MAC Breathing Fire Matte Lipstick Review, Swatches: Hello Guys. After reviewing so many Mac lipsticks here on MBF, I am back with another lipstick review of Mac from their Matte lipstick collection.

In Detail MAC Breathing Fire Matte Lipstick Review, Swatches and My Experience
The Mac matte lipstick breathing fire as usual comes in its standard black colored rectangle shaped cardboard box with few information related to the lipsticks printed on it. The actual lipstick has a shinny black colored bullet which has a silver twister and has a round top cap which closes with a shut.
The shade name and number is printed on the bottom of the lipsticks which makes it easy to locate the shade in the box. The packaging of the lipstick in its self looks and feels very luxurious, good quality as well as sturdy. Hence can be carried along without any fear.
It has a very mild vanilla fragrance which isn’t over powering. Though the smell vanishes very quickly.
Mac Pink Pigeon On Indian Skin Tone
Mac describes the shade Breathing Fire a bright warm fuschia which is very true. If you are between Nc42 to Nc 45 and the shade Candy Yum Yum and Pink Pigeon washes you out like me than you should definitely give this shade a shot.
Mac Pink Pigeon On Indian Skin Color
I really loved this shade and also enjoy wearing it especially at night time and in day. I just dab it a little on my lips to get that perfect barbie pink kind of a stain. This shade has more sort of a warm pink undertone than that of Pink pigeon. But if you are more darker than Mc45 than it may wash you out.
The finish is matte and the texture is so smooth. I don’t feel any pulling or tugging on my lips while applying the lipstick. As the lipstick is matte so application of lip balm prior applying the lipstick is suggested for extremely dry lips. And proper exfoliation is must before applying this lipstick else one will end up with flaky lips.
I don’t have flaky lips so I don’t feel a need to apply lip balm. I directly apply it and than dab it with my fingers a bit to tone down the brightness.
The shade is really beautiful & pigmented. It is opaque in two swipes and there is no need to apply it again and again. Also the color is perfect to wear as a stain for a day time no makeup look.
It stays on my lips for about 4 hours with light meals. I did not seen any feathering or smudging whatsoever. In fact it fades evenly and on fading it leaves a beautiful light pink tinge on lips which looks so good and natural.
Being a matte lipstick it doesn’t settles into my fine lines as well. Removing it is also easy it just comes off with a wet wipes and does not consume a lot of time.

Hello lovelies!
Lipstick is a girl’s second best friend, the first one is smile undoubtedly. With that note on mind, today I am going to write about some pink lipsticks that will complement Indian skin tone. It was an arduous journey to find the right shade of pink that I can flaunt easily without looking eerie. Most of the pink shades that everybody was raving about on internet made me look washed out and pale. But some of them really did a good job to bring out my complexion. Before I dig into my findings let me tell you girls, I am a lipstick lover. I love them so much that every now and then I have to put a checklist on myself not to spend too much on them. Also I am on a constant quest for searching the right shade of pinks, reds and nudes that will add value to my make up vanity. For today’s review I am adding my top 5 pink shades from my lipstick collection.
From Left to Right: Clarins Pink Blossom, Mac Speed dial, Buxom Pink Decoy, Mac Pink Pigeon and Mac Pink Plaid.
Clarins Rouge Eclat lipstick in 25 Pink Blossom:
Mac Pink Pigeon On Indian Skin Tones
This is my go to favorite pink shade of all time. This is a warm pink color with a hint of coral in it. Here is a tip, any pink with coral undertone looks fab on warm skin tone. Pink blossom is highly pigmented and only two to three swipes gives you the perfect color. The formula is creamy with a glossy finish. It glides on easily with a high color output. It stays for almost 3-4 hours before it starts to wear off with moderate drinking and eating. It leaves a nice soft stain once it wears off. You have to reapply every 4 hours or after a meal. If you are thinking for some time now to invest in a beautiful pink lip color that can be your next holy grail look no further, you already found one.

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in shade Speed Dial:
From Left to Right: Speed Dial, Pink Pigeon and Pink Plaid.
As the name itself suggests, this can be an SOS emergency pink shade for anybody. This is a light bluish pink that I absolutely love. This is one of those rare bluish pink lipsticks that I was able to carry on effortlessly. The formula is creamy with high shine. It is highly opaque and gives you the desired amount of color with just two swipes. The staying power again is around 4 hours which I do not mind. Undoubtedly one of the best bluish pink out there for warm skinned beauties.
Mac Matte Lipstick in Pink Pigeon:
This is a very bright pink with a cool tones in it. This is the brightest pink shade among all. I wanted a bright pink shade very badly so I experimented between Mac Candy Yum Yum and this. I was not brave enough to flaunt the neon Candy Yum Yum and settled for this one instead. This will look good on Indian/warm skin tone. This again is highly pigmented and stays for a full 5 hours. If you desire to be experimental with a bright cool toned pink then there is no need to wait.
Mac Matte Lipstick in Pink Plaid:
I am adding this one in my review because your pink shade box is not complete without a nude pink lippie. It is hard for me to find a good nude pink for my skin tone because sometimes they make me look ghostly or sick. This one is a muted nude pink that looks perfect on my skin tone if I pair it up with some bright eye make up. This one is highly opaque and matte, stays on the lips for a good 5 hours before it fades out leaving a stain.

Buxom Bold Gel Lipstick in Pink Decoy Matte:
I tried this one because I got fascinated with the gel lip thing. To be honest I could not decipher the difference between a plain matte lipstick and this gel matte version. But I am in love with this color. This is a hot warm pink shade that compliments my skin tone. This one has a coral undertone in it. The texture is matte but it glides on easily. Maybe the gel part in the lipstick is responsible for the effortless gliding. Highly opaque formula. The staying power is a little higher, around 5-6 hours with moderate drinking and snacking. If you are looking for a warm matte pink with coral undertone then this is it.
Hope you all enjoyed. See you all in my next review.
