Best & Worst of MAC Strip Down Collection
MAC Strip Down Collection includes 17 shades (a few are repromotes but are now part of the permanent range) to create a more well-rounded selection of “nude” lipsticks for all skin tones. There are also new glosses, which I also reviewed and are included in this round-up!

I got Bad ‘n’ Bare and S’Sexy out of this collection. They are both beautiful warm nudes. So glad they are permanent shades.
Some really nice nude choices here. I feel like if they were truly going for a complete “natural” nude line they should have had a few mauves (that’s the actual color of my lips). But I’m not complaining.
Did you look at the full range? These were just the new/brought back shades, but they had a ton highlighted that already were part of the permanent range! (These are just the additions.)
no, can’t say I was paying attention — I haven’t looked at MAC seriously for years. I guess, to be fair, I should check out the whole line 🙂
Yeah, these are just the new ones – I didn’t repurchase the ones that have existed in the permanent range for awhile since I am pretty much behind on lips by 2,000 some odd products or more 🙂
Double Fudge would be my favourite, a lovely shade of brown.
MAC did a good job extending their nude lipstick shade range in order to give everyone a perfect nude lipstick or two! Very glad to see shades other than various hues of beige being classified as nude finally, too. Bravo, MAC!
As for my own picks, I am thrilled about them making Among The Fireflies permanent! It is one of my top nude shades for myself. Others I’m looking forward to getting at some point are Pretty Peppa, Smoked Almond or Good Form, and S’Sexy. Although, I really do love Oh, Yes Baby on myself after lining my lips, I worry that it could be very short wearing.
Pretty Peppa and Move Your Body are my favorites. I like a lot of the others, but most of them wouldn’t work for me.
