MAC Red and Orange Matte Lipsticks Swatches

Scheduled post today, kids, I’ll be back on Sunday!

I love MAC Matte lipsticks, so I thought I’d do a quick comparison of the orange/reds I have, mainly to convince myself I do NOT need any more.

Lady Danger

Lady Danger is a super bright tomato red. It’s only available in pro stores which is such a shame as it’s beautiful. I really don’t get why this isn’t more widely available.

So Chaud

So Chaud indeed! A bright red-leaning orange. It’s definitely orange to my eyes, although I see a lot of people list it as a red. If you’re scared of orange but would like to give it a go, well… this is really in your face, so I don’t think it would help with the fear factor but it is stunning. Obsessed with this colour.

Russian Red

Classic  red, leaning blue-based. Lovely pin-up colour and I think it would suit a lot of people. I need to wear this colour much more than I do!

Such Flare!

Very Similar to Russian Red, but somewhat brighter. On the lips it looks more pink that RR to me, but looking at them together I’m not so sure. This was LE from the Glitter and Ice collection but you don’t need it if you have Russian Red already.

Viva Glam 1

Not too bright, not too dark – slightly brick-toned, perhaps? For a good cause and in my opinion will suit almost everyone. No arguments!

L-R: So Chaud, Lady Danger, Such Flare!, Russian Red, Viva Glam 1.

I need to stop buying lipsticks that are all the same :/
