I went to a MAC store and one of the associates tried almost every pink toned lipstick on me until I found "the one". Time consuming, but I've been wearing the same shade for years now (Brave) and it's perfect for me.

Mac's Brave is my MLBB colour, it's a cool pink-nude. Charlotte Tilbury's mini lipstick trio that she released for Christmas 2025 all look great on my cool-toned skin/lips, which surprised me because her colours usually run very warm. If you like lip tints or Asian beauty, Rom&nd has some great cool

The key is to find celebrities around your coloring, and see if you like how they look in red lipstick, if you do copy that color. A celebrity to look at would be Jessica Chastain who is a natural bright redhead and wears colorful lipstick a lot. In general, you'll want the colors to be relatively b

Looks like one of Mac's old satin lines (if it is a satin finish, it's hard for me to tell) that was replaced this year with a new line Try the new line, MACximal Sleek Satin Lipstick in shade Brave Edit: I TAKE KT BACK I agree it's likely Twig lol.

Yeah agree. I am a soft summer who can get away with soft autumn colors if I use a more golden blonde toner on my hair. Well, even when having my hair warmer, everything is BRIGHT ORANGE. What happened to muted cool or neutral pinks? Even muted warm pink is difficult to find now. For example, Mac Cr

My pleasure 🌤! For number 2, I heard it's a dupe for MAC's "Brave" and "Mehr" lipstick (updated shade: I remembered wrong sorry). It applies and feels like a soft matte formulation, kind of like the OG NYX's soft matte lip cream but in a bullet lipstick form with more pigment. It's pretty lightweigh

as someone who has hunted for similar shades, try merit millennial. i know you said no matte, but if you can be open to a very soft and forgiving matte formula, merit archival, prada meranti, and mac sultriness are beautiful, as well. in gloss form, the laneige glaze in the new rose shade is beautif

I found a lot of the recommended lipsticks looked odd on me too. What I did find to work is stuff that’s more sheer. Benetint original is my favorite but also colored glosses, tinted balms and lip stains have been great. Let me know if you want specific recs.As for lipstick L’Oréal montmartre is sim

Most of these look great on you! I wouldn’t declutter many of them unless you just really do not wear lipstick much and have a friend who would use them more. If I were picking my top half of these it would be brave, sitting pretty, modesty, velvet teddy, and maybe thanks it’s Mac, although I’m havi
