Magenta is a Purplish Pink which you can use with hot pink lipsticks, berries if you want to brighten them up and purplish pink shades like Flat Out Fabulous, Rebel and Up the Amp from MAC. CURRANT Currant is an Intense Redish Purple. 06-sep-2015 - MAC Labiales Matte / Lip Matte 2015 Steady going, Please Me, Men Love Mistery, Candy Yum Yum, Pink pigeon, Flat out Fabulous, Matte Royal, Heroine. Pink Pigeon is my alternative for MAC’s famous Candy Yum Yum as that one is more neon and slightly lighter I just can’t pull it off. But Pink Pigeon is my perfect bright pink lipstick. Im-passioned if I’m being honest I don’t like all that much, its a very redy pink but I can’t make it work for me.

MAC Lipsticks: Pink Pigeon & Flat out Fabulous. 17 juli 2015 Beauty. Laatst maakte ik een wishlist van MAC lipsticks die ik nog graag wil toevoegen aan mijn collectie. Net daarvoor had ik twee nieuwe kleuren besteld en wel twee hele mooie roze tinten voor de zomer. Ik vind roze tinten nog altijd het mooiste en ben daarom blij dat ik deze twee. #MAC Pink Pigeon vs. Maybelline POW 2 Another dupe for $6 which is a very safe switch from pink pigeon.I wouldn’t really call it matte as the swatches seem to reveal a tad more of shine which wears off eventually.Texture is pretty smooth and stays on for around 4 hours after which you need a reapplication. MAC Flat Out Fabulous; This one is perhaps the second favorite Retro Matte lipstick after Ruby Woo. This one is a purple based blue-toned fuchsia. It is not exactly purple but a perfect blend between pink and purple. The shade looks flattering on all skin types. The formula is extreme matte but not as drying as Ruby Woo. Price- Rs.1650 for 3gm. MAC Mocha – medium-dark peachy brown. It has a satin finish; 4-5 hours of wear time MAC Glamour Era – medium-dark brown with warm, peachy undertones and a very slight shimmer. And at last coming to my favorite shades from pink are from left to right direction: – Pink pigeon, Daddy’s little girl and Love forever!

I love all MAC lipsticks and wear them on a daily basis. I usually stick to the neutrals but I like to rock a bold lip when I’m feeling super girly! So here’s my Bright Pink collection.
(Left to Right – Pink Nouveau, Pink Pigeon, Viva Glam Miley Cyrus, Girl About Town, Flat Out Fabulous).
Pink Nouveau – Satin
Pink Nouveau is a medium toned pink with cool blue undertones. As it’s a satin it’s incredibly creamy and glides on smoothly. It looks rather bright on me so I like to tone it down with a deeper liner such as ‘Beet’ by MAC. It’s a nice colour and is a popular shade but I don’t get as much use out of it as I would like.
Pink Pigeon – Matte
Pink Pigeon is not a shade I hear people often talking about. It is a bright pink very similar to Candy Yum Yum by MAC but it’s not as florescent therefore making it a lot more wearable. It’s a super fun barbie party kind of colour but I like to occasionally wear this during the day for a pop of colour when the rest of my makeup is simple. Be warned, this DOES stain your lips!
Viva Glam Miley Cyrus – Amplified
VG Miley Cyrus is part of MACs Viva Glam line and I believe it is a limited edition shade. It’s a wonderful warm toned fuchsia with complete opacity in a couple of swipes since it is an amplified finish. It has a lovely glossy finish and once it wears down it leaves a beautiful stain on your lips. Excellent choice of colour for special occasions or a night out but it can also be worn during the day with a simple winged liner on the eyes and nothing else and you look complete.
Girl About Town – Amplified
Girl About Town is the sister shade of Viva Glam Miley Cyrus. It’s also an amplified fuchsia but is a lot more blue undertones and is slightly deeper in colour. A favourite of mine and I love to wear it during the day with a simple eye look without looking too much. It also leaves behind a lovely stain on the lips once it gradually fades away.
Flat Out Fabulous – Retro Matte
Flat Out Fabulous is a retro matte finish, so once it’s on the lips it won’t budge and last for ages and can easily take you through the night without requiring a top up. It is a deep fuchsia colour which can also look purple at times which is still beautiful. It’s perfect for a night out but again makes for a perfect bold lip to make a statement. By far my favourite pink out of the collection!
Here’s some side by side arm and lip swatches.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the swatches and reading about each shade and feel inspired to go bright and go pink!

You know what’s funny—like not even six months ago I wasn’t into pinks so much but I SURE did put a lot of pinks into this series…lol. More than even what has come to be known as my signature–red! I had some overflow from the pinks and had to create a category to put the shades that are kinda coral-y and those that are plummy but not vampy so you’ve got this ;)
In case you’re coming to this series for the first time, you totally want to check out Part 1: The Nudes, Part 2: The Pinks, and Part 3: The Reds. I also want to remind you again, I did all of these in one sitting so if you look close and my lips look like they might have been on fire, it’s because they were…lol. But I committed to this and pushed through wiping off and putting on 50 shades of lipstick back to back because like Jay-Z once uttered in rhyme “I do this for my culture.” :D
If you love what I’ve done here, please feel free to share via Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook—put please make sure you tag me and link to this post. Also please don’t take these pics and my words and use them on your blog posts—don’t do me like that…lol. I’ve already had an incident like that happen (like Antoine Dobson said “We will find you!” lol) and it doesn’t feel pretty which is why I have the “watermark” that looks like it came from the Mr. T collection all up and through these pics. It takes away from the beauty of Nas of Nasilele Photography‘s beautiful work of photographing me (hit her up if you need wedding, anniversary, family portraits, head shots, or if you’re like me and want to have great photos of yourself while all your limbs still work) but the internet is kinda like NYC in the late 70s and 80s :x
Also how cute is this canvas I ordered from Nas of a photo she took of me earlier this year? I seriously need to re-do my whole entire home life and have a wall dedicated to photos of me—you know, to counter all the bad ones of me out there…lol.
Anyway, let’s get into this!
What is that game where you collect pigeon feathers. Sleek MakeUP Fandango Purple, a matte magenta that looks so much like MAC Flat Out Fabulous (goes on like a gloss and dries matte)
Milani Uptown Mauve, a cream with shine magenta pink
black UP #19, a satin coral pink with a teeny bit of shimmer
Tom Ford Crimson Noir, a satin tomato (neutral) red
Votre Vu Margaux, a cream with shine berry red (OMG this lipstick is SOOOO comfy and moisturizing—it was like a relief to put it on after my lips went through 27 other lipsticks before it–sold here)
Hourglass Opaque Rouge in Empress, a matte rosy pink (goes on like a gloss, dries matte)
MAC Pink Pigeon, a matte bright bubble gum pink
black UP #18, a satin coral
Milani Sangria, a cream berry red similar to MAC Rebel
