Hey all!! I am
back with another MAC lipstick review today. I have never (!!!!!) visited a MAC
store till now, and all my MAC stuff reaches me through my friends. My first
MAC lipstick, or lipsticks (I had got three of them at one go) was bought on my
behalf by my bestie Madhubani after I had literally eaten her head for few
months regarding which shades I should purchase :D We had zeroed in three
options- a true red, a warm hot pink and an MLBB. Thus, Ruby Woo, Impassioned
and Mocha landed in my kitty.
(Read my take on Mocha here).

My take:
I am NC 35-40 in
MAC Studiofix foundation chart. For those who are alien to the MAC complexion
charts, I am fair-wheatish with strong yellow undertones. Luckily, almost all
warm and cool shades of lipsticks suit me equally, except the ice-pinks or extreme
bluish purples. I am comfortable in wearing all shades of red and bright pinks
on my lips. I had found a total love in Faces Ultime Pro lipstick “Read my Lips” which is a perfect reddish pink for evening parties. I had expected that
I would feel the same about MAC Impassioned. Read on to see if that held true

MAC Impassioned is a bright
warm pink almost verging on the neon side. The shade is so gorgeous that it
would instantly brighten the faces of fair-skinned beauties even more. Unfortunately, the shade looked garish on
me when used alone. I can wear Impassioned after blotting it twice with a
tissue to reduce the neon intensity or after topping it with a nude shade L If it had a bit of red undertones to it, I
guess I could wear it with ease. Have a look at the wrist swatch:

Texture-wise, I am
a fan of MAC’s Matte and Satin range of lipsticks. This is because lipsticks
from those range gives an opaque coverage just with the first swipe across the
lips. As for MAC Impassioned from the Amplified Crème range, I have to swipe it
across my slightly pigmented lips almost thrice to get the true color on the
lips. Once applied, it doesn’t feel heavy and lips feel moisturized too, unlike
the matte range.
Staying
power is pretty long (even
though it transfers) and Impassioned leaves a strong pink tint on my lips even
when it’s wiped off the lips. I have to use a makeup remover twice or thrice to
get the color off completely from my lips.
In a nutshell, I
would have given full marks to Impassioned if it had just a bit of red tint to
it. That way, it could suit all complexions. But then, this is a TOTAL winner
for fair –skinned beauties J
Pigmentation: 3.8/5
Texture: 3.7/5
Staying power: 4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendation: MAC
Impassioned is a true bright hot pink which would come out neon on wheatish and
deeper complexions. I would recommend this shade to only fair skinned ladies.
Enjoy the pics
