MAC MOCHA Lipstick : Review and FOTD

mac lipstick for indian skin

I recently did BACK TO MAC and picked MAC MOCHA Lipstick which was especially recommended to me by my friend SHIVANI from AOYV. MOCHA is much raved lip colour from MAC’s Permanent’s line and is from SATIN FINISH .

MOCHA is described as Peachy Yellow Brown, it is universally flattering peachy brown n**e shade for my NC 40 skin tone and sits pretty on my lips for 4 – 5 hrs. It is from SATIN finish and is one of my favourite in terms of pigmentation and staying power. There is slightly glossy sheen to it but not slippery feel. As it is from permanent line I recommend you to try this in store before buying and see how the shade turns with and without good makeup base. Although , half of the time it is out of stock as it is fastest moving shade in India .

When I was reading MUA , I noticed that this colour is hit amongst NC 40 and above skin tone , I regret not buying it earlier and can’t thank my stars that I have a shade which is easy to carry off and doesn’t make me look pale and drained .

On scale of 1 – 10, I would give this 9: the colour may not be flattering on every skin tone but for NC 40 and above it would be great warm n**e shade.

I agree that MAC reviews are hit amongst readers and hence will try to do those more often, MACness as you say!

I hope you find the review helpful ? Do share if you share the same love for this color ?

In the news : I swatched MAC TEMPRATURE RISING Collection this weekend , although that time I didn’t quiet liked anything but now I want Feel my Pulse lipstick and will call my MAC to keep one aside for me . Rest of the shades were not that great but I loved BLUSEHS … GOD, they were HEAVEN, absolute delight.

And, INGLOT is opened (re – opened) in BANGALROE PHOENIX MALL, WHITE FIELD this Friday.

    • rashmi says:

      its not launched here dear 😀 😀 I asked them and he knows me , so I was able to swatch and see 😀 😀
      I think it is more or less 1500 for blush 😀
      buy YSL na for 2100/- 😀 😀
      sorryyyyy just my opinion 😀

      • Jigisha says:

        Technically im waiting for chanel cream blushes. So till then i thought ill sataite my makeup appetite wth mac temprtre rising after reading temptalia review. Also want the gold strobe liquid. The original strobe not good for my dark skin. Ysl blushes ha?? Never went in that zone. Im v new to blushes . Only have mac, nars taj mahal and one estee ..

        • rashmi says:

          ohh then I highlyyyyyyyy recommend you to try MAC pro blushes 😀 😀 I am sure you can spend good amount but if you haven’t indulged in blushes :d
          go for MAC PRO refill – 1150/- INR plus shadessssss are meant for us 😀
          buy INGLOT square refill for 480/- to keep those blushes 😀 😀
          I also want to try CHANEL blush 😀 :d the new ones ….

          • Jigisha says:

            But now u just mentioned ysl.u think ill b able to sleep?? Pro blushes i want. Saw ur larest post on the same n will buy the mac one..also wanted guerlain nuitd ete but its out of stock everywhre..

          • rashmi says:

            haha yeahhh I know 😀 even am restless for YSL shade # 6 .. it is sooooo damn gorgeous dear 😀
            I mentioned pro as you said there are not enough in your collection so it makes sense to pick PRO na , you have it in your city that’s why am saying 😀 😀
            I didn’t like GUERLAIN pigmentation .. would prefer YSL over that 😀
            and once again I mention .. if you want MAC blush then in anyyyy case go for PRO 😀 now I am not digging permanent line :( :(

    Mocha looks great on u! Will try it next time I go to mac. Thanks for informing about Inglot store in Phoenix mall. Will visit for sure this week :)

  6. Jigisha says:

    I only have 2 mac blushes. Breezy and sunbasque. Will take pro only now. Wch ysl blushe for nc 45?? I have pigmentation so need a v strong colour and sheen..

  7. Meera says:

    This may be a universally flattering shade, but Mocha looks terrible on me. It drains the color right off, and looks vaguely orange-brown on my nc 45 skin. I know many women rave about this, but I will have to pass:((
