MAC Highlights, Really Me, Red Rock Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches Reviews 6/26/16June 26, 2016 MAC Highlights LipstickMAC Highlights Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “very pale creamy peach [with a Lustre finish].” It’s a light-medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a natural shine. It had sheer pigmentation with a lightweight texture with some slip. Unfortunately, it applied unevenly and gathered into lip lines from the get-go on my lips. The color lasted for an hour and a half on me, while the formula was neither hydrating nor drying. This is a repromote, though the permanent version seemed darker swatched and in the tube, but it didn’t vary as much applied. MAC Real Redhead (LE, $19.50) is warmer (95% similar).

The color appeared darker swatched than in the tube, but it appeared lighter applied to lips. The texture was lightly creamy with a light-medium thickness that applied without dragging. It had opaque pigmentation that went on fairly evenly. On me, the color wore well for four and a half hours and was very lightly drying.

It was intensely pigmented, velvety-smooth, and glided on easily. This was easily the best shade out of the new shades that launched (that I’ve tried).

Fran Light, Pink undertones. Combination skin. »Highlights is pretty — too bad it gathers in lip lines! If Really Me was a bit cooler and darker, it might be a great MLBB for me. Red Rock is pretty, but too warm for me…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I wish Highlight sat better on the lips!
Kiss & Make-up Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Very Oily skin. »I thought I was gonna like Really Me but now that I’ve seen it on I have to say I don’t 🙁
Nancy T Medium-Tan, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »It’s so weird how Highlights *looks* gorgeous on you, but falls dismally short when it comes to endurance. But it actually looks very nice! Really Me reminds me of Blankety for some odd reason, so I probably will not even go near it. But: Red Rock will likely prove my resistance is futile. That is a drop-dead gorgeous old Hollywood red!!!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I can see why you’d say Really Me is reminiscent of Blankety!
Helene Fair, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin. »Red Rock is really a nice red. It doesn’t seem like I have any dupes, how that is possible I do not know. I’ll just have to add it to the evergrowing list. 🙂 The other two isn’t for me.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »lol! Sometimes reds can be quite different!
KatieRed Rock will be mine. I swear it’s the red I’ve been looking for – bright, but with cooler undertones. Most brighter reds seem to have warm undertones and, while I can get away with that sometimes, I know I’ll be much happier with this 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Fingers crossed it’s the perfect red for you, Katie!
Bonnie Light-Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Already picked up Really Me but I definitely need Red Rock!!!! What a stunning red!!!!!
AmandaHighlights is so sheer that it almost looks like you aren’t wearing anything! I was going to buy Really Me but found that my Creme Cup is close enough for me not to buy it. I also have Bianca from CP. I ordered O from Nordstrom and its backordered so I won’t get it until the 31st. I love the color selection and quality of Mac lipsticks they are my favorite lipstick.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Glad you already have a dupe for Really Me!
AmandaYes, creme cup is cooler and really me is more of a neutral. Really Me would suit me better, but its close enough. 🙂
