Hello lovelies!
Lipstick is a girl’s second best friend, the first one is smile undoubtedly. With that note on mind, today I am going to write about some pink lipsticks that will complement Indian skin tone. It was an arduous journey to find the right shade of pink that I can flaunt easily without looking eerie. Most of the pink shades that everybody was raving about on internet made me look washed out and pale. But some of them really did a good job to bring out my complexion. Before I dig into my findings let me tell you girls, I am a lipstick lover. I love them so much that every now and then I have to put a checklist on myself not to spend too much on them. Also I am on a constant quest for searching the right shade of pinks, reds and nudes that will add value to my make up vanity. For today’s review I am adding my top 5 pink shades from my lipstick collection.
From Left to Right: Clarins Pink Blossom, Mac Speed dial, Buxom Pink Decoy, Mac Pink Pigeon and Mac Pink Plaid.
Clarins Rouge Eclat lipstick in 25 Pink Blossom:
This is my go to favorite pink shade of all time. This is a warm pink color with a hint of coral in it. Here is a tip, any pink with coral undertone looks fab on warm skin tone. Pink blossom is highly pigmented and only two to three swipes gives you the perfect color. The formula is creamy with a glossy finish. It glides on easily with a high color output. It stays for almost 3-4 hours before it starts to wear off with moderate drinking and eating. It leaves a nice soft stain once it wears off. You have to reapply every 4 hours or after a meal. If you are thinking for some time now to invest in a beautiful pink lip color that can be your next holy grail look no further, you already found one.
Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in shade Speed Dial:
From Left to Right: Speed Dial, Pink Pigeon and Pink Plaid.
As the name itself suggests, this can be an SOS emergency pink shade for anybody. This is a light bluish pink that I absolutely love. This is one of those rare bluish pink lipsticks that I was able to carry on effortlessly. The formula is creamy with high shine. It is highly opaque and gives you the desired amount of color with just two swipes. The staying power again is around 4 hours which I do not mind. Undoubtedly one of the best bluish pink out there for warm skinned beauties.
Mac Matte Lipstick in Pink Pigeon:
This is a very bright pink with a cool tones in it. This is the brightest pink shade among all. I wanted a bright pink shade very badly so I experimented between Mac Candy Yum Yum and this. I was not brave enough to flaunt the neon Candy Yum Yum and settled for this one instead. This will look good on Indian/warm skin tone. This again is highly pigmented and stays for a full 5 hours. If you desire to be experimental with a bright cool toned pink then there is no need to wait.
Mac Matte Lipstick in Pink Plaid:
I am adding this one in my review because your pink shade box is not complete without a nude pink lippie. It is hard for me to find a good nude pink for my skin tone because sometimes they make me look ghostly or sick. This one is a muted nude pink that looks perfect on my skin tone if I pair it up with some bright eye make up. This one is highly opaque and matte, stays on the lips for a good 5 hours before it fades out leaving a stain.
Buxom Bold Gel Lipstick in Pink Decoy Matte:
I tried this one because I got fascinated with the gel lip thing. To be honest I could not decipher the difference between a plain matte lipstick and this gel matte version. But I am in love with this color. This is a hot warm pink shade that compliments my skin tone. This one has a coral undertone in it. The texture is matte but it glides on easily. Maybe the gel part in the lipstick is responsible for the effortless gliding. Highly opaque formula. The staying power is a little higher, around 5-6 hours with moderate drinking and snacking. If you are looking for a warm matte pink with coral undertone then this is it.
Hope you all enjoyed. See you all in my next review.

In Detail MAC Pink Pigeon Matte Lipstick Review, Swatches and My Experience
Packaging
The lipstick comes in a matte black and white printed rectangular cardboard box which bears all the necessary information. The actual lipstick has a matte black and silver body which is very strong and sturdy. I once dropped my lipstick and it did not break *touchwood* . There is a white coloured sticker glued on the bottom which carries the lipstick name and number. The cap shuts lock which closes tightly and ensures that the lipstick is travel friendly which can be carried along easily without any hassle.

Texture & Finish
The texture of Mac Matte lipstick Pink Pigeon is very smooth and buttery. It glides on my lips effortlessly without tugging or pulling my lips unlike their retro matte range. Though the lipstick is matte it does not dry out my lips, the finish it gives is not completely matte. It is sort of a semi creamy matte. I do not feel any need of applying lip balm underneath as it moisturising enough. It has a sweet vanilla scent which I adore.
Shade Pink Pigeon from MAC
Mac describes Pink Pigeon shade as a bright cleanest pink shade. But for me the shade is neon pink with very strong blue undertones. This shade will significantly wash out girls with above nc45 skin tone. I am nc42 in Mac and Pink Pigeon does suit me but only when I apply a little dark pink lip liner and than above it I apply this lipstick. It is very bright and I do not wear it at daytime because it looks very loud on lip (I hope you all understand what am I trying to explain). I also wear it as a stain I apply it very lightly and dab it with my fingers to give my lips a very beautiful pinky flush of colour. The shade will good very good on fair and pale skin tone girls.
Staying Power
Mac Matte Lipstick Pink Pigeon Stays On my lips for 4 to 5 hours. It does transfer as it is demi matte and not completely matte. But it does not come off completely. It does not settle into fine lines nor it dries off the lips further. It leaves a beautiful pinkish stain on my lips which looks amazing.
Overall Verdict
Mac Pink Pigeon Lipstick On Indian Skin
Mac Pink Pigeon is a beautiful pink lipstick which is really nice and bright. The lipstick is matte and does not dry out my lips. If you love such bright bold fun loving shades, then this is exactly for you.
