One of my favorite quotes and 1 that I have quoted numerous times is ‘On a bad day there is always lipstick’ No matter how depressed or down in the dumps I feel, nothing cheers me up as easily as a bright bold lipstick. Nothing is sexier & more beautiful than a perfect pout & when talking about lipsticks, everyone tends to have atleast one favorite from MAC. Some even swear by MAC Lipsticks as the best lipsticks in town and with a great variety of finishes to the most drop dead gorgeous shades, their popularity isn’t surprising.

Best MAC Lipstick Swatches & Review

Best MAC Lipstick Swatches & Review: Bright & Bold Shades!

A few more shades that I really adore and I believe should’ve been a part of the Best MAC Lipsticks in India list were Diva, Mehr, All Fired Up & Relentlessly Red. I guess we might come with a part 2 😉

Some of you might be surprised that there wasn’t a single nude lipstick from MAC featured in the list & thats simply because I felt MAC did not make flattering nude lipsticks for the Indian skintone. Some that I tried were either too pale or dark and most were MLBB shades, not nudes. However, I did end up finding my perfect nude in their lip liners ( reviewing it soon)

Do let me know your top MAC Lipsticks and which are your favorites from the list 🙂 Individual reviews to follow soon when I’m out of my lazy, totally unproductive mode 😀
