: A very light and cool toned purple pink. So Nicki Minaj.
Lustering: A lustre plummy pink. A lighter version of Plumful.
MAC has a lot of plums and berries. Although those are not my cup of tea but I’m liking Lickable a lot.
Yep that’s my bag you see
Who says you can’t have fun while you work? Infact beauty blogging is such an enjoyable career. Shruti and I spent an entire day behind lipstick counters in MAC, Inglot, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Sephora, Colorbar and royally pissed of the SAs by being Ms.Know-it-alls. I just can’t stop myself from correcting those MUAs whenever they get a fact wrong. Its criminal to say “very pretty shade. A hit in our store. Suits all skin tones” to every damn shade and shove it in your face. But it was hilarious and fun. So you girls can look forward to more such swatch posts coming soon!

I love all MAC lipsticks and wear them on a daily basis. I usually stick to the neutrals but I like to rock a bold lip when I’m feeling super girly! So here’s my Bright Pink collection.
(Left to Right – Pink Nouveau, Pink Pigeon, Viva Glam Miley Cyrus, Girl About Town, Flat Out Fabulous).
Pink Nouveau – Satin
Pink Nouveau is a medium toned pink with cool blue undertones. As it’s a satin it’s incredibly creamy and glides on smoothly. It looks rather bright on me so I like to tone it down with a deeper liner such as ‘Beet’ by MAC. It’s a nice colour and is a popular shade but I don’t get as much use out of it as I would like.
Pink Pigeon – Matte
Pink Pigeon is not a shade I hear people often talking about. It is a bright pink very similar to Candy Yum Yum by MAC but it’s not as florescent therefore making it a lot more wearable. It’s a super fun barbie party kind of colour but I like to occasionally wear this during the day for a pop of colour when the rest of my makeup is simple. Be warned, this DOES stain your lips!
Viva Glam Miley Cyrus – Amplified
VG Miley Cyrus is part of MACs Viva Glam line and I believe it is a limited edition shade. It’s a wonderful warm toned fuchsia with complete opacity in a couple of swipes since it is an amplified finish. It has a lovely glossy finish and once it wears down it leaves a beautiful stain on your lips. Excellent choice of colour for special occasions or a night out but it can also be worn during the day with a simple winged liner on the eyes and nothing else and you look complete.
Girl About Town – Amplified
Girl About Town is the sister shade of Viva Glam Miley Cyrus. It’s also an amplified fuchsia but is a lot more blue undertones and is slightly deeper in colour. A favourite of mine and I love to wear it during the day with a simple eye look without looking too much. It also leaves behind a lovely stain on the lips once it gradually fades away.
Flat Out Fabulous – Retro Matte
Mac Best Pink Lipstick
Flat Out Fabulous is a retro matte finish, so once it’s on the lips it won’t budge and last for ages and can easily take you through the night without requiring a top up. It is a deep fuchsia colour which can also look purple at times which is still beautiful. It’s perfect for a night out but again makes for a perfect bold lip to make a statement. By far my favourite pink out of the collection!
Here’s some side by side arm and lip swatches.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the swatches and reading about each shade and feel inspired to go bright and go pink!
