Hello lovelies!

Mac Pink Pigeon Review India Youtube

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.

  • Pink Pigeon Pink Pigeon is a 'bright clean pink' with cool undertones. This gorgeous hot pink perfectly walks the line between the neon tones of Candy Yum Yum and the glossier, darker Girl About Town - I'm rather enamoured with it! Pink Pigeon applies smoothly with intense colour pay off and lasts for six hours without being drying.

  • 990, it comes in the usual MAC black packaging, and has the signature vanilla fragrance of all MAC lipsticks, which disappears upon application. Pink Pigeon has a matte finish, and is described as “bright cleanest pink.” Each time I think I own the brightest shocking pink lipstick, I come across something brighter!

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:

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a 'bright cleanest pink with a Matte finish.' It's a brightened, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It was less matte than a lot of the shades in the collection, though it wears down to a more matte finish within a few hours of wearing it. August 14, 2013; by jomol.

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.

Happy Christmas everyone! Today is Christmas all over the world. Here at AngSavvy.com, it’s not a White Christmas nor a Blue Christmas. Instead, it’s a Pink Christmas! Just because I’ve been into reds lately doesn’t mean that I’ll wear red lips both last night and today. Since I’ve already worn red yesterday, today I wanted to wear a pink lipstick. A bright pink! So I thought of MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick which I’ve only bought recently and had already worn quite a few times.

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick had first been released as a Limited Edition. I had not been able to buy it, as well as Party Parrot, when it was released a few years ago. So I was so happy when it was repromoted as part of the Permanent line. I just wish that Party Parrot will also be repromoted, too.

What MAC says about their lipsticks:

Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M•A•C famous.

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick is classified as a bright cleanest pink with a matte finish. In the bullet, it looks like a medium blue-based pink. When swatched on my arm, it is evident how cool-toned this lippie really is. I believe that this color would work on all skin tones and undertones. It will just depend on whether you like blue-based pink lipsticks.

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick is a bit pigmented. It is already semi-opaque with just 1 swipe. With 2 or more layers, more opaque coverage can be achieved.

Its texture is a bit creamy, making it really easy to apply. It glides easily and does not drag nor tug on the lips at all. It applies evenly across the lips and does not settle into lip lines. I didn’t experience any feathering, but if you’re prone to feathering, then you might want to line your lips first.

Pink Pigeon has a satin-matte finish, but after about an hour or two, the satin sheen is gone and it becomes a little bit more matte. You can also simply blot it with a clean tissue paper to get a more matte finish. I personally like to blot it because it looks better on me when it’s more matte and stain-like. I also like using it for gradation/gradient lips.

Application Tips:

☆ Exfoliate the lips well.
☆ Moisturize lips with a good lip balm. After 10 to 20 minutes, blot with a clean tissue paper to remove excess shine.
☆ Apply lip primer like MAC Prep+Prime Lip and wait for it to become tacky, about a minute.
☆ Then apply 1 layer of MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick then blot with a tissue.
☆ Apply a second layer of the lipstick and blot again.
☆ Finally, apply a third layer either on the whole lips or only on the center parts of the lips so it will appear fuller. Blot ever so lightly, just so it wouldn’t stain your teeth.

The color on my lips is a cool-toned bright medium pink. I love that it doesn’t suck the moisture from my lips although it’s not as long-lasting as my other MAC matte lipsticks. It lasts around 6 to 7 hours on my lips and after eating and drinking, reapplication is required.

I bought MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick for PhP1,000 from MAC in Mall of Asia. It is now part of the Permanent line of MAC’s lipsticks so I can use it up without fear of not being able to replace it because I can always buy more. Alternatively, it can also be bought here and here .


Mac Pink Pigeon Review Indiana

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick has the same signature vanilla scent of MAC lipsticks. I have grown to love this scent and taste that I sometimes miss them when I’m using a different brand of lipstick.

This is a very pretty pink with just enough brightness that is not overpowering. It is obvious on my lips how cool-toned it is against the warmth of my skintone, that they seem to clash, but I still love it! Better than Candy Yum Yum, if you ask me. 😉
