Feb 25, 2021 MAC You’re Buggin’, Lady Powder Kiss Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a brighter, dark orange-coral with a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, lightweight consistency that was thin and more velvety but not too clingy. Or the most versatile of nudes, Velvet Teddy? You'll find lipstick and much more from MAC at Nordstrom. MAC foundations and concealers—in long-wearing formulations and a broad range of shades—are perfecting complexions everywhere. That said, a recent study by Lookfantastic found that Russian Red was the most Googled red MAC shade, and the brand's 13th most popular shade overall. (If you're wondering, Velvet Teddy comes out on top as the most-Googled.) Clearly we're all so well-versed in the power of Ruby Woo that none of us feel the need to Google before we buy!

MAC Matte Lipsticks in Velvet Teddy. The best of the nude MAC lipsticks for olive skin is without a doubt, Velvet Teddy, available online on Nordstrom and maccosmetics.com. The color is pale but still slightly darker than the general natural color of lips. Velvet Teddy + Chestnut looks FANTASTIC on you!! It looks very natural and I love it! I am wanting to purchase Velvet Teddy but I have pretty fair skin so I might not be able to wear it on its own either because I don't want a one shade face! Great video, thank you!
Truth: MAC Cosmetics make some of the best lipsticks in the market. I’m ashamed (or proud?) to say I’ve collected over 20 so far, and I always have at least one on my makeup wish list at any given time. What makes them so amazing? Firstly, they have almost any shade a lipstick lover could possibly want; and they have it in a variety of finishes. Although I have a healthy assortment when it comes to the colour spectrum, my favourites – and the ones I reach for the most – are all neutral shades. Will I ever get over warm nudes? Probably not, so I thought I would share my top 5!
Lipsticks are lined up from 1 to 5, left to right.
1. Velvet Teddy

Of course I had to start my list of with arguably one of MAC’s most popular nude lipsticks of all time! Even though it’s been well over a year since the Kylie Jenner hype begun (along with the obsession with her lips), I think it’s safe to say Velvet Teddy is more often than not usually sold out at the counters. It’s described as a ‘deep-toned beige’ with a matte finish, with a rosy warm undertone. It’s one of those shades that looks so different on everybody; on me it definitely pulls rosy-beige. It’s one of the most comfortable matte lipsticks I own as it’s very creamy, comfortable and non-drying on the lips. If you’re looking for a new nude, you can’t go wrong with Velvet Teddy. It’s a crowd pleaser.
2. Spirit
I go through phases where I’m 100% certain Velvet Teddy is my favourite nude, but as soon as I use Spirit again, I’m not so sure. Spirit is definitely Velvet Teddy’s sister, just a smidgen browner, and a satin finish as opposed to matte. It’s described as a pinky-beige brown, which is spot on. Oddly enough, even though this is a satin finish I do find it less creamy than Velvet Teddy, but comfortable to wear all the same. When I want a nude that pulls more brown than pink, this is my pick. It’s a great one for day and night – it just goes with any makeup look!

3. Taupe
I don’t reach for this one anywhere near enough and every time I do, I kick myself because it’s so damn beautiful. MAC describes it as a reddish taupe brown, and it is a matte finish. I love Taupe for its uniqueness – I can’t say I’ve seen many lipsticks similar to this shade around. It’s one that many skin tones can work with, from fair through to dark, and it makes for the perfect Autumnal lipstick.
4. Persistence
Even I will admit it’s not too different to Taupe on the lips, except I find it has a little less of a red undertone and it’s a little bit more orange (although it photographed super brown on my arm for some reason!). Persistence is described as a peachy cinnamon with a matte finish. It’s very pigmented and glides onto the lips with a lot of ease. I think it’s a really different neutral and one that can be worn all year around.
5. Twig

