MAC recently launched Viva Glam VI Lipstick in a Special Edition to line up with Fergie as their spokesperson for the Viva Glam campaign. Some people have been finding this color to run a little on the purple side, but it runs mostly pink on me. Like many of the other VG lipsticks/lipglasses, the color is great for most people. I think it’s a nice everyday color with a bit of a pop.
See swatch and lip swatch…
That’s such a cute colour! I’ll have to see if they have it here in Holland already! Def. lemming!
x Char
Hopefully they’ll have it, and if not, soon!
yeah i hope so too!
but the mac pro in amsterdam should DEFINITELY get/have(?) it,right?
They should definitely get it!
I’ve been dying to get into the store to snatch this up if it works on me. I love it on you! I have REDDD lips, is it opaque enough for the colour to actually show and cover up a bit of my red?
It’s medium-opaque. I think it would end up looking cute on you, though.
I’d say give it a shot in-store if you can test it there before splurging, since it’s not super super opaque!
That’s a nice colour! Likey! =D
You should get it
beautiful color
I’m glad they made it this shade! It’s really lovely.
Do you think it has more pink than the usual VG shades? It seems like the pink might make it slightly more wearable for every day than some of the past VG shades.
I think it’s a little more pink
The other VG shades tend to be a little more neutral.
Ohh I like this colour.
I think everyone should check this shade out!
I love it
thx
No prob, Balqees!
by any chance is this color similar to the adoring carmine ‘rose’ lip color kit…holiday 08, red packaging…2 lipstick and a pink gloss one…
I don’t think they’re dupes, but they’re in the same family maybe
I have been eyeing this color, so thanks for the swatches! I think I will have to pick this up.
Did you happen to see the gloss that goes with this launch? I’m wondering how it looks.
No problem, Colleen!
VI SE lipglass is kind of a neutral dirty pinkish color.
This looks like a great colour and its for a great cause
I just bought viva glam 2 lipstick which I love as a great neutral colour but is this new lipstick a lustre or a satin?
I’m actually not sure of the finish, I gotta go look it up!
It looks like Thalia by NYX little bit:D
Good to know
Really? I have both Thalia by NYX and Viva Glam VI SE… and I have to say I don’t think they compare.
This color looks really pretty on you Christine
I like how it’s different from the rest of the Viva Glam lipsticks. Might have to pick it up haha. Have you tried the lip gloss also?
Thanks, Andrea!
I have swatched it in-store, but I haven’t purchased it.
Very gorgeous! I’ll definitely check this out!
I hope you love it, Julia!
I love it.
Will you pick one up, too?
This is sooo pretty on u! It went on brighter than I thought.
Thanks, Sally! It was more opaque than I thought it’d be, too!
I absolutely love this colour! Works perfectly with my skintone. Looks good on lips even without a full face of makeup
Happy to hear it, Kayc!!
i’ve been looking forward to this. thank you
how does this one wear? does it last for a substantial amount of time? does it dry out your lips?
It feels and lasts like a typical MAC lipstick, which is several hours for me. It doesn’t dry out my lips, though none of MAC’s lipsticks do this for me!
that is a very pretty pink!!! It stands out but its still very neutral! Lovely <3
Agreed! It’s a nice change from some of the other VG lipsticks!
looks nice.
wow, it looks gorgeous!
Definitely! You should get it
It looks great on you! One question: did you apply straight from the tube (and if so how many layers), with a brush, or some other method?
I applied from the tube, and I’d say two layers if I had to put it in layers!
I have it and I love it!
Yay, glad you got yourself one, Rennah!
I WISH it looked like this on me
it comes off totally purple. none of the VG lippies or l/g work on me.
Oh no!
It wasn’t purple at all really… not like Lavender Whip/Fashion Mews purple, at least!
Oooh, thats a beautiful pink.
Isn’t it? I’m pleased with the way they made it, too!
Wow EVERYONE SHOULD PICK UP A VIVA GLAM lipstick or lipgloss. Its for a GOOD CAUSE! AIDS! Remember when you purchase an V.G. product you are making a different in someones life who is LIVING with HIV/AIDS. Help the fight! These products should be wore with PRIDE! You are making a different, in a small but ever so needed way. I shall be picking up a FEW for me and my sister/girlfriends.
This color is amazing on you Christine! hahah Those lips should be the lips that promote Viva Glam.
difference, wish God made me perfect, ha!
Happy to see you support the cause, S
I think it’d look purple on my very pigmented lips. I want to get a VG lipstick though, one that would look more neutral on me.
Viva glam V is a good one thats neutral.
Maybe try one of the other VGs, even VG VI (not SE)!
I have it and i love it! I usually wear a bit of lipgloss over it just to make it pop a bit more
What lipgloss, Melissa?
is this lipstick clour the same/very similar to any other normal mac lipstick? please do let me know, i dont want to buy it and have look like my other pinks!
thnx
hey, i just wanted to respond to you and say that the lipstick Syrup is veryyy similar to this!! Try it, its almost identical!
Syrup!
i love this color christine! u are blessed wit such wonderful full lipss and i think mine are also like urs.. lol.
i love this on me!
Thanks, girl! LOL, you are also blessed then
Oooooooooh I love it, must buy for me !
Yay, glad you’re gonna get it, Ruth!
i was sad saint germain didn’t look good on me but this one did. love it, it’s pink with hint of purple on me but very wearable, loooove it. i like most of the viva glam collect.
Ohh, I am so glad it worked out for you, Victoria!
wow, I was not expecting that color.
What were you expecting, Nancy?
This shade looks so pretty on you! Definetley will be buying this colour.
Thanks, Chloe! Glad you’ll pick one up too!
That color looks GORGEOUS on you! I have so many lipsticks that I don’t really need to be buying anymore, but I want to buy this one now! I hope the color looks just as good on me.
I hope it works for you, Nancy!
wow! it looks warmer on my lips…weird how different it looks on different people.
I have syrup also, and compared together, they look almost identical, but viva glam vi se is a tad warmer and rosier than syrup.
ohh, nice! I’d like even more if it was warmer
I think I must get this. I don’t usually purchase limited edition collections that don’t accept the pro card, but I always participate and purchase the Viva Glam products to support the cause.
It’s great to see others support the cause
on me it was really pinky, kindof with a creme finish. i really liked it with the new lipgloss.
Looks gorgeous on you, I love Viva Glam lippies!!
Have you bought this one yet, Stef?
The color looks so much lighter then how it does on the tube. Looking at the tube I’d think I’d never get it but looking at the swatch on your lips, it’s such a pretty pink!
I didn’t think it would work out so well either–a totally pleasant surprise
Christine,
This color looks amazing on you! Stunning for a pink!
I saw this the day it came out but didn’t even swatch it. Now I am going to go back today and check it out. The MAC Pro is right below my office, which is terrible and great at the same time! LOL
I am interested to see if it comes out the same color on my lips as I am very fair and I would LOVE for it to look the same on me!
Rebecca
Thanks, Rebecca! I hope you like it
And lucky you (and unlucky you!) for having a MAC PRO right below your office!
I swatched it on my hand last night at my local counter. I’m seriously thinking of going back for it. I love how it looks like a lipgloss, but have the longevity of a lipstick. I accidently swatched viva glam III too & I still have it on my hand after washing my hand countless times.
You should definitely get it, Rayne
