Nyma Tang

MAC Nyma Tang Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark red with a cool, blue undertone and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with a lightly emollient consistency that was thin without being clingy, so it glided easily across my lips but adhered well for long-wear and did not feather or bleed on me over time. The lipstick stayed on well for over six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview

$19.00/0.1 oz. - $190.00 Per Ounce

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying.

Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying.

The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Light, Yellow, strong yellow undertones. Combination skin.

Good grief that’s beautiful. I must have a dozen-and-a-half reds, but this is seriously tempting me.

Nancy T

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Do I legit own enough red lipsticks for this lifetime? Probably. Do I care? I don’t think so.
This is a true Hollywood glam type of red. Very red carpet apropos. ???

Genevieve

Lightest, Pink undertones. Dry skin.

What a stunning shade of red lipstick this one is! I love it.

Nyma’s shade is excellent. I may just have to pick this up. I prefer darker reds for my skintone, they don’t make me feel so yellow. This looks fabulous.

Maria

I didn’t know Nyma made a Mac collab! I am so happy for her, she is so inspiring!

Helene

Very Light, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin.

I love it, it,s gorgeous, but as I have at least 4 dupes, I’ll not buy it. I do love the cool reds 🙂

Medium, Neutral undertones. Normal skin.

If it’s a tad darker than Ruby Woo, it sounds like it might be very close to Russian Red?

Dani

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Oily skin.

Definitely not as dark as Russian red. Its also more vibrant. I would say it’s closer to Ruby Woo than Russian Red. I own all 3 :). This is my favorite of them all.

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Oily skin.

I purchased this. It DOES NOT disappoint. Goodness it’s gorgeous in person as well. I so wish it wasn’t LE. I really struggle to find the perfect red on me. Nyma’s red is beyond! I put it on my lips and literally said “whoa”. Perfect red for me. I’m really nuetral toned and range from NC20-25. So different from the stunning woman that made this shade. It truly is amazing how beautiful it is on her, me, and every other review I’ve seen. I feel like if MAC was smart…they would carry this permanently. Applause to thr FAB Nyma!

Rachel R.

Lightest, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

She came up with such a beautiful shade of red.

It’s gorgeous! Plus I really like Nyma’s brand. We don’t see many people in the industry with her skin tone get an opportunity like this. I love it!