Described as a soft muted brown pink with a satin finish, Twig is the perfect MLBB shade. It’s a great everyday colour (very long lasting!) and one of my favourite transitional shades.
If you have a medium skin tone like me, these will be perfect for you. Now you tell me – what are your favourite MAC neutrals?
Makeup is love and so is MAC ? .Today’s post is all about some gorgeous MAC lipstick shades that will look amazing on anyone with Indian skin tones. First let me share two little tips with you all.
- While choosing or selecting your lip shades when you go to any makeup store, it is advisable that you don’t judge the shade under the chrome lights that normally every store has. Just put on that shade you are after, come out of the store and then check it. It works best under natural light as you know the actual shade and its undertones.
- To pull off your lipstick nicely, a lip liner is needed to do justice to the shade you are wearing. So it is important that you apply lip liners. They not only define your lips but also stop your lipstick from bleeding.
So, lets get straight away to my top favourite MAC lipsticks for Indian skin tones: I will start from the lighter tones and move towards the darker ones.
Velvet Teddy Mac Lipstick Review
NUDE SHADES
VELVET TEDDY: ( Matte Finish) It has a purply pink tone to it. The shade looks absolutely gorgeous if you do smokey eyes and choose to wear some cool tones for your clothes. Dramatic eye makeup is advisable to pull off this shade otherwise it looks a bit washed out on its own. The shade looks amazing on someone from lighter to medium skin tones.
PERSISTENCE: ( Matte Finish) Its like a nudish brown. That perfect nude shade which you can wear everyday for work, being a nude it does not make you look washed out because of the browny undertones rather than pinky and peachy. It again looks amazing with smokey eyes.
TWIG: (Satin Finish) Pinkish nude which is subtle and not very bright. This shade looks absolutely gorgeous on any skin tone. It is kind of a purply pink. It looks beautiful with white dresses and will make your makeup look very fresh if you are planning to wear a nude shade for an afternoon tea with your cool toned clothes. This is a trusted shade, use it with confidence.
TAUPE: ( Matte Finish) I guess it is no news that taupe is one of my favourite shades in MAC.The shade can be described as a muted reddish- brown. It looks amazing on people between NC35- NC40 of MAC’s studio fix compact. I use it all day everyday. It goes so well with all my outfits. Whether in the morning or night time, this colour looks gorgeous.
MEHR: ( Creamy & Smooth Finish) Mehr looks beautiful on any skin tone. One thing definitely worth trying with Mehr is to go for a dramatic eye makeup look to accentuate the lipstick on your lips. It goes very well with smokey eyes other wise you can feel a little bit washed out as it is a bluish pink tone. This shade can be used as an everyday colour for work, lunch dates and night out plans.
PINK SHADES
ALL FIRED UP: (Matte Finish) It is a reddish pink with blue tones, such a gorgeous and vibrant pink. Pictures of a mac 10. It brightens up the skin tone making it look very fresh and adds an oomph factor to your overall look. It is a great shade if you are planning to wear a pink lipstick for your wedding. This shade is always a great choice for night outs and parties.
REBEL : (Satin Finish) Rebel is a unique shade, more berry toned than pink and this is one such colour which looks amazing on any skin tone and anybody can pull off this colour with ease. Though it looks very purply but on application you can see its actual colour which is very feminine.
FLAT OUT FABULOUS : (Matte Finish) It’s kind of purplish pink and super pigmented. It is universally a very flattering shade, bold and bright. It instantly brightens up the face.
UP THE AMP: (Amplified Creme Finish) MAC describes this shade as “ Lavender Violet”. It has a very rich creamy finish, easy on lips, pigmentation is good which I like on my lipsticks.

RED SHADES
RUBY WOO: (Matte Finish) It’s a bright red with blue tones to it. Absolutely loved by all MAC lovers. No matter what skin tone you are in, Ruby Woo just brightens up the entire look.
RUSSIAN RED: (Matte Finish) I will say it’s an orangish red with blue tones if you compare to Ruby Woo. This is one of my absolute favourites after Ruby Woo in MAC red shades. This colour looks bright on my skin tone and it is super pigmented. Being in the matte finish category, it is not at all drying rather feels smooth on the lips on application. This is one such colour which looks gorgeous on photos.
DIVA : (Matte Finish) This can be a staple to any Indian skin tone. It’s a reddish-burgundy. You can pull off the colour very easily as maroon shades are liked by many of us and it gives a freshness to the entire makeup look. A perfect shade for autumnwinter or any wedding season.
I hope this post will help you choose your colour the next time you visit a MAC store!! ?
Have a nice day everyone and thanks for dropping by
