I recently went to the MAC store to re-purchase Cosmo but noticed that MAC has added some new lipsticks to their permanent line. Mehr and Yash (review HERE ) were a part of Mickey Contractor’s limited edition collection. But now they have made these two lipsticks permanent and have added two new shades – Tabla and Double Shot. I personally feel you can find Tabla (chocolate brown) and Double shot (full bodied mocha cream) in your Indian brands as well. But you know, MAC is MAC. And if you are someone like me who loves just every makeup magic that Mickey Contractor does, you’d buy everything he would launch in the market. 😛
Anyhoo.
Mehr , according to MAC is a dirty blue pink matte finish lipstick . The shade is super close to Cosmo but the finish is different and it’s a tad bit pinker as compared to cosmo. i love cool toned lipsticks. I feel they add a little freshness to my face. Mehr , especially, is the kind of shade that would work on various Indian skin tones. It’s an everyday go-to color. You pair it up with smokey eyes or neutral eyes or a heavy blush. Or just wear it to work everyday. It works.
It stays on my lips for around 5 hours. It is a matte finish lipstick but the texture is really creamy and smooth. It does not dry out my lips but it definitely is not a hydrating lipstick. It does not accentuate the fine line of my lips. It does not flake or move or budge. It just makes your lips look nicer and adds a tad bit brightness to your face. 🙂 It would be a ‘my lips but better’ shade for a lot of girls.
Highly recommended, especially for those with light to medium skin tones. If you find it too pink, just mix it with a tad bit of soft brown shade. It looks great.
