Help a NC30 recreate this lip color!

[rhogiela]

Hi everyone!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lip color on Rachel McAdams (see attachment) and am dying to get it myself. I'm a NC30 Korean gal and love this color because it's sophisticated and chic without being tacky!

I know, I should go to a MAC counter, but I can't as I'm on location in some rural areas. (Thank goodness for the internet!)

I emailed a MAC Artist who recommended Lustering and Lickable...any thoughts? And do any of you knowledgable ladies have your own suggestions?!

I MUST get this look! Thanks so much!!

I would say lickable cremesheen.. i wore it today and it looks pretty close to that.

Both lickable and lustering are really close. Grab a lipliner too if you can, magenta is close.

whaaa-? Lickable doesn't look like that on me ever..even with Lip Erase! Its much more cooler and has subtle violet undertones..
maybe try mixing chatterbox with cranapple liner or a little bit of Lickable..

There is actually a page in InStyle magazine with that exact picture. Her makeup artist (sister) says "She first applied lip balm "to help the color go on sheer," then created the "perfect pink" by mixing a fuchsia shade with a soft rose. For a stainlike look, blot lips repeatedly with tissue"

Next to the picture it says to mix MAC Impassioned lipstick with NARS Roman Holiday lipstick. I don't know if that is what is actually used, or just a suggestion.

wow! thanks so much everyone! about to place an order now...

Just another suggestion in case your order doesn't quite work out for you, I'd do Beet lipliner with Lustering l/s...I'm an NC as well, and Impassioned tends to show a bit coral on me...I love GAT way more, but Lustering is more sheer...and now with ColourCraft, maybe Made With Love would work for you, too.

GL hun.
