Cyndi definitely looks better on NC35. Gaga is alright, but it just looks too in your face for everyday wear. Especially the pinkiness of it can look a bit strange against Asian skintones.

Both. When it came out I purchased Cyndi and didn't even try Gaga, because I thought it would look odd on me. I ended up buying Gaga online last week and it arrived two days ago. I love it and only regret I didn't buy it sooner!

It looks weird if I put too much though.

Still have to figure out which colour of Studio Fix Powder I should get so I can give a better reference of my skin colour... I have a Face and Body foundation in C3 and Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC35, but sometimes I think the F&B looks a bit dark to me, and the powder is definitely too dark right now (but in the summer it will look great I believe). NC30 perhaps?

EDIT: I went to the MAC store today and I am NC30 on Studio Fix Powder right now.

I tried on both and unfortunately neither flattered me and had to pass.

It looked HAWT!! The combination reminds me of lavender whip. I'm NC45-50 for reference.

yep! you gotta try a darker lip pencil (Nightmoth) and i tried Pinkarat l/g with it. it worked very well! try it this way and it won't give you that Tyrone Biggum's Mouth! lol! NC45-NC50 for ref.

Cyndi is stunning, very wearable 'red' for me and my NC40 skin. Gaga made me look like an idiot!

 

[kittykit]

I'm a NC35 and have very pigmented lips. When I first saw Gaga, I thought there's no way I was going to wear that colour. My MA convinced me to try it because she thought it would look good on me. So I tried it on and it doesn't look bad at all on me! It's my most favourite lippie at the moment

I like to wear it with Petite Indulgence Cremesheen Glass.

Cyndi has my vote

I think Cyndi would be more wearable for me.

I'm willing to try GaGa, but I already have the Viva Glam (Fergie) l/s...and that's about as cool pink as I want to go. Kuddos to those who can make it work.

I bought Cyndi today and I love it! I think it looks best paired with a red/dark red liner like Mahogany or Burgundy, and then topped with clear gloss. I got so many complements on it.

I like them both..I just have to put in a litte more effort with GaGa...I'm NW45

 

[Ingenue]

I have both, but prefer Cyndi. Gaga takes some effort with a good liner and gloss to tone down the 'ash' factor.

I bought Gaga. I love it. I have a pic on my blog with to the beach - splashing lg. I used Cork Liner. I am NC43/45 for reference

Wow, that looks gorgeous!

I'm going to have to try it with a darker liner... thanks for the instruction!

 

[Fiberluver]

I purchased VG Gaga last week and it's beautiful. I tried it with Plum l/l and no gloss and promptly purchased it!

I am going to top it with some of the glosses I own but I really like this shade on its own.

I also want to try it with Chestnut or Cork liner for a brown effect.

I didn't like Cyndi on me at all. It was too drab, blah looking.

I am a C7/NC45/NC50 for reference.

Personally, I don't mind using different liners and glosses to jazz up a lipstick. To me, that's part of the fun of makeup.

I have both Gaga and Cyndi. Cyndi I can use right out of the tube. No liner no gloss. It's very very wearable for me. I'm MUFE 175 for reference. Now Gaga I picked up "just because". I've only recently found a combo to make this work for me. I use a light hand applying it. Vino l/l and a touch of Melt In Your Mouth Cremesheen glass makes this work for me.
