CB96 is my favorite MAC lip color. I normally combine it with Amber Lights or Bronze on the lid and highlight. Beauty marked or Embark in the crease. Raizin and Honour or Trixie lightly on the cheeks.
Oh…and depending on how I am feeling, I either use Chestnut or Vino as a lip liner with Lychee Luxe on top.
I love it too
It’s a great coralish color. It goes nice with Lychee Luxe!
Anything orange-y, I love pairing with a little swipe of blue or teal on eyes — say, Delft paint pot or Moonflower. On cheeks, just keep it light with a little nude-pink blush.
Love that idea, Carrie!
Is cb96 a permanent color? I’ve never heard of it…
OK I had to know about this color so I went to the MAC counter just now (was going to Nordstrom anyway to exchange some toner) and discovered this AMAZING color. I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow with Lychee Luxe. Eyes are going to be super mellow – probably Soba and Malt blended together with a little Bronze in the outer corner. Cheeks will be Mustique (NARS The Multiple color). Can’t wait!!!
Haha! I love it
It’s great that you went to MAC and saw it in person. I’m happy that you liked it, too!
I love this shade. Lately, I am pairing it with Red Devil Lipglass and Goddess or Pinch O’ Peach blush. When I do a shade this bright on my NC15 skin, I generally stick with just mascara on the lashes, no e/s or maybe just light neutrals.
