MAC Lipstick Collection: Swatches of Red and Pink Shades

Here comes the swatch post again! MAC has so many good red and pink shades in its permanent lipsticks range that its just not possible for a store to have them all at one time. I always come across some new shades everytime I pay these stores a visit. Actually I change the store everytime! Sometimes its Select City Walk or Pacific Mall, the other times its Ambience or DLF Promenade. Today I got some swatches of the entire Viva Glam range and the new Huggable Lip Colour collection! Patience girls..those swatch posts will follow soon. But today I’ve some of the most favourite and infact almost all the good red shades from MAC. And since I had some arm space left, I collected some pink ones too to add to the post I did before: MAC Pink Lipstick Swatches.

Just like Candy Yum Yum, Pink Pigeon is too drying & patchy to be a $16 lipstick. I have WNW l/s that applies better. However I loved the color of Mac PP so went on the hunt for a quality dupe. Here are swatches comparing MAC 'Pink Pigeon' next to 'Tats.' Thank you @honeelovee on Instagram for sharing these swatches with us. We're still currently working on finding the perfect dupe for MAC 'Pink Pigeon.' Mac saint Germain is a Barbie cool pink,it’s a typical bubblegum pink by Mac which goes really well with all skin tones although it pays off differently on different skin tones. Since it’s a blue pink it can definitely make your teeth appear a little on the yellow side but nonetheless, it’s for all the girlies that want the Barbie look.

Dupe Of Mac Pink Pigeon Lipstick

I am soo excited. This is the ultimate MAC lipstick dupes list and you can refer to this table whenever you want to find a dupe. MAC is the ultimate brand when it comes to lipsticks but not all of us have access to MAC stores or want to spend that much. You can read about some of my MAC reviews here.
MAC Pink Pigeon Dupes!! A very bright pop pink is a Rave on! We did the dupes on a Barbie pink candy yum yum sometime back.This one is slightly similar but has a rather cool undertone – it’s MAC PINK PIGEON that we are talking about.We have heard about peacocks being blue but pigeons being pink??? This one is new!

Brave Red: Well you don’t need to be a lot brave to carry it. Its a nice creamy warm red.

Russian Red: A deep creamy warm red. Follow the link for full review.

Cockney: A lustre warm red with sheer finish.

Ruby Woo: Cult favourite and my love! Retro matte finish in blue based red.

Lady Danger: A bright orange toned red. Quite a hit. I swatched it with So Chaud today and they looked quite similar. Follow the link for full review.

These are infact the best red lipsticks MAC has. The are a couple of others but those were OOS. I want MAC Red next.

Chatterbox: A true pale pink which suits fair skin tones. Follow the link for full review.

Plumful: A plummy pink. Suits dark skin tones a lot.

Up The Amp: a lavender purple. Quite different from plums and raspberries around.

MAC has a lot of plums and berries. Although those are not my cup of tea but I’m liking Lickable a lot.

Mac Pink Pigeon Dupe Bag

Yep that’s my bag you see

Who says you can’t have fun while you work? Infact beauty blogging is such an enjoyable career. Shruti and I spent an entire day behind lipstick counters in MAC, Inglot, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Sephora, Colorbar and royally pissed of the SAs by being Ms.Know-it-alls. I just can’t stop myself from correcting those MUAs whenever they get a fact wrong. Its criminal to say “very pretty shade. A hit in our store. Suits all skin tones” to every damn shade and shove it in your face. But it was hilarious and fun. So you girls can look forward to more such swatch posts coming soon!

MAC Pink Pigeon is a “bright cleanest pink” matte finish lipstick (source). It was released as part of the Iris Apfel 2011 and Strength 2012 collections. It’s a bright neon fuchsia color that is darker and warmer than MAC Candy Yum Yum but definitely in the same color family. You can see it on me here.

1) Milani Color Statement in Rose Hip ($5) – Rose Hip is slightly cooler, more purple, and glossier but the formula is similar and the pigmentation is exact. If Rose Hip was paired with a magenta lip liner and blotted down to a matte finish then these would be identical.
