Mac Mehr Matte

MAC Lipsticks are known for their high quality, large variety of colours and finishes. There are so many MAC lipsticks to the point that a lot of colours almost look the same when just looking at the lipstick however, they can look very different after applying. To show you these slight differences, I am going to review three nude shades from the MAC Lipstick collection; MAC Faux, Mehr & Please Me.

Mac Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo, 0.10 Ounce 3.2 out of 5 stars 155. Mehr, according to MAC is a dirty blue pink matte finish lipstick. The shade is super close to Cosmo but the finish is different and it’s a tad bit pinker as compared to cosmo. I love cool toned lipsticks. I feel they add a little freshness to my face. Mehr, especially, is the kind of shade that would work on various Indian skin tones. MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick - Mehr: rated 5 out of 5 on MakeupAlley. See 91 member reviews and photos.

Looking at these lipsticks, they look very similar. You also can’t really tell that they have different kinds of finishes. You can see a slight difference in undertone, more on the pink or brown side, which can be very important depending on your skin tone and/or preferences.

Faux has a Satin finish, while Mehr and Please Me have a Matte finish. You will clearly see the differences between finishes in the swatches. On a side note: I still don’t understand the different font (sizes) on the back of the MAC lipsticks. they are so very different depending on which lipstick you pick! And I can assure you that these are all from the MAC store. There are many people who try to sell fake MAC lipsticks, which are very difficult to distinguish, especially if the print is different for each lipstick colour.

Swatches from left to right: MAC Faux (Satin), MAC Mehr (Matte) and MAC Please Me (Matte). From these swatches, you can already see a bigger difference in colour. All lipsticks are very creamy and pigmented. They also have the signature Vanilla scent that all MAC lipsticks have.

MAC Faux

MAC Faux is described as a muted mauve-pink with a satin finish. I thought that this colour would be my least favorite however, I’m in love with this colour. It has been my favorite nude lipstick for this month. The cooler mauve-y tone is very apparent in this lipstick. Since this lipstick has a satin finish, the lipstick has a subtle, creamy shine. The lipstick stays on my lips without any problems, I do have to re-apply after eating.

MAC Mehr

MAC Mehr is described as a dirty blue pink with a matte finish. Compared to Faux, this colour is a bit darker, slightly more brown-y (hence the dirty part in the description?) and more intense due to the matte finish. The matte formula of the MAC lipsticks are less matte compared to a liquid lipstick formula, and is also much more comfortable to wear.

MAC Please Me

MAC Please Me is described as a muted-rosy-tinted pink with a matte finish. This lipstick is like the description says, a lot more pink-y toned compared to the other lipsticks, which makes it looking more soft and sweet.

Mehr Mac Matte

Here are the lip swatches next to each other; MAC Faux, Mehr & Please Me. Similar, beautiful colours that are still very unique in their own way.

You can purchase MAC Faux, Mehr & Please Me for €19,00 Euro at maccosmetics.nl and at the MAC counters. I would highly suggest if you’re looking for your perfect nude colour, to visit a MAC counter, swatch to see how they look on your skin tone and ask for advice.

What is your favorite MAC nude lipstick?

MAC Mehr Lipstick

By Contributor: Samannita Modak

Mac Mehr was launched as a Limited Collection lipstick few years back with the Mickey Contactor collection along with Double Shot, Tabla and Yash. That range was an instant hit with us Indians and was sold out everywhere within weeks of its launch. Mehr was the only lipstick I wanted desperately Middle Eastern Lipstick Collection. Later Mac introduced Mehr again as part of its permanent collection. It had to! I first saw it online after reading the rave reviews and swatches..I fell in love with the shade…sounds like falling in love online! Every time I hit the MAC store in my city, it would be out of stock. I used to talk to Mehr in my tanhaayi and soon I got my hands on it!

Mac describes Mehr as a dirty blue pink. The shade looks like a pretty brown in the bullet but looks neutral rosy pink on my lips. The shade does have a little cool tone to it. It is a matte lipstick which is why I just love it. The colour didn’t show up that good in my swatches. The photos just don’t capture the pink in it. It would suit fair to medium Indian skin tones. I feel it would wash out the dusky girls. I basically use it to club with my smoky eyes looks and it works really nicely that way. Although its good to wear during the day too.

The colour resembles Cosmo a lot..although in finishes they are poles apart. Cosmo is creamy while Mehr is matte. But if you have one then you don’t need the other one. But if you are a Mac lover than you are excused to get both of them!

Even though the texture is matte, it is non-drying and glides so smoothly on lips that you might think it is from the Satin range and got launched by mistake with the matte collection! But still proper exfoliation of lips before applying it is suggested. Girls with dry lips may need a lip balm underneath it or can top it up with a clear lip gloss to avoid drying of lips. The staying power of the lipstick is approx. 6 hours. It transfers a bit but which can be ignored.

The lipstick comes in the usual black case and signature vanilla fragrance.

Let’s check the photos and swatches:

The good things about Mac Mehr lipstick:

Mac Mehr Temptalia

  • The lovely neutral dirty pink that looks fab on fair to medium Indian skin tones.
  • The lovely vanilla fragrance
  • Its matte but still glides easily on lips.
  • Light weight
  • Quite pigmented – One or two swipes are enough to give opaque coverage.

Now the bad things about the matte lipstick:

  • As it is the hottest selling shade, you might not find it most of the times because it is out of stock mostly
  • Dry lips girls should apply a lip balm or gloss with the lipstick.

Price: Rs.990

Mac Mehr Matte

My final word: Mac Mehr lipstick is a must buy for those neutral pink lovers but still I feel it is not an unusual shade and you can easily find some dupes of it at an affordable price but still a MAC is MAC! Its a dirty cool pink which would wash out dusky skin tones. Both Mehr and Cosmo are quite similar when it comes to the shade. So if you like creamy lipsticks then go for Cosmo and Mehr for matte texture.
