MAC Cosmetics Lipstick Swatches on Skin

Here are all of the lipsticks, but they are swatched on the back of my hands this time. Please note that since these are lipsticks, they are only one indicator of color, finish, opacity, etc., since they are applied to skin and not lips. Unfortunately, I do not own all of MAC’s lipsticks, so I cannot provide lip swatches at this time. Sorry 🙁

See the rest of the lipsticks!

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

You are my savior!!! I don’t have any MAC locations near me and my internet ordering would be disastrous without your obsessive swatching!!! <333

Hi there Christine,
I know I’m commenting on a old post, but I was just wondering, what shade looks best on you? (out of all the mac lipsticks you own) Or which is your favorite?
I have yellow undertones for my skin shade (kinda tan), but I don’t know what is my “mac color”.
Would really appreciate your help, thanks!

You are seriously helpful, I come past your website whenever I’m looking to buy new shades and brands and I cannot thank you enough!! Is the gold shimmer more sparkley or metalic? I’m looking for a strong gold to go over Lady Danger to create a golden rose colour n.n hugs and hand grenadesviolet chaos
