It’s a richly pigmented lipstick with a lightly creamy consistency that glided on without tugging but didn’t feel clingy on either. It’s a shade that didn’t seem to apply as crisply as other shades directly from the tube, so you may want to use a lip brush or a lip liner to get cleaner edges. What I liked was how it applied evenly and didn’t look streaky, as some deeper shades can, and the color wore well for six hours strong without being drying (not hydrating, to be clear). This shade is from the limited edition MACnificent Me Collection.

I’m always attracted to these deep browned reds, but they do not play nicely against my skin.. pull me sallower.
Have you ever found one that worked for you, Wendy?
LOL..nope, not a one have I worn out of the house. It’s one of those shades where I will catch my reflection in a mirror and I end up wiping it off and replacing with something kinder.
I knew this shade would look gorgeous on you. So vampy, so glamorous! It’s not my kind of shade though, but I can definitely appreciate it on others :_)
Aww <3 Thank you!
I love this! I have already pre-saled this one. I will surely be using a liner with this. I’m glad you got to review it before Thur.!
Phew! 🙂
I really like it. I was going to get Film Noir or Antique velvet, but since this is a smidge more red it might looks less corpsey on me.
Yay! Sounds like it’ll be a winner 🙂
I had to purchase this love it
Awesome! Are you wearing it with a particular liner by chance, KP?
No I am not I didn’t think about but maybe I will see what I have at home and try it
I have OCC Anita, so I’m good. Nice mix of vamp and 90s brown, will be using it soon for fall/winter
Hey, on your post for Mariah Carey & Mac, the comment box is closed, but I’m curious about that champagne shimmer lipstick – might make a nice topper
Fixed! Still no idea how I am managing to uncheck “allow comments” on posts.
What do you pair with Anita, Katherine?
That’s a funny question, because I actually wear Anita like you do! It’s such a bold dark shade that I try to keep the rest of my makeup simple. In winter, I’m pale, so I warm up my face with Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana (so I don’t look goulish), do bold brows (to balance the strong lip) and keep my eye makeup pretty simple (a little liner, mascara, maybe a soft wash of bronze shadow), then finish with dusting of a soft gold face highlighter (so I don’t look too matte). It’s still warm and sunny here, but I can’t wait to bust out Anita 🙂
What a great cherry cola color. Love it!
Agreed!
It’s so 90’s! It looks like Burts Bees Lip Shimmer in Plum which I have!
Nice!
Perfection!!! I have to get this as my vampy deep red, as it seems like it would work wonderfully with my warm medium olive complexion! And I think a bit better than smoky purple lippys like CP Nevermind or MAC Smoked Purple do for me.
I bet it will work really well on your skin tone, Nancy!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 🙂
It is! Will you check it out, Jacqueline?
So very autumny. I fear it might be a bit too much on the brown side for me, but I do like it.
Aw!
That colour is sensational – love, love and love. It really looks gorgeous on you too Christine. I really want this one……
Hope you can swatch it sometime, Genevieve!
Oh geeze- I don’t know! It’s a shade that’s not in my comfort zone- but it looks awesome on you Christine! And I buy every black, dark purple or funky shade they wanna sell me. Oh heck, for the price I think I’m gonna go for it…Thanks for the review!
Aw, thank you so much, Trish! 🙂
I’m happy to see a smooth vampy lipstick that isn’t blue based like many “wine” or “burgundy” colors tend to be! I may have to see this in person 🙂
Woohoo! Hope you can check it out, Bea!
Lovely!
Glad ya liked it!
Is Deep Love worth getting if I already own Antique Velvet? I can’t tell the difference from the swatches but I’ve heard the undertone is more visible IRL so I’m not sure.
They’re really, really close. Unless you’re super cool-toned, I don’t know that you could really tell the difference.
Thanks 🙂 that saves my money for the next collection.
Can anyone recommend me a lip liner to use with this color?
Try Jordana Terra Kiss (a bit lighter but should work well) or Coco Loco (choc brown but will definitely work)…and lastly Cabernet…although Cabernet leans towards purple rather than red brown. I don’t have any of my NYX liner with me so I couldn’t check those (I literally just swatched all those liners next to the lipstick…it’s too bad I can’t insert pics in this comment :))
I just put this in my shopping bag.
Awesome, Juvy!
