I have been wearing Spice it Up since it first came out over 16 years ago. It is a great mulberry red-brown shade. It is a lustre & all that comes with the lustre formula (light, juicy, usually surp...Read more

This is my first MAC product, bought because they had a deal going on around Cyber Monday. I have to say, I'm not disappointed in the purchase. My mood was for something sheer, and when I came across ...Read more

I've been a fan of this lipstick color for 20 years, it's my go-to easy to wear safe-for daytime red that works well with my pale/warm (C3) coloring. I would describe this as a sheer warm berry red wi...Read more

This is definitely a mid-toned berry with brown undertones on my NC42 complexion. It's quite a sheer product, from the 'Lustre' line of MAC Lippies. I think it's a good every day colour because it's a...Read more

If you have olive skin and are looking for a foolproof red that works for all occasions, then this is your shade. I like the way it looks in the tube, but it's even better on (I'm a medium olive-tone...Read more

Love it! This was my very first MAC lipstick. The only lipstick I've ever used up, I am on my second tube. For reference I am NC45, with dark lips. It is a very flattering red, with brown/wine underto...Read more

I have a friend who bought this and said she'd trade it out for diva. The colors are sort of similar just a different in brightness. Also being that diva is a matte she liked the dry look better.

Unfortunately this product really disappointed me. I had hoped for a sheer warm berry red, but on my lips this is a rather garish fuchsia shade that looks terrible with my coloring. Such a shame as sw...Read more

I've worn this shade for years, but after when I ran out and just didn't get around to rebuying it, I'm wondering if they've changed the shade or if I'm mistaken. It used to be a lovely dark brownish-...Read more

Great starter red. Its a lustre finish so its not in your face, opaque red. works great as a lip stain or under a lip gloss.

Very nice sheer brownish-berry-red. I like it a lot, but I already have MAC Hot Tahiti, which is similar but more natural-looking on me. I purchased this because it was recommended for redheads as a...Read more

This is a safe red. I can put this on and not worry about looking too done up or like a clown (not that red l/s equals clownish but I'm uncomfortable w/ it). The color is quite unique actually. The ...Read more

So this is the kind of lipstick I always go for, but it's my HG red. It looks very dark in the tube but I dab a little on with some lipgloss and it sheers out. Also very nice as a stain. I've tried th...Read more
