MAC Red Obsessed Casual Colour Lip & Cheek Colour ($22.00 for 0.08 fl. oz.) is described as a “soft rose.” It was a light-medium, pink-coral with warm undertones and a soft, golden frosted finish and a natural sheen. Maybelline Just Pinched Pink (10) (P, $8.99) is pinker. Hourglass Luminous Flush (P, $35.00) is a powder. Physicians Formula Natural (P, $11.99) is a powder. MAC Keep It Loose (LE, $20.00) is lighter, warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes. Here are some dupes for it as a lip color.

It had semi-sheer, buildable color coverage, though this one was definitely running sheerer overall. It had a glossy sheen that was noticeable on the cheeks, and even when applied to lips, there was still some shine and creaminess to it, which isn’t the norm for the formula. I found it to be drying when I wore it on lips, and it lasted about three hours. It worked better on cheeks, as it was easily blended on the skin and sat well without emphasizing pores. The color wore well for seven hours as a blush.

Just to reiterate, this has 0.08 fl. oz., which is a huge reduction from the 0.43 fl. oz. that came in the clear pot (which I believe last released in April 2014, so it wasn’t that long ago).

Not impressed. It’s so sheer that I can barely see any color on your lips. Not only did MAC drastically reduce the size, it looks like they skimped on the pigments, and have the nerve to charge more ! I hope this product bombs, so MAC gets the message, otherwise, they will be cranking out more products like this.

I’m not into the Casual Colours at all. They don’t seem to perform well as either a cheek colour or lip colour let alone both. I went through my MAC phase years ago and since branching out to other brands there’s been little that MAC has done that’s made me even remotely interested. 🙁

Thank you so much for all the time and effort it takes to gather all the information, take photos and deliver a detailed and concise review, along with all the other pertinent info (like the much smaller size & a higher price than before!).
MAC needs to wake up. They’re not the only game in town. 🙂

Have a wondeful holiday! Thanks again. 🙂

This and the previous one look great on you. They don’t even look dry unlike some of kat Von D liquid lipsticks. I hope people read the blurb before just looking at the great pics and running off to buy it. Lol! So congrats on making a meh product look good.

I love the color and finish, both on the cheeks and lips (though I wouldn’t wear it on lips). The sheerness and frost definitely appeals to me as a pale person. But I think I’ll be passing because I’ve just spent too much this month!
