Mac Pink Pigeon Lipstick On Dark Skin

  1. MAC Girl About Town. This one is from the pink shade and is a bright blue toned pink shade with cool undertones! Despite being a shade with such cool undertones it really looks beautiful on the olive skin tones/ those who are NC 36 in MAC! MAC Party Pigeon. Mac pink pigeon swatch.

Colour: A really cool-toned neon pink with blue undertones, this is like a lighter, brighter, and louder version of Pink Pigeon. For this reason, this looks great on Indian skin when you layer.

Just like Candy Yum Yum, Pink Pigeon is too drying & patchy to be a $16 lipstick. I have WNW l/s that applies better. However I loved the color of Mac PP so went on the hunt for a quality dupe. Mac Matte Lipstick in Pink Pigeon: This is a very bright pink with a cool tones in it. This is the brightest pink shade among all. I wanted a bright pink shade very badly so I experimented between Mac Candy Yum Yum and this. I was not brave enough to flaunt the neon Candy Yum Yum and settled for this one instead.

You know what’s funny—like not even six months ago I wasn’t into pinks so much but I SURE did put a lot of pinks into this series…lol. More than even what has come to be known as my signature–red! I had some overflow from the pinks and had to create a category to put the shades that are kinda coral-y and those that are plummy but not vampy so you’ve got this ;)

In case you’re coming to this series for the first time, you totally want to check out Part 1: The Nudes, Part 2: The Pinks, and Part 3: The Reds. I also want to remind you again, I did all of these in one sitting so if you look close and my lips look like they might have been on fire, it’s because they were…lol. But I committed to this and pushed through wiping off and putting on 50 shades of lipstick back to back because like Jay-Z once uttered in rhyme “I do this for my culture.” :D

If you love what I’ve done here, please feel free to share via Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook—put please make sure you tag me and link to this post. Also please don’t take these pics and my words and use them on your blog posts—don’t do me like that…lol. I’ve already had an incident like that happen (like Antoine Dobson said “We will find you!” lol) and it doesn’t feel pretty which is why I have the “watermark” that looks like it came from the Mr. T collection all up and through these pics. It takes away from the beauty of Nas of Nasilele Photography‘s beautiful work of photographing me (hit her up if you need wedding, anniversary, family portraits, head shots, or if you’re like me and want to have great photos of yourself while all your limbs still work) but the internet is kinda like NYC in the late 70s and 80s :x

Also how cute is this canvas I ordered from Nas of a photo she took of me earlier this year? I seriously need to re-do my whole entire home life and have a wall dedicated to photos of me—you know, to counter all the bad ones of me out there…lol.

Anyway, let’s get into this!
