10 Best MAC Lipsticks for Indian Skin
By Contributor: Karishma
That is the question that crosses the mind of every girl atleast once daily! When you buy your first MAC lipstick, you can't just stop there and before you know you are hooked to everything MAC. And then you start googling 'top mac lipsticks' 'best mac lipsticks' and so on. When I started writing this post. All I could think was… How am I supposed to pick up the best 10 lipsticks from such a great brand! Well this post has by far been the most difficult to write… Go on… Read about the 10 best MAC Lipsticks for Indian Skin. You can find the reviews and swatches of all of them on VNA.
1. MAC Mehr:
Mehr is just like Cosmo but with a matte finish. It is a brownish pink lipsticks which is always OOS in all MAC stores because of the high demand. It looks so natural and in harmony with the rest of your makeup and is a great pick if you are not into attention grabbing lipsticks.
I had to ask her for her top MAC lipstick color recommendations, and she broke it all the way down into color categories! Here are the picks for the 25 BEST MAC lipsticks for dark skin and women of color. Plums/Purples: Rebel. Model Behaviour. L-R: Russian Red, Lady Danger, Ruby Woo As you can tell by the title, I thought I'd go ahead and compare three of the most popular red Mac lipstick shades: Russian Red, Lady Danger and Ruby Woo. These red shades may look similar, but they all have slightly different finishes and undertones. This creamy matte lipstick features high colour payoff in a no-shine matte finish. The perfect matte formulation of the iconic product that made MAC famous.
2. MAC Ruby Woo or Riri Woo:
They say when you're in doubt, wear red! I Say when you're in doubt, wear Ruby Woo. Or Riri Woo from Rihanna Collection. This lipstick makes you feel bold just like Rihanna. This shade is a cool red with a retro matte finish and surprisingly suits every skin tone. Amazing packaging. A single swipe will cover it all. It lasts easily for 6 hours.
3. MAC Twig:
An elegant shade of pink which has hints of brown in it. This shade will suit almost all skin tones. It has a very smooth and creamy texture but looks matte on the lips. Its opaque, hydrating, glides very smoothly and staying power is good!
4. MAC Speak Louder:
A reddish pink creamy lipstick. Glides on very smoothly. Lasts for more than 4 hours with small snacks & drinks, leaving behind a beautiful tint. It moisturizes the lips while it lasts. It's bright, but not neon. Easily wearable during both day and night. One of the easiest pink lipsticks to carry.
5. MAC Mocha
Mocha on your lips, sounds yummy. Doesn't it? Anyway this is a beautiful shade which is slightly peachy brown in colour with yellow undertones. It is a satin finish lipstick but its texture is almost matte and long lasting. Working women can easily pick this shade without a doubt. Can be easily used for office wear or with smokey eyes. One of the best brown lipsticks out there.
6. MAC Chili:
Scared of wearing a red lipstick – MAC Chili is your saviour. Beautiful colour – orangish brick red. Suits Indian skin tones really well. Me Likes: unique shade, good pigmentation, matte finish, not drying & long lasting. It really is a hot chili red!
7. MAC Rebel:
One shade from MAC which will definitely suit the warm toned Indian skin. It's a pretty plum colour with a subtle sheen. It does tend to look a little vampy in the packaging but it looks oh – so – gorgeous on the lips! Plus points: highly pigmented, does not settle in lines and easily stays on for 5 hours!
8. MAC Creme In Your Coffee:
Mac Crème In Your Coffee is a creamy pinkish brown shade which suits the Indian skin so beautifully. This is an everyday wear lipstick – perfect for working women and those who are scared to wear bright shades. Pros: smooth & creamy, doesn't bleed on lips, very hydrating & gives a glossy look to lips.
9. MAC Relentlessly Red:
A bright carrot pink which will light up your face. It has a very nice retro matte finish and the colour lasts easily for 6 hours, leaving behind a lovely deep tint. Best part – it doesn't transfer. Infact Dangerous is also a great pick from the retro matte collection.
