MAC Fresh Brew Lipstick
Price : Rs 990
MAC describes Fresh brew as creamed coffee.
Fresh Brew is a lustre finish lipstick. The color is neutral tan brown. It is a great n*de shade for those with NC 43-45 skin tone. In fact, those with light skin tones and looking for a tan brown coloured lipstick should check this out. On my NC 35 skin tone, I feel it does nothing to my complexion. Very rarely if I am going for a particular kind of a makeup look (mostly smokey eyes or deep blush color, I would use Fresh Brew. But other than that I don’t find this color very flattering on myself.
It is a lustre finish lipstick so the finish and texture is excellent. It is a semi opaque lipstick. In fact it becomes completely opaque with 2-3 swipes of color without getting cakey. It goes on smoothly on lips and never settles in fine lines. The staying power is good 4 + hours and it fades evenly. It is a very hydrating lipstick and feels very light on lips.
It has a lovely vanilla fragrance but barely any taste.
Overall, I feel Fresh brew is a great lipstick but the color is quite tricky to work with. Either it would work for you or it would not. So choose wisely and definitely try it on your lips before purchasing.

I like the color, but you are so right Rati di; either it will work or not.
Love your eye make up 🙂

Wow! Pretty smokey eye. 🙂
Don’t like the lipstick, it makes you look ill :/

I like this color Rati!! Once in a while its ok to try these colours……
yeah i agree 🙂

Have u tried lustering. I love it.. Its a perfct version of GAT or impassioned for the day!
not tried yet. guess would try it. 🙂 thanks. 🙂
Its bcome my new go to lippie on rushed mornings when im running late fir work and no time to even swipe on some liner! Looks nice
my heart skipped a beat wow
u know some days i totally dig this look
and this is similar to some nyx round lippies na
this is the rani mukerjee look which u did a better version of 😀
Me scared to try such colors…makes me look like a Zombie!
But really nice to see you, bahana chaiye bas! 😀
such shades are my fav Rati!!!! awesome for a nude look with dark smokey eyes 😀
wouldnt suit me AT ALL!
like everyone here i too liked ur smokey eyes, and i think lip color suit nai kar raha hai apko..
the lipcolor is so dull Rati… i think it won’t even suit dusky girls like me… 😐
I agree with you Rati! It will only go with very heavy eye makeup – but for that I think Jubilee is a better n*de. Your eye makeup is looking pretty though 🙂
Such lovely smokey eyes Rati! I can never do a smokey eye acche se. I look like a raccoon :'(
I have fresh brew though. The one and only lippie i have from mac… Lene mein thoda sa gadbad ho gaya tha. Thought it was looking good at the store, but now i find it a bit dull n washed out on me. Nevertheless, not giving up, i mix it with a pinkish brown lipstick sometimes. (When i dont want an obvious pink). Works out fine then. 🙂
Such lovely smokey eyes Rati! I end up looking like a raccoon whenever i try it 🙁
Anyway, the only lippie i have from mac is fresh brew. At the time of buying it looked like a nice colour. But it washes me out, when i tried it at home. Nevertheless, not giving up, i mix it with a pinkish lippie to get a good shade of nudish pink brown. Quite wearable that way. Yaay!
And i typed in the same thing twice :'( gosh!
juz loved the coffee color… n rati, ur hair it luks absolutely gorgeous
As you said this color is not flattering, i think better n*de colors are available than this.. this is toooo brown..
Loved your makeup Rati..but me won’t go for this lippi….
loved ur smoky eye:-) and lipstick looks good on you not on dark people…!
Not for me too…
Ratiii… me like it on u 🙂 u look prettyy as always here :*
n i like the name of this libishtick tooo 😀 😀 ^_^
Nupurizzzzzzzzzz……you are the backsssssssssssssss….yey…!!!
I was looking at your hair more than the lipcolour ,….it looks really healthy and glossy …..you use the L’occitane repairing mask ryt ?
Love your eyes:))…lippie way too brown for me
It’s so different from the usual pinks, corals & reds…..it looks nice I think.
the lippie would hav worked if it had atleast a tiny bit of peachiness to it…..brown is so blah n its always a miss for me…..so are maroons-they make me look older-now im wishin i could stay in my 20’s forever :-)…..loved your smokey eye-do try variations in other colors too-im sooo into doin smokey eyes with my pigments these days….they’re oh so simple n fun…..
I think I like this lippie …not for everyone but I guess…it’s different from all the pinks and peaches and corals and can b used once in a while. I would pair it with plain black shirt, some light washed jeans and lots of black eye liner…would look great I guess 🙂
