I am a true Macoholic (a term used to describe crazy Mac
fans). I am crazy about their eyeshadows and blushes but what attracts me
almost every week to the Mac counter is their amazing collection of lipsticks. I
don’t review them much because I simply don’t know what to write about them.
They are simply the best. The texture, the amazing colors and the range is
simply fantastic. One lippi which is a favorite forever is the Mac Captive. Mac
describes this lipstick as “pinkish plum” which I must say is a very good
description of this lovely berry colored lipstick. The satin finish by Mac is
one of my favorites because it means you get excellent pigmentation and longer
lasting color on your lips.
Mac Captive is definitely a bright shade and one which is
best suited for the fall and winters. It looks really bright on fairer people however,
on my dark pigmented lips, this shade appears as a light pinkish plum with the
pink being more dominant which I believe is really a good thing as most dark
berry colored lipsticks can make you look quite old. It is my favorite lipstick
that I can pair easily with bright eye makeup as well as with neutral looks. It
brightens up the face and makes you look quite fresh. Here are the swatches and
FOTD with Mac Captive.
The pigmentation is amazing. One swipe gives you bright
vibrant color. There is no dryness or flaking on my lips. The lipstick is
creamy and glides effortlessly on the lips. The color stays for around four to
five hours on my lips and it leaves behind a natural pink tint on the lips
which I completely adore. In short this is one of the must have Mac berry
lipsticks in your collection. Do check it out in store. I am sure you will fall
head over heels in love with this lovely lipstick
