Beautiful reddish brown in the MAC Lustre formula, which I just love. I hadn't worn this color in a while and just recently pulled it back out in order to give all my lipsticks some love and I'm so g...Read more

Don't get frightened by the color in the tube. Desire is the perfect berry stain (as many have said already). I find that dabbing it on the lips instead of smearing gets the best "desired" effect. ...Read more

This is such a fabulous colour. It will always be a staple in my rotation of lipsticks because of its sheen and overall flexibility (I always need a berry lipstain on hand and this one is near close t...Read more

This was one of the first MAC lipsticks I ever had back when it was a tone finish. And it's about to be discontinued! I bought a last one just for that bit of my heart that is forever 1994. Yeah, it l...Read more

my absolute favorite lipstick ever. I've been using it since about 1993, or earlier.

I've been going back to that lipstick for more then 10 years. It's a HG product. On my C7/NW40 skin, that dark berry color does wonder. For some reason, it does make my teeth look whiter!

not really a big fan. Makes my NC42 complexion look muddy and brings out a gross undertone in my skin. I stay away from these purple plums.

I love this lipstick! I like that it stays on a long time and it is the perfect shade to create that 'stained' look if you just blot it on for those who are darker skinned like myself. It also looks g...Read more

I love this color for a day look. It really highlights my skin tone. Its hard to find a dark wine/red that is dark enough, and has more orangy undertones than blue. This shade from mac has it all. ...Read more

I originally had Desire in l/g, but I find myself using the l/s more. I sometimes layer the two or I line and fill my lips with Origin's Raisin liner, put on Desire l/s, and then I follow with Urban ...Read more

This is an okay lipstick I ran across a couple of days ago. I forgot I had it. It is a brownish plum lipstick which is somewhat sheer. I never really use it much because it is so similar in color to C...Read more

This lipstick shade is an old stand-by, especially for fall. I find myself replacing it again and again. I'm probably on my fourth or fifth tube. I've been wearing it for years. At one point, I wo...Read more

I used to like this color a lot. Too fake purple for me now. Not very good staying power. Wouldn't repurchase.

This is a nice berry-wine that you can stain your lips with for a day look or put on creamier for a more dramatic effect. I find MAC lipsticks to be too dry though. I like a lipstick to be creamy enou...Read more

Great berry colour for everyday. I'm an NC45 and this is my staple colour. Used over lip balm it gives a slight stain that brightens up the face. It can be easily layered on for a more intense colour....Read more
