Hey everyone!
Last year too, I flagged off the new year with a MAC product review on the Blog, and this new year too, I will continue with this ‘tradition’! Lol, just lends more weightage to the review! ?
So I’m reviewing the MAC matte lipstick Taupe today! Read on to know why I love it so much!
About MAC Matte lipstick- Taupe: Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.Price: Rs. 990 for 3g
Packaging: The lipstick comes in the standard MAC packaging- black case with matte-silver details.
Ingredients: Mentioned in the picture below ?
My take on MAC Matte lipstick- Taupe: I had been on the lookout for my HG n*de lipstick for a long time, and I finally found it in Taupe. MAC describes it as a muted reddish-taupe brown lipstick, and it is just that. A little brownish in shade, this one goes on as the perfect n*de on my NC-42 skintone and pigmented lips. It has medium pigmentation, covers my lip pigmentation completely, and has a matte finish. You need well prepped lips before applying this one, because matte+ n*de can be a bad combo for chapped, dry lips. Otherwise my favorite shade to wear with heavy smokey eyes. Stays on for a good 3-4 hours, after which a bit of touch-up with lip-balm+ lipstick can make the combo stay for a couple of more hours. It has the signature MAC vanilla fragrance, which I kinda like. Overall, a great n*de shade for a lot of us with yellow skin-tones ? Do try it ?
PS: Make-up breakdown and eye makeup tutorial here.
Pros of MAC Matte lipstick- Taupe: Which macs are compatible with yosemite.
- Smooth texture
- Matte finish (my favorite)
- Stays on for a good 3-4 hours
- MLBB shade for those with yellow skin undertones
Cons of MAC Matte lipstick- Taupe: None, except you need nicely scuffed/ prepped lips before application, else the dryness may make the lipcolor patchy.
Verdict: If you, like me, have been on the lookout for an MLBB (my lips but better) shade, do give this one a shot. Try it at the store before buying, though. I personally have found my HG n*de shade, and I’m totally in love! <3

In Detail MAC D for Danger Matte Lipstick Review, Swatches and My Experience
Packaging
The lipstick comes in a matte black and white printed rectangular cardboard box which bears all the necessary information. The actual lipstick has a matte black and silver body which is very strong and sturdy.
There is a white coloured sticker glued on the bottom which carries the lipstick name and number. The cap shuts lock which closes tightly and ensures that the lipstick is travel friendly. It can be carried along easily without any hassle. I have MAC Taupe lipstick always with me in my handbag and travelling with it did not cause any damage to it.
Texture & Finish.
The texture of the lipstick is very smooth and soft. It glides on my lips very smoothly as well as effortlessly without pulling or tugging my lips. I did apply it with a very light hand without putting in a lot of pressure like their retro matte ones.
The lipstick has a faint vanilla smell which pleases me and does not bother me at all. Though the lipstick is matte, it does not dry out my lips. The finish it gives is not completely matte. Its kind of provides a semi matte finish.
I do not feel a need of applying a lip balm underneath but if you are person who has extremely dry, flaky lips than a lip balm is essential for you. For me these matte lipsticks are quite moisturising.
MAC D for Danger Shade details
Mac describes the shade D for Danger as a brick red shade which is totally different. The shade D for Danger is a very beautiful Magenta color. The shade looks so gorgeous on my medium to dusky skin (MAC NC 42). When I wear it, everyone asks me that what shade I am wearing.
The shade is a very muted kinda of magenta shade which does not look too on your face or stark so it can be worn at day time as well. I always pair it with a white outfit and it looks bomb. The shade will look good on all skin tones and for deeper skin tone girls this can be a perfect dark pink lipstick.
Staying Power
Mac Taupe Swatch
The lipstick stayed on my lips for about max 4 hours without meal. The staying power also depends on the amount and type of food and fluid intake. With very oily food the lipstick will completely wear off from between the lips which does not look presentable.
It does transfer as it is semi matte and not completely matte like retro matte ones. It does not settle into fine lines nor it dries off the lips further and it also will not accentuate the dry patches of lips. The shade d for danger on coming off leaves a beautiful stain on lips which is little hard to get rid of completely.

MBF Advises
Mac Taupe Lipstick
- For making the lipstick last more longer apply a nice same colored lip liner.
- If you have extremely dry lips exfoliate and than apply this lipstick.
- If you’re on a budget, I will suggest you to skip this lipstick as there are a lot of lipsticks available in indian market at an affordable rate and staying power. But if you are a lipstick lover like me and like to hoard them no matter what than you can try them out.
