Please help me find replacement for discontinued shade!

MAC has a Satin lipstick called Paramount that might be a good dupe. It’s a deep red with a brown undertone

Faves and Fails Friday

Faves About Face concealer. I have dry under eyes, and this doesn’t emphasize them or the fine lines there. Hooray. I also use less powder when I layer this concealer. MAC Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick (Paramount). This is a fabulous muted, but still vampy, red lipstick on me. I’ll definitely be wea

the selection of lip products that companies are putting out nowadays

I’m still pissed as hell about MAC’s reformulation of the OG paramount lipstick. It was pretty much THE 90s brown. Now it’s a vampy dark burgundy red? Why even keep the same name at that point.

Red chocolate/Red brown shade for neutral or cool olives?

I have both MAC Go Retro and Dubonnet and I would describe go retro as a wearable muted red, not pinky, but not brown. Dubonnet is a mid-tone neutral to warm leaning red.

Brick red lipstick lovers, what’s your holy grail?

My go-to is MAC Paramount. It can be sheered out so it’s not a full coat like in my lip swatch; looks great as a blotted lip as well imo. The finish is satin, so it’s very comfortable to wear for hours. I don’t usually pair it with a lip liner because it doesn’t “bleed”/feather beyond the borders of

Red chocolate/Red brown shade for neutral or cool olives?

Seconding Mac Paramount. I dab it on so it’s more of a sheer finish. Another similar and lovely combo I’ve found is Mac Mahagony lip liner paired with Haus Labs lip glaze in the shade Persimmon. Editing because I thought of a couple more: Merit Lip Blush in Gamay; it is advertised as a Bordeaux shad
