Here's me with Heaux 2.0. Pretty color, I can see myself using this a lot for work. I did order 2 tubes incase ;)  Its definitely a creamsheen not amplified. I am wearing just simple makeup today. I am NC35ish (maybe even NC40?) I'm wearing Nars Sheer Glow in Barcelona (medium 4)  for reference.
Heaux looks beautiful on you.

Heaux with FB ll Like the first time, i dont like it. For red/berries or dark colors I prefer mattes/retromattes o Satin.

I know you are not a big fan of Heaux but it is beautiful on you.

So I know I haven't been keeping up on the conversation, but I did some comparison swatches of my "types" of MAC lipsticks, and I know mac is saying the new Heaux is a cremesheen even though it's labeled amplified, but... according to my swatches it's amplified. I don't have a berry cremesheen to compare it to, so I used flowerscope and star magnolia, but it has IDENTICAL feel, finish, and pigmentation level to Diva-ish. Even my amplifieds that don't look that shiny in the tube have similar luster in swatches. And it's not congealed or sheer like my cremesheens. So however the wind ends up blowing I'm going to personally "believe in" my Heaux 2.0 as an amplified and love it as such :)

I think a collection with a Heaux in every finish would be cool. I don't know why MAC can't get the finish straight. Amplified boxes and labels.... it seems more likely that the website is wrong. It's not like the site has never been incorrect.

Just noticed that Heaux is now listed as an amplified on the MAC website.
Interesting. I don't have a lot of experience with the different formulas, but the one Amplified I have seems to rub off really easily compared to my Cremesheen. Heaux definitely seemed to get all over my face during dinner. I am such a messy eater I have to try these things out at home...

I posted in another thread couple of years ago how cremesheens are really drying and have that weird tingling on me. Like it sucks out my lips dry and wrinkles it a bit. This Heaux doesnt do that. It's more consistent in feel and look to amps in my stash. I'm inclined to believe it's an amplified as well.
