Rebecca Best I have Mocha but it pulls more yellow on me. Now Spirit is more pinky brown on me. Do u own Spirit? I think it would look pretty with your skintone.
Kat Hamilton no I didn't even know about it, i prefer warmer shades, every time I wear mocha I get so many compliments!! Thanks for the suggestion tho I'll def check it out!
Try the shade Retro. It's a Satin Finish. I don't mean Retro matte but the colour called "Retro". It's a stunning shade of terracotta reddish brown. I like it a lot, especially for warmer or more tan skin tones. If you don't want to buy it, maybe swatch it and take a photo because I think it's an underrated shade and many women with tan or olive complexions would benefit from knowing about that shade.
I like Spirit, Mocha, Paramount, Verve,... but they're all quite brown and I'm not sure how they would look on your skin. Some you might like could be: Fleshpot is like a pink version of Myth, Cherish is a peach version of Velvet Teddy, Pink Nouveau is like WnW Dollhouse Pink and Media is bit more berry than Diva.
This is my favorite MAC finish. I am allergic to lanolin so it's also one of the only MAC finishes I can wear. I have had both Amorous and Captive. My skin is about as light/dark as yours but I am very yellow based. And Amorous looks better on me. Just in case anyone was debating the two....maybe this will help? xoxo
Also, I wore Twig on my Wedding day. Probably should have reapplied at least once during the night, but I didn't and it still looked great in photos even at the end. 10/10 would recommend for a lip color that photographs well and holds up/doesn't fade funky
My favorite MAC satin finish lipstick is Media. It's a beautiful fall shade and a much more wearable version of MAC's matte lipstick Sin (I find MAC matte lipsticks sooo dry but I love their satin lipsticks because they're so comfortable).
I have Faux and Rebel from this batch 😊. And you are right, Rebel is super versatile and one can change the shade of it by using different liners. I love wearing it in the autumn with Mac's Vino 😍
Love Mocha & love the Satin formula in MAC. This series is so helpful. MAC is excellent for price & quality not to mention selection. I've bought several because of your previous lip swatch videos and I find your swatches VERY HELPFUL!!!! I am very much looking forward to seeing the big updated swatches you are working on. I'm fond of MAC overall for the quality & selection. Thanks Emily.
I recently swatched captive, twig, mehr, amorous and faux because I really want to get one of these for fall but I cannot decide which one 😣 I love such colors..
EndlessLifeOfSummer I prefer amorous. Mehr is a good nude better then the popular faux, twin, teddy,... . But amorous is a cute colour, one of my favorites
I just got Retro and it's been confusing me since I got it! It looks brown-red when I swatched, but has the tendency to become a plum-ish tint when on my lips? I was looking for a more brownish reddish pinkish vibe (':
GREAT VID!!! Brave, Faux & Twig will always be in my collection! They are just so perfect! I love MAC's satin lipsticks, so comfortable & long-wearing on the lips 💕
satin and matte/retro matte finishes are my favourite! i have captive and brave ( i bought it because of you ) and i love them! these two and mehr (matte) are my top favourites for everyday!
I really wanted you to test out Captive. I've been thinking about adding it to my collection. I can wear NW35 to NC40 in Mac depending on whether I'm tanning. Brave and Whirl are always in my purse. Do you think Captive will suit my skintone? I also have Amorous and Rebel. Mocha is another fav. Thanks Emily. Rebel is stunning on you.
Coucou Emilie, j'ai le "Rebel" et je le porte souvent en automne/hiver. De toute façon, j'adore les teintes prunes. Mais j'ai beaucoup aimé aussi les swatchs que tu as fais de "Brave", "Captive", et "Amourous". Ce sont des couleurs moins prononcé que le "Rebel", mais tellement jolies et portables au quotidien. 😊 Gros bisous ma belle. 😘😘😘😘😘
oh man. i want velvet teddy but i also want brave and/or amorous. your video is making it HARD for me. I'm sending a back to mac in the mail soon but holding off because i'm having second thoughts lol
I love Mac Satin finish for the reason that they don`t look or feel as drying as matte lipsticks. I love Brave, but I recommend you getting Spirit, its like Velvet Teddy but not as brown.
Question; I really like the colour velvet teddy, but the formula is too dry for my lips. Which mac shade in a satin finish formula will come closest to velvet teddy? Thank you in advance xxx
Oh yes I need some of these shades as well, my fav Satin Mac is Faux, just about to need a new one and it will be my first MAC lipstick I finished lol.
Brave looks more of brown on me than pink😢 like velvet teddy on you. Please suggest real light pure pink shade to use as mlbb ... 🙂 my lips are very light pink..
