Can I actually pull off a red lip or does it wear me?
None of these are red as the others have said 😅 caprice and fast play are in the berry/mauve world and brick-o-la seems like a very coppery coral. A true red from Mac is like a ruby woo. I think the captive and fast play look nicer on you than brick o lay. If a red seems too intense straight of the

Mac Pre Vs Post-Reformulation
Swatched on bare NC15 skin in indirect natural light. I wanted to compare my pre and post-reformulation Mac lipsticks, especially as I redeemed my points at the end of last year for some minis to make this comparison. In each pair, the new formula is on top, the old formula is on the bottom. I'd say

Deep Autumn makeup looks that are more natural and sweet than glamorous
I find Mac Brick o la and Nars Jane (Revlon Rosewine is a good dupe) to be lipstick shades that give me a sweet, pretty look rather than a sultry one, especially when just dabbed on lightly. I pair them with a subtle rosy flush on the apples of my cheeks (Nars Taos), dewy skin, groomed brows, and so

Please help me find this lipstick for my wife
Mac recently reformulated their lipsticks and have discontinued some shades. I think brick-o-la or paramount could work as dupes, and I’ve found this blog post with some comparisons. It’s probably easiest to go to a MAC counter with the lipsticks and swatch similar shades side by side.

Two beautiful red shades for neutral, muted olives
Brick-o-la and Spice It Up also look great on me (muted medium warm-leaning olive). I also suggest MAC Business Casual and Ilia’s Gala. For reference, MAC crème in your coffee is my absolute favorite lipstick hands down, and warm Teddy looks great too. However, other popular MAC shades that most oli

Can I actually pull off a red lip or does it wear me?
According to the Mac website: Captive Audience (I think that's what you have?) is a pinkish plum. Brick-o-la is a warm dusty rose. Fast play amplified is discontinued so can't find info on mac website but according to temptalia: "moderately warm-toned, medium mauve with a satin finish". You can easi

Faves and Fails Friday
Faves - Mac Plum Dandy: For a frost lipstick, this is very wearable and looks good on its own and with a lip liner - Mac Brick-O-La and Crème in Your Coffee Minis: I had the previous iteration of Creme in Your Coffee in the Cremesheen formula but it started getting rancid this year so I got the mini

Always so sad when this happens! I recently discovered my Business Casual and Brick-o-la went off at 4 and 3 years respectively. That's definitely past their official expiry dates, but I always thought Mac lipsticks lasted longer than that.
