September 11, 2012 in MAC Makeup, Product Reviews by Silver Lips 1 comment

MAC Cosmetics recently added four new and permanent lipstick shades to its expansive color range/collection. MAC lipsticks retail for $15.00 for 0.10 oz.of product. The four new lipsticks are: Yash Deep neutral (Matte), Mehr Dirty blue pink (Matte), Double Shot full-bodied mocha cream (Amplified), and Tabla chocolate-brown (Amplified). Yash & Mehr lipsticks are both re-promotes from the Spring 2011, Mickey Contractor collection.

Yash has been on my radar since it launched last year. I had it on my list to purchase but, it was sold-out online and at my location MAC stores and I now know why. This color is described as a deep neutral. It has a matte finish. This color leans peach but, isn’t to cool or warm toned. It’s truly a neutral nude that will look great on most skin tones. For some this color will require a lip liner. This lipstick is very opaque and comfortable to wear. It wore for about 6 hours on me. And I hate to say this but, this color may be taking my beloved “Siss” lipstick place as my favorite nude lipstick ever. Definitely a must have if you love nude lips.

Mehr is described as a dirty blue pink. I picked this color up with the Mickey Contractor collection last year. It has a matte finish. This color applies evenly and opaque. This color on me wore for about 6 hours. This blue based lipstick makes wearing pink on darker skin tones possible. This color will look great on most skin tones and will require a lip liner on some. If you have a deeper, darker complexion and you are looking for the almost perfect neutral pink. I say give this color a try.

All of the middle Eastern lipsticks are available now online and will be hitting free-standing stores/counters on September 13, 2012.