10. MAC Girl About Town:
I'd rate GAT as the best fuchsia lipstick available. It suits almost all Indian skin tones. A great shade for winters. It has a very creamy and moisturizing texture. This shade can add some freshness to a dull looking face. It easily stays on 6 hours with light snacks and drinks. Brownie points: does not settle in fine lines, does not smear, highly moisturizing and completely opaque with just one swipe.
So this was our list of the best MAC lipsticks available in India which go well with our yellow toned medium skin. The girls with pink tones can also choose from the list because a lot of these shades are very versatile.

Whether you're obsessed with beauty or you're just a casual makeup lover, you'll eventually have to make a choice: Do you buy the budget-friendly product or do you splurge on the pricier stuff? Is there really that big a difference between $10 mascara and $20 mascara? Pretty much every makeup-wearer has had this dilemma at least once in their life. If you're always on a really tight budget, or if makeup just isn't a big priority for you, then it probably makes sense to stick to affordable drugstore brands. But suppose you have the disposable income to upgrade to the more expensive version of a product that you want: How do you know if it's really worth the extra money? Many people make the mistake of assuming that just because a product is more expensive it's automatically better. That's not always true, since many prestige brands also own drugstore brands that put out very similar products. Sometimes they spend extra money on the packaging and marketing, not the product itself. Then again, I have tried some expensive makeup products that blew my mind and made me willing to fork over the big bucks time and again whenever I ran out.
In the end, it mostly comes down to personal preferences and priorities. Still, I thought it would be fun (and possibly helpful) to go through my makeup stash and compare expensive makeup products to their very similar but much cheaper dupes. I created an entire face of makeup (BB cream, blush, mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, and lipstick), with the inexpensive products on one side of my face and the expensive products on the other side. Let's see how it went down!
Mascara
I compared two of my all-time favorite mascaras: Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara ($23, toofaced.com), vs. Maybelline Full 'n Soft Waterproof Mascara ($8, ulta.com). Let's see if the $15 price difference is visible — other than the fact that the Too Faced mascara obviously has much cuter packaging.
I'm wearing Too Faced mascara on the left side of this photo and Maybelline mascara on the right side. These are both very wet formulas with similar brushes. They're made more for length than volume, which I personally prefer because I don't like my lashes to get too clumpy. They're also both waterproof, and I like that neither of them smears on my oily, hooded lids.
Honestly, I use these interchangeably but if I had to choose I would say the Too Faced is slightly better — you can see in the photo that my left eye is a bit more defined. If you're on a budget, however, the Maybelline mascara is a great option.
Eyeliner
I compared my two go-to liquid liners: NYX Matte Liquid Liner ($7, nyxcosmetics.com) vs. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner ($22, sephora.com). Let's see if their $15 price difference is noticeable.
I'm wearing the Stila liner on the left of this photo and the NYX liner on the right side. The two main differences between these is that the Stila is a foam-tip pen and is glossy, while the NYX liner is a brush and dries matte. I personally love the matte look of NYX liner but I find it much easier to control the line with the Stila pen than the NYX brush. They both stay on the lids all day without smudging though.
So if you want a very precise line I recommend the Stila, and if you prefer a matte look I recommend the NYX.
Eye Shadow
I compared the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette ($54, sephora.com) vs. Essence All About Nude Palette ($5, ulta.com) and Essence All About Nudes Palette ($5, essencemakeup.com). Since I actually used two very similar Essence palettes for this, the total price difference after combining the cost of both Essence palettes is $44.
Above, the Urban Decay shades (left to right: Darkside, Factory, Dust, and Strange) are pictured on top and the most similar Essence shades (unnamed) are on bottom.
I used the Essence palette on this eye:
And the Urban Decay palette on this eye:
In the end, I got more color payoff from the Urban Decay palette, although the lightest two shades from both palettes were pretty useless on my skintone.