Brave looks brown on me too. I have cool tone fair skin but my lips aren't very pigmented. Maybe it's because of it. Mehr looks pinkier on me, but it's a matte finish (comfortable one in my opinion).
Rebel was my first Mac lipstick and it was the one I was almost praying to, because I dreamed about it and I couldn't afford it. I have it now and I adore it! but it does not last that long on me, can you recommend some liquid lipstick as a dupe? It can be the same price or even higher, I would love to have the same color but in liquid and matt
I love twig. I would like to see you try cherish, spirit, peachstock, fleshpot; basically any of the nudes. Can't wait for the final video. This has been a fantastic series!
I've been looking for it for the past few days.. did i miss it? Or she hasn't done it yet? I just remembered she said sept. but i browsed through her videos, it wasn't there. Not that i'm pressuring her. 😶
Nice and informative vid. I personally don't like the finish. Id's rather want something more dry or much less dry. I am planning on trying their less matte finishes.
Twig was my first MAC lipstick and is still one of my favorites (Brave as well)! Looking at your swatch I think I have to add Amorous to my collection :)
With Myth, what I like to do if you want to try a cool greige colour is to put Stone lip liner all over my lips, then put Myth on top 😃 Also, the colour Viva Glam II is a beautiful nude in the satin finish range, so I would suggest getting that one for the lip swatch video! Aussi, ça serait super si tu faisais d'autres vidéos en français ❤️
I remember going into my mom's makeup bag when I was 6! 😂 I remember getting Rebel out and putting it on my lips. The next day I went to school and all the girls from my class asked if my lips were bleeding 😂
I loved this!! I was swatching some peachy pinks the other day and thought "yes, they're similar! BUT DIFFERENT!" 😂 It's so true!! Keep rocking these swatch videos!
Brave was my second lipstick from mac and recently i also bought faux - both are perfection! :) velvet teddy does not suit me at all (unfortunately) :D
Of the ones you have, I have Rebel, Twig and Amorous. Then I also have Media, Viva Glam II, Hollywood Cerise(le), Retro, Si Si Me(le), Verve and Paramount (most recent buy). Of these Amorous and Retro are my favorite! So I think you should definitely try Retro! And thanks for comparing Captive with Amorous. Now I know I don't need that one haha! (I have a picture of mines on mijn instagram: djil_beautystuff )
I'm very fair (N10) neutral leaning cool and Captive on me is not a nude , it's definitely a wearable plum. I love it but it's interesting how lipsticks change according to skin tones!
You have to check out the shade Mocha!! Omg!! It looks so beautiful on its like a brown but pink kinda shade.
Rebecca Best I have Mocha but it pulls more yellow on me. Now Spirit is more pinky brown on me. Do u own Spirit? I think it would look pretty with your skintone.
Rebecca Best yeah totally a fall shade, love it. But it is best for warm skin :)
Kat Hamilton no I didn't even know about it, i prefer warmer shades, every time I wear mocha I get so many compliments!! Thanks for the suggestion tho I'll def check it out!
Try the shade Retro. It's a Satin Finish. I don't mean Retro matte but the colour called "Retro".

Arya Dröttningu right, retro is a gorgeous color, in my skin tone is like the perfect nude and very comfortable to wear. I really love it
Retro is everything ! My favorite satin mac lipstick!
I wore Faux as a bridesmaid. Did my makeup at 10am, touched up once before pictures at like 3, and got home at 2am. It was still on.
I like Spirit, Mocha, Paramount, Verve,... but they're all quite brown and I'm not sure how they would look on your skin. Some you might like could be: Fleshpot is like a pink version of Myth, Cherish is a peach version of Velvet Teddy, Pink Nouveau is like WnW Dollhouse Pink and Media is bit more berry than Diva.

Rebel! My holy grail, she never leaves my bag. Loved this series! 😻
Also, I wore Twig on my Wedding day. Probably should have reapplied at least once during the night, but I didn't and it still looked great in photos even at the end. 10/10 would recommend for a lip color that photographs well and holds up/doesn't fade funky

pls do a simple get ready with me! you haven't done one in so long & your makeup looks gorgeous!!
Bought the one in Brave because of you! And I love it 😍
InaM same 😊💜
Same! :)
InaM I want it now too!!
I love Retro a lot !
It is such a buildable color and perfect shade for fall/winter !!
I love rebel! And the wet n wild dupe, sugarplum fairy! :)
Jessica Hacker thank you!! I'll try it!! I love this color / rebel!! I appreciate the tip!!
I love the shade (sugarplum fairy) swatched, but it looks so pink on me. How did you find it?
I recently swatched captive, twig, mehr, amorous and faux because I really want to get one of these for fall but I cannot decide which one 😣 I love such colors..
