Ethereal Orchid

MAC Ethereal Orchid Lipstick ($30.00 for TBA oz.) is described as a "mid-tone dirty coral [with a Lustre finish]." It's a muted, medium coral-orange with warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-sheer coverage, so there was translucency to the color that allowed the natural lip color to come through. The consistency was thin and a little clingy, and it only lasted two hours. It was a little drying on me, which is my typical experience with this type of finish. Marc Jacobs Beauty Understudy (114) (DC, $30.00) is lighter, more pigmented (95% similar).