If you want a really impactful, pigmented look you may want to go with the Urban Decay palette. Whichever one you choose, however, just make sure you use a good eyelid primer first because that makes a huge difference no matter how expensive your eye shadow is. (I use this Urban Decay primer with great results.)
BB Cream
For face makeup I compared Nonie Creme Colour Prevails Blurred Lines CC Creme ($16, drugstore.com) vs. bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream ($30, sephora.com), a $14 price difference.
Above, the Colour Prevails CC Creme is on the left and the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue is on the right. As you can see, there's a huge color difference. The CC Creme comes in only 3 shades (light, medium, and dark) whereas the Complexion Rescue comes in a whopping 16 shades, making it much easier for me to find the right match.
Below, I'm wearing the Colour Prevails CC Creme: Mac dark lipstick swatches.
And this is the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue:
Below, the Complexion Rescue is on the left side and the CC Creme is on the right, so you can compare:
Although I'm very pale, the darker Colour Prevails CC Creme does blend in surprisingly well and it offers really good coverage — it's not as heavy as foundation but more than the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue. However the Complexion Rescue is more hydrating and imparts a dewy glow that I really like.
In the end I usually reach for the Complexion Rescue because it has SPF 30 over the CC Creme's SPF 20, and although it has slightly less coverage I do like how luminous it makes my dry skin look. If you have oily skin you'll probably prefer the CC Creme instead.
Blush
I compared Sigma Aura Powder in Nymphaea ($19, sigmabeauty.com) versus Japonesque Velvet Touch Blush in shade 03 ($22, ulta.com). As you can see I only have a travel size of the Japonesque blush, but for our purposes we'll compare prices of the full-size products. This price difference is only $3 but you do get a little more product with the cheaper Sigma blush.

This is the Sigma blush:
Mac Lady Danger Vs Chili Rellenos
And this is the Japonesque blush:
It's a tough call but I prefer the Japonesque blush. It has just a tiny bit of shimmer and the color payoff is great, plus it's very easy to blend. This is my favorite blush. If you can't get your hands on it though, the Sigma blush is a really good substitute.
Lipstick
I compared two orange-red lipsticks: MAC Toledo Lipstick in Barbecue (sold out but basically the same as MAC Lady Danger, $17, maccosmetics.com) vs. Wet 'n' Wild Megalast Lip Color in Purty Persimmon ($2, walgreens.com). Let's see if the $15 price difference is worth it:
I'm wearing the MAC lipstick on the left side of the picture above and the Wet 'n' Wild on the right side. You probably can't tell the difference because I couldn't even see it. They both feel similar too: a semi-matte finish that's creamy, not drying. So I waited to see how they wore off. This is a few hours later:
And this is my lips at the end of the day:
(Remember, MAC on the left and Wet 'n' Wild on the right.) In the end I was surprised to find that the Wet 'n' Wild lipstick wore off more evenly and lasted as a stain for much longer. Not bad for a $2 lipstick! Its packaging is horrible though (it gets so messy), and I admit that I mostly bought the MAC lipstick for its cute packaging.
If you don't care about the packaging though, go ahead and skip MAC and buy the $2 Wet 'n' Wild lipstick instead.
The Final Results
Let's look at the full face of makeup that I created with these products. This side of my face is all budget beauty products:
And this side of my face is prestige brands:
Mac Lady Danger Vs Chili Relleno
Here they are side by side for your comparison (expensive on the left of the photo, inexpensive on the right side):
In the end, there's really not that much of a visible difference!
Mac Lady Danger Vs Chili Paste
So if you're on a budget or just unsure if you want to spend extra for a product, try out the budget-friendly version first to see if you like it. Also consider your priorities. For me, I spend extra on products that go on my (very finicky) skin but prefer to save money on drugstore lipstick and mascara. I have found some expensive products that are completely worth it, as well as some very cheap products that blew my mind. It's all about trial and error, so get out there and experiment!