EndlessLifeOfSummer I prefer amorous. Mehr is a good nude better then the popular faux, twin, teddy,... . But amorous is a cute colour, one of my favorites
Mehr
you need to check out the color Retro, that is my favorite fall color😍
Elisabeth Høisæther Seconding Retro, on me it is a brown reddish/pink. But maybe it is too brown for Emily?
I just got Retro and it's been confusing me since I got it! It looks brown-red when I swatched, but has the tendency to become a plum-ish tint when on my lips? I was looking for a more brownish reddish pinkish vibe (':
Love you Em :* you are the queen of lip swatches !:x
Rebel looks gorgeous on you! Love MAC products, especially the lipsticks.
i got Rebel with back to mac. now i collect anothers 6 products and im getting Faux because im cool tone. i hope it looks good on me.
GREAT VID!!! Brave, Faux & Twig will always be in my collection! They are just so perfect! I love MAC's satin lipsticks, so comfortable & long-wearing on the lips 💕
As far as I can tell, there isn't a lipstick color you can't pull off :)
Paramount is one of my all time favorites! The best 90's brown :)
Hey Emily! I own Twig, Captive and Pink Nouveau and have Brave and Faux on my wishlist because of you recommending them so often.
Sharmistha Banerjee I think Amorous is better then captive. It is sooo cute
Sara Faria I think Amorous would be a bit dark for me as a nude. Thanks for your reply though, will surely check it out in the store.
Definitely try Mac Satin Lipstick in the shade "Retro." It is a deeper red shade with a hint of brown. Really pretty!
I like Frost NY Apple. I'm ordering Faux and Brave. Thank you.
satin and matte/retro matte finishes are my favourite! i have captive and brave ( i bought it because of you ) and i love them! these two and mehr (matte) are my top favourites for everyday!
Your brilliant such a hard working UA-camr 👍🏼 xx
Okay now I HAVE TO buy Rebel! thank you for the entire series, can't wait for the lip swatch video! XOXO from Israel.
Shirley Swissa you have to! Everything she said is true! If you have dry lips it will be dry but it is not uncomfortable. It is great
Rebel with the Nightingale liner under it is 😍😍 try that combination!
get the shade 'retro' it is absolutely stunning! :D
Please get Mocha! I would love seeing it on you before making a decision for myself. I have a very pink/cool undertone
You have to check out the shade spirit! It's very similar to velvet teddy in my opinion
I really wanted you to test out Captive. I've been thinking about adding it to my collection. I can wear NW35 to NC40 in Mac depending on whether I'm tanning.
Brave and Whirl are always in my purse. Do you think Captive will suit my skintone? I also have Amorous and Rebel. Mocha is another fav. Thanks Emily. Rebel is stunning on you.
I need to get brave ❤️ I feel like I have a TF lipstick 💄 that looks very similar to rebell
Try Viva Glam II, it is gorgeous!
Coucou Emilie, j'ai le "Rebel" et je le porte souvent en automne/hiver. De toute façon, j'adore les teintes prunes. Mais j'ai beaucoup aimé aussi les swatchs que tu as fais de "Brave", "Captive", et "Amourous". Ce sont des couleurs moins prononcé que le "Rebel", mais tellement jolies et portables au quotidien. 😊
Gros bisous ma belle. 😘😘😘😘😘
I got retro, it's a warm nude brown, great for deeper skin tones
Try the shade Mocha 😊 It's such a beautiful nude lipstick!
oh man. i want velvet teddy but i also want brave and/or amorous. your video is making it HARD for me. I'm sending a back to mac in the mail soon but holding off because i'm having second thoughts lol
Oh yes! Rebel is your color and Faux is mine 💜💕
Del Rio is my favourite MAC lipstick! You need to try it!
That giggle between Brave and Faux 😍😍😍
I love Mac Satin finish for the reason that they don`t look or feel as drying as matte lipsticks. I love Brave, but I recommend you getting Spirit, its like Velvet Teddy but not as brown.
I'm writing these shades down so when I get the time, I'll go get some!
MAC Red was my first MAC lipstick. I'm in love with it.
Verve is a GREAT autumn colour!
Question; I really like the colour velvet teddy, but the formula is too dry for my lips. Which mac shade in a satin finish formula will come closest to velvet teddy? Thank you in advance xxx
Oh yes I need some of these shades as well, my fav Satin Mac is Faux, just about to need a new one and it will be my first MAC lipstick I finished lol.

Brave looks brown on me too. I have cool tone fair skin but my lips aren't very pigmented. Maybe it's because of it. Mehr looks pinkier on me, but it's a matte finish (comfortable one in my opinion).
