– A surprisingly wearable Barbie Pink lip colour for all WOC. It also has the best, most comfortable finish. – A perfect colour for those having trouble trying to find a salmon/coral that looks nice on darker or yellow undertoned skin. – Every time I see this colour on fairer East Asian women I die over how perfect it looks. – Amazing on darker black women and I quite like it on those with yellow undertones as well.

If you need to buy a lipstick for your mom this is your best bet.(satin) This should look good on NC35-NC45 skin tones as ‘Kylie Jenner’ option and on deeper skin tones as a nude. I think it’s a good everyday colour to have and I like it on myself, but I’ve never gotten compliments on it, so take from that what you will. – A very popular colour among South Asians which my NC40/42 friend loves. But you’ll have to like the amount of pink.

This would make a nice nude on fairer Asian, Black and South Asian skin. – Too pink for those with strong yellow undertones and too light for many darker black women. It’s a good basic to have but it’s boring and you could probably get the job done with a Rimmel lipstick, especially because of the ‘sheer’ finish. – A more brown toned nude which will work well for most WOC as a work appropriate lipstick. When I refer to ‘fairer Asian women’ I’m thinking of those with complexions like Korean pop stars. When I refer to ‘strong yellow undertones’ I’m mentally picturing South Asians with complexions like my own, Latinas, and darker Asian women (Filipinas/Vietnamese). They were an industry leader in creating products that worked for women of all different colouring and still have the largest lipstick range of any brand I believe. Regardless of the other selection of lipsticks other brands carry MAC has a special place in many of our hearts.
