Hello! I decided to do some side by side lip swatches of the new Mac Holiday Naughty Nude, bare lips no liner in bathroom light near a window. I have fair neutral olive skin but have a “tan” at the moment (I am not wearing foundation in these photos) my closest typical foundation match is Mac NC5. I only swatched lips that I would consider concealer lips on me, for example Crème Cup and Honeylove are mid toned on me. I did had swatched of those in another post if you are interested. I’ll share what I shared in the other post, Naughty Nude is ok, but not groundbreaking. It will also not be super nude or concealer lip on you unless you are light medium or darker. Enjoy!

Hello! I just got my Mac Holiday in the mail and I know people are going crazy for this! I swatched some popular Mac shades and the new Natasha Denona Soft Serve.

The lighting it neutral indoor/bathroom light. I may do more in daylight but it’s storming here so it’s still pretty dark.

My skin tone-I’m a fair neutral olive but my hands are pretty “tan” for me right now. My closest MAC shade is NC5. So concealer lips always look dark on me.

My verdict? It’s ok. Applied to the lips it looks very similar to Honeylove but satin, maybe a shade lighter. It also leans more beige with some pink than a pinky beige if that makes sense? I prefer the Natasha Denona Soft Serve better but I don’t like that formula as much, MAC formula can’t be beat.

Hi everybody, I just joined yesterday. I think I am an olive (light neutral warm olive?? No idea) and have real struggle to find the right concealer and foundation. I cannot figure out my undertone. I did the test on Natasha Denona web and it says peach yellow most likely. Whatever that means.

I like to go for something with really natural finish and light to medium coverage (for my face). Under eyes depending on the day.

So, I swatched everything I have and I think nothing really matches me well. So any suggestion on a shade would be very helpful. Photos in natural lighting.
