Review:

Pink Plaid is a matte finish lipstick.This lipstick comes in a black, hard plastic container with MAC printed on it in silver. Pinks are my favourite when it comes to lipsticks. I am always looking out for different pinks and by now I have a pretty good collection of pink lipsticks in my make-up stash. When I first saw this colour it appeared to me as one of those amazing every-day-pinks. And that is when before giving it a second thought I purchased it. Sadly this MAC pink did not show up that good of a colour on my lips as it seemed too, in other words did not meet my expectations of a gorgeous pink. Pink Plaid is a light pink with blue undertones (as suggested by MAC). It appears very pale on me and for this reason I cannot wear this lipcolour alone, like never! On my Asian skin tone Pink Plaid appears more as a nude-pink and over all I look really pale when wearing this lipcolour.  For the reference I am NC 30. 

This is one of those lipsticks for which you cannot completely rely on the reviews and swatches online. You have to and have to try on this lipstick because in my view this lipstick will show up differently on different people. Therefore I apply Pink Plaid in combination with my other pink lipcolours to get the desired pink colour. I usually wear it with MAC's Chatter Box . 

As mentioned earlier, this is a matte finish lipstick. This is probably one of the finest matte lipsticks I have ever come across! If I draw a comparison between Color Studio Pure Matte collection to MAC's matte finish I think Pink Plaid turns out to be an amazing matte finish lipstick. First thing which comes to our minds when we hear the word "matte" is drying, right? This lipstick is not at all drying and yet matte at the same time! Even when I wear this lipcolour alone it never dries out my lips nor does it highlight the dry, cracked areas on my lips which is the worst side of a usual matte lipstick. Thus one can use this lipstick all year round be it summers or winters.

The longevity of this lipstick is pretty good. It stays put on my lips for a good 4-5 hours if I don't eat or drink in this between. With meals, it tends to feather away slightly. The vanilla scent of the lipstick is divine, like the rest of the MAC lipsticks. The consistency of the lipstick is creamy. Does not bleed out if applied with a lip liner. Colour pay off is pretty good too, I don't really have to struggle with getting the actual colour. Just a single swipe and am done!

Over-all I think I have better pinks and this is not one of my favourite MAC lipsticks. But I think the MAC's matte range is definitely worth a try if you are a matte lipstick lover! There are plenty of other options to choose from.
