Mac Matte Lipsticks For Dark Skin
Flattering Lipstick Colors For Dark Skin. Finding the perfect lipstick is not always an easy task. There are many factors that affect how a lipstick will look on you: how well it adheres to your lips, how pigmented the lipstick is, and of course, the color of the lipstick. Aug 21, 2019 I talked to two celebrity makeup artists to find these 15 best lipsticks for dark skin tones, from brands like MAC, Pat McGrath, Fenty Beauty, Nars, and more. 'This shade is a bright purple similar to MAC Heroine,' explains Moore. 'It looks amazing on a variety of dark skin tones. It's what I like to call a moisture matte because it has tons of pigment. Tip: You can wear this lip matte with a shimmery eye, or pop a gloss on top of it to amplify it and pair with a matte eye look.' Mar 04, 2013 OR What are the best lipsticks for dark skin? OR What are the best MAC lipsticks for my skin tone? Answer: Good question! There are MAC lipsticks I find myself always going back to, and lipsticks I always find that makeup artists use on me. For a darker color, DIVA matte looks GREAT on women of color as well.
Lipstick: the iconic product that made MAC famous. Shade, define, and accentuate the lips with hundreds of hues in high-fashion textures. Free shipping. The following are the best MAC matte lipstick shades that work beautifully on various skin tones. Most of these matte lipsticks are less than $20 per tube, making them a reasonably priced addition to any makeup bag or collection.
MAC Lipstick Collection Part 1: Lipstick Swatches on Dark Skin!
Hey guys! I just wanted to come on and do a blog post to go with my MAC Lipstick collection, since so many of you enjoyed it! MAC Lipsticks are some of the first high end products I bought a bunch of. When I first started experimenting with lipsticks, I dabbled in Revlon and turned immediately to MAC for high end options. I was a college senior at the time, and since there were no MAC stores in Hanover, New Hampshire I had to buy all my lippies on line. It was tough, especially since there weren’t a lot of swatch videos with these colors for women with my skin tone. That’s why I felt so strongly about doing this video, and so I hope you all enjoy!
The Nudes
MAC “Taupe”
Matte finish, terracotta shade. Gorgeous peachy nude for darker skin, but doubles as a gorgeous warm terracotta brown for fairer skin. All around gorgeous lippy. If you are prone to dry lips, then try using a balm underneath!
Perfect for a dramatic cat eye, a daytime smokey eye, or any other sultry eye makeup look. This lipstick screams sensuality.

MAC “Blankety”
Creamy, amplified finish, beige nude. Very pale, so most medium-dark complexions will need a liner with this. When used with the right liner though, it is absolutely beautiful on almost every skin tone. My favorite liners for this lippy are Sephora Chic Choco liner, Wet’n’Wild Plumberry Lip Liner, and NYX Earthtone and Chestnut lip liners.
Perfect for more dramatic eye makeup looks, like a glittery lid, a colorful eyeshadow look, or a classic smokey eye.

MAC “Double Shot”
Creamy, amplified finish. Milk chocolate nude, with a pale rose undertone. Perfect low maintenance nude for darker skin, and a gorgeous deep nude for lighter skin tones. Simple and subtle, this nude lipstick is easily one of my all time favorites. It is almost like a my lip color, but way better shade and the subtle shine give a nice romantic touch.
This go to shade works for almost every look! For me, it is the perfect nude for a no-makeup makeup look, work makeup, or an everyday cat eye. It also works beautifully for more dramatic looks, so the choice is yours!

“The Nudes” Lipstick Swatches
The Mauves
MAC “Verve”
Mauve shade with brick red undertone, satin finish. MAC describes it as a muted brownish plum, and it is the same shade as the Viva Glam III. While the Viva Glam is a matte finish, Verve is a satin finish. This is another my lip but better shade for medium-dark skin tones, but with some edge.
Perfect for post work happy hours. I also love this as an everyday vampy mauve for fall, or as a soft and romantic lip to go with a date night look.

MAC “Amorous”
MAC has described this shade as a “lovestruck cranberry,” though I think that description is better suited to Verve. I would describe Amorous as a truemauve shade, with a gorgeous plum undertone and a satin finish. This is a gorgeous Kyle Jenner lip for darker skinned ladies, and the satin finish gives it a nice creamy wear.
This is one of my all time faves! It is a gorgeous effortless vampy shade for days out when you want a little edge. Beautiful everyday lipstick for the fall and winter months.

MAC “Twig”
MAC described this shade as a “soft muted brownish pink” with a satin finish, and I think this is pretty accurate. That being said, these descriptions are often geared towards much fairer skin tones than my own. On my complexion, it is more pink than brown but it is somewhat muted. The effect is a mauvey-nude color that is perfect for everyday!
This is one of my all time favorite mauve-nude lipsticks for darker skin tones. Ultimate bridal lip, but also looks works beautifully for school or the office.