I vote for Retro
Juliana C OH!! really? I thought to buy Mehr first but then thought it would be bit dark pink.. I am looking for true light pink shade..
You need to try retro! How come the colours that flatter the most skintones are the less known?
I hva to get Amorous, it has been on my wishlist for so long now! You definetlyhave to try media and dubonnet, perfect fall shades!
Emily, hope you can do a review on the YSL Beauty All Hours Foundation
Can you compare all the reds in Mac
Rebel was my first Mac lipstick and it was the one I was almost praying to, because I dreamed about it and I couldn't afford it. I have it now and I adore it! but it does not last that long on me, can you recommend some liquid lipstick as a dupe? It can be the same price or even higher, I would love to have the same color but in liquid and matt
I’m confused between brave & faux. Please suggest?
Em u look gorgeous!! And btw your lashes look bomb!! what mascara are you wearing?? love u!!!
I love twig. I would like to see you try cherish, spirit, peachstock, fleshpot; basically any of the nudes. Can't wait for the final video. This has been a fantastic series!
Hi Emily,
Try Besame's Portrait Pink. Really lovely!
Where is the big MAC swatch video?
I've been looking for it for the past few days.. did i miss it? Or she hasn't done it yet? I just remembered she said sept. but i browsed through her videos, it wasn't there. Not that i'm pressuring her. 😶
Nice and informative vid. I personally don't like the finish. Id's rather want something more dry or much less dry. I am planning on trying their less matte finishes.
I love Rebel but the Satin finish gets on my teeth too much. What would be similar but with a matte finish or drier formula?
I recommend Mocha or Retro! :)
You should check out mocha or cherish I love them so much !
Twig was my first MAC lipstick and is still one of my favorites (Brave as well)! Looking at your swatch I think I have to add Amorous to my collection :)
Suggestion: add subtitles with names and numbers of the swatched lipsticks. Thanks
you need to check out the color chili, that is my favorite.
I love the viva glam 2 😍😍😍😍
I would love to see someone trying New York Apple!
Brace is my favourite too along with fanfare
PLEASE buy the shade Spirit!
With Myth, what I like to do if you want to try a cool greige colour is to put Stone lip liner all over my lips, then put Myth on top 😃 Also, the colour Viva Glam II is a beautiful nude in the satin finish range, so I would suggest getting that one for the lip swatch video! Aussi, ça serait super si tu faisais d'autres vidéos en français ❤️
I remember going into my mom's makeup bag when I was 6! 😂 I remember getting Rebel out and putting it on my lips. The next day I went to school and all the girls from my class asked if my lips were bleeding 😂
Can u plz do a swatch video for MAC lip glass
I lost my first lipstick and I don’t remember the name and I’m desperate looking which one it is
I loved this!! I was swatching some peachy pinks the other day and thought "yes, they're similar! BUT DIFFERENT!" 😂 It's so true!! Keep rocking these swatch videos!
instablaster
i have been guessing the right lipsticks the ones which you decide to wear throughout the dat
I'd love to see how Verve compares
twig is my favourite shade ever
Brave was my second lipstick from mac and recently i also bought faux - both are perfection! :) velvet teddy does not suit me at all (unfortunately) :D
I just might have to buy foe its so pretty
Faux
Girl I'm in Toronto visiting some family. Love your videos x
What about the MAC liquid lipsticks?? :00
Love your personality❤️
Your eyebrows look really good in this video! :)
(Not that they never look good...LOL! But they look really, really nice in this one.)
Have you done your fav mac lipstick from every colour family?
Please try MOCHA💞
Emily, are you Canadian?
420SJA yeah, she is.
Verve mac❤️
I hope you swatch the lipsticks on your lips to see them better
Mac Satin Retro is the best shade!
Thank u Emily, because of you I finally found my color!!!!!💋
Please try chili.
Brace is my holy grail 👏
Of the ones you have, I have Rebel, Twig and Amorous. Then I also have Media, Viva Glam II, Hollywood Cerise(le), Retro, Si Si Me(le), Verve and Paramount (most recent buy). Of these Amorous and Retro are my favorite! So I think you should definitely try Retro!
And thanks for comparing Captive with Amorous. Now I know I don't need that one haha!
(I have a picture of mines on mijn instagram: djil_beautystuff )
Ok I just bought Rebel thanks to you! 😂
I'm very fair (N10) neutral leaning cool and Captive on me is not a nude , it's definitely a wearable plum. I love it but it's interesting how lipsticks change according to skin tones!
Cri.carrot 3 it is the some with me... But it is lovely amyway
Cri.carrot 3 oh great!! I'll have to try it then!!
My fav finish!!!
Mac Faux ❤️ i also have that 😍
Nice reiew
