MAC lipstick (Viva Glam VI SE) Review

Against porcelain skin, Viva Glam VI SE is THE perfect "natural-but-better" shade - for darker skin tones, I'm sure it would make a lovely soft rose. I'm usually hesitant to wear neutrals, but I was drawn to the subtly shimmery finish. This lipstick is just as long-wearing as all other MAC lipsticks (which I strongly recommend). 

To add a little drama, I like to add a sheer bit of MAC Blackware glimmerglass over the side edges (but be careful to use primer/lipliner, as Blackware bleeds and the smooth finish of this lipstick doesn't help matters).

My only slight complaint is that there isn't much weight to the formula of this particular lipstick - to the point lips will feel almost bare (though never dry).

100% of the purchase price of this (and all other MAC Viva Glam products) goes to the MAC AIDS Fund, which is an added bonus. Although this charity status makes it exempt from the Back 2 MAC program, the empty Viva Glam containers can still be redeemed.
