Okay, this is a little different, I saw a girl wearing this beautiful, incredibly intense matte lipstick. I thought it might be Heaux, but when I got home and swatched Heaux, I knew it wasn't, it had more purple than Heaux, but more red than any magenta. It looks something like the color swatches I added as images. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I can't get it out of my head! I need it! I SHOULD have asked her!!!!

On this board (credit http://logopeopledesign.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/6-tips-to-follow-for-print-and-web-safe-logo/pantone-color-swatches/) it's somewhere between 7421 and 505, but closer to 7421. It was NOT bright, just REALLY intense, with perfect coverage and even color. Her skin was light like mine (NW13), maybe even lighter and cooler-toned, if possible. It wasn't light like Full Fuchsia. It was more purple than any red I own and more red than any purple I own, but I can't find any "berry" that looks like it. If anyone can think of what it might be, that would be amazing. It had no shine or pearl whatsoever, just pure depth. With perfect, crisp, dark lines, but somehow not looking vampy at ALL.

Just looking at those two I keep thinking of Rebel as well, except the finish is wrong as Rebel is Satin. I wish I could be of more help and I hope you're able to find out what it was.

Like some of the ladies said Rebel, but it probably had a liner with it aswell.
I can do a comparison of Rebel and Heaux if you'd like? I've got both

Was it Rebel? Rebel looks a little bit like Heaux but cooler toned and a touch more vivid. But it is a satin, so not completely matte. Wish I could help. I bet if the originator of this thread were still on here then she could help you identify it.

Thanks for the advice!!! That's two votes for Rebel, maybe I just haven't worn Rebel in so long I mis-identified it? It looked so matte though... is there a way to matte-ify a lipstick? Like the opposite of a lipgloss??? I matte-ify my theatrical makeup with baby powder, but it lightens the color.

That would be great! I have both but I can't be 100% sure my Heaux is real since I didn't buy it through mac... I almost don't want to know if it's a fake though :(

Yes a lip liner will do that. Especially a nude color lip liner or a clear one.

Maybe a translucent setting powder? I saw a tutorial where a girl put a tissue over the lippy and patted the powder on after doing that.

I sometimes do this. It works well. Sometimes I just go crazy and powder straight over the lipstick without the tissue haha.

Every time I see Rebel I give a little sigh, it's so pretty. I also pick it up and swatch it EVERY time I'm at a counter, flip it over to see what it is and go DOH!

I do this all the time.. always end up staring at the same lipsticks that I already own.

I also associated that color on the chart with rebel or rebel mixed with a slightly more red leaning liner and mattified. Well maybe it's not a MAC color at all but I'm sure Rebel could give you that look.
