MAC Cosmetics Passions of Red Coral Lips Palette Swatches

Transparent Love

Lip swatches of the Holiday 2008 Coral Lips Palette! Again: All were done with a lip brush and LOTS of swipes. I must admit I’m pretty disappointed with the color pay off. I also apologize for unevenness, as they appeared even to me in the mirror, but apparently it was not the case says the macro shot!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

These are great! I prefer the softer colors on myself! I can see how you all would be disappointed though. These looks can easily be achieved with cheaper products.

I think they look nice on you even though they are a bummer for me. I think uneven sheer-colored lips will be in trend! who knows?

Which camera do you use? i use a digital elph and I find it hard to do close shots without looking like photo has been exposed and cause sunburnt like background. Thanks 🙂

I am SO GLAD that I haven’t caved in for the Holiday palettes/packagings this year!!!
I bought a few last year and I haven’t been using them much at all because:
1) I am not a fan of lip palettes (I find them \harder to work with since I prefer a lipstick as opposed to work with lip brushes)
2) I find that they are never pigmented enough
3) As for the e/s palettes, I find them generally less pigmented than the regular individual e/s and, therefore, I don’t use them because to me, less color in e/s = boring.
I also find that they are pricey and to pay for the packaging of a product I am not gonna use, is silly.
Besides, I am eagerly awaiting the Hello Kitty collection!!!
