Shade, Pigmentation, Consistency – MAC Viva Glam Taraiji P. Henson Lipstick is a bright fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. As it have a soft and creamy texture, lipstick was easy to glide on lips, so smooth to apply. It sat comfortably on lips without drying or settling on fine lines of lips. I never felt the formula to be streaky or dry.
MAC Viva Glam Taraiji P. Henson Lipglass is a medium raspberry pink with fuchsia-red micro-shimmer in a glossy finish. It’s a limited edition shade. Very pretty I’d say.
Both the shades are nicely pigmented and when applied alone too, one swipe gives the intense application. for more intensity, You’d layer the product effortlessly without feeling heavy on lips. I love the fact that lip glass wasn’t sticky. It was very comfortable to wear and was hydrating enough.
Longevity – Shade lasted about 5-6 hours on my lips and it left a beautiful stain. Even though the shades have cool undertones, I felt the shades are universally flattering.
Enjoy more pictures and swatches!
I really like when companies come forward to spread love and peace by supporting a cause and spreading happiness and beauty. You get this beautiful lipstick and the proccedings straight go to helping a lot of people in the process.
The lipstick and the gloss definitely makes a punching combo. Looks amazing when worn.
Thanks dear
