MAC describes Modesty as muted neutral pink. It is a creemsheen finish lipstick.
Price:
INR 1650
Modesty is a muted neutral brown-pink lip color. It would be a My Lips But Better shade for a lot of light to medium skin tones. The texture and finish are creamy. It goes on smoothly and stays for good 4 hours on me. It pretty much survives the full meals. It is very on-the-go every day kind of lipstick. Excellent for office wear, especially. I feel that it goes best when paired with kohled eyes and a bit of color on cheeks than on its own. What I like about Modesty the most is that although it is a neutral shade, it does not tend to wash out color from the face. It’s soft and adds definition to the lips. I don’t find it drying at all. Modesty is actually a muted version of Twig so depending on your skintone, you can pick either of the two MLBB shade for yourself. It looks pretty close to Offshoot as well. It is a medium to full coverage lipstick so even if you have pigmented lips, you don’t have to worry about the coverage. It does not contain any shimmers.
I personally quite like it and would recommend it to those with light to medium skin tones, especially.

Great shade 🙂 you are looking v pretty 🙂
Thanks shanaiia. 🙂

shanaiia, it’s fleur power + margin. Margin towards the temples coming inwards and fleur power more towards the apples of the cheeks.

do you know from where i can see all in their website… O:)
it is there on maccosmetics.com gayathri. But mac does not selle its products online here in India. 🙂
the shade is going so well with the blush n your complexion :happydance: :rose:
thankoo neha 😀
As usual u look verry verry verry pretty… 🙂 nice shade.. i will also buy a lipstick asap..!!!! even i’m liking the lipsticks now a days.. 🙂 :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
hihihihih i always like lipsticks 😀 😀
hey ya Rati..u look very cute..i have twig….this also looks pretty :yahoo: ..am controllin myself not to buy anymore from MAC..I have 6 lippies now..but ur clearance sale post has tempted me again :waaa:
hihihih bt you have twig na parita… this actually is quite nice. 😀 😀
Parita nahi Preetha.. :devil: :devil: :devil:
ohh!! sorryyy!! I must go grab a cup of tea now. :headbang:
nice shade, very apt for office wear as you mentioned 🙂
you look pretty 🙂 but i feel you look tired as well, may be i am wrong :stars: :stars: :stars:
yeah I am quite tired today shami and before taking this pic I clicked some 200 odd pics for the upcoming reviews so my eyes got all the more tired.
It’s a very nice color for office. :))
Oh, relax yourself in between rati, take care :puchhi: :puchhi:
Thank you. *hugs* 🙂
this probably will wash me out..cosmo is for me 🙂
you bought cosmo? 🙂
Pari..do u have cosmo?..it kinda washed me out..so i got twig..
So pretty u looking.. Bt whr is the LOTD!!!?????? :waaa:
waiting waiting waiting :waiting:
Pia no LOTD today… would do it tomorrow. 🙂
Rati.. :teddy: :teddy:
you clipped your hair one side na… u look pretty pretty…. :teddy: :teddy:
thank you dipti 🙂
It looks like brown-less my mahogany, doesn’t it ?!?!
you can say that they are close… my mahogany looks more peachy to me though.
This shade looks very nice on you!! :teddy:
thank you. 🙂
it looks very similar to airy fairy (rimmel london) except of the golden sheen which is present in airy fairy… :))
oops forgot t introduce myself…….hiii guys i am aaisha i love makeupandbeauty indian blog especially product reviews by rati….thumbs uppp :yes:
welcome to IMBB aisha. :)) Thanks for the dupe alert. 🙂
Ma pleasure rati….:)
Looks gud on u Rati!! should swatch this out next time!! so Tempted!!!! m just afraid it’ll make me look darker :struggle:
give it a shot. It does need a bit of color on cheeks and eyes though. on its own it may not be very flattering. 🙂
okie! thankuuuuuuuus! :)) will surely keep that in mind
its cool…bt some what expensive..i Live in London…can u suggest me any brands that available here in london..
No7, Rimmel, Sleek, Barry M, MUA, Maybelline, Loreal & Revlon are cheaper than Mac.
Boots often does £5 off vouchers on No7 so you might use that too. But Mac has a back to mac policy which gives you a free lippy for every 6 empty containers you return, so i say it’s worth it.
thank you anna. 🙂
thanks a ton Anna..
Vow Rati that shade is so pretty… just like u :teddy: :teddy:
Looking nice on you. But wouldn’t suite my NC42 skin :methinks:
I like this shade 😀 And lovely pic! 😉
Thats such a pretty shade rati..I am liking this more than twig..in general too and you too :))
Nice shade but I don’t think it would suit me, but anything looks nice on you, Rati. 😀 😀 😀

You look real pretty Rati! The look is very well put together. Yesterday I went to the Mac store and liked Mocha – it was sold out :waaa:
Any dupes for Mocha? or a close color preferably in Mac?
aarbee, I dont know a dupe for mocha ….:( I’d say that you wait for it , it would be worth it. 🙂
u nt lukng sleepy . U kinda gvng seducng look :hihi: color to :drool: h . .
Mac have kajal also ? Khol to h i knw . .
yeah the kohls are kajals only. Smolder is the black one. 🙂
Tired or sleepy.. you always looks so pretty 😉 :love: :love:
These type of natural looking MLBB colors are so hard to find in our usual drugstore brands. :spank: :spank: If you can please make a dupe list of such MLBB shades in MAC, it will be of tremendous use to us who are waiting to take a plunge into the MAC world :drool: :drool:
Please please do it when you have got some free time :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi:
The above petition of mine to make a dupe list is because of the fact that you have both MAC and the normal brands in your treasure lipstick box. :drool: :drool: So who better to advise us than you :specs: :specs:
Jismi I dont own dupes of the lipsticks anymore. They were just lying in my stash unused so gave them away. Thanks. 🙂
sleepy is pretty! 😀
This is such a yum yum shade.. very Kim K types naa…. and ur eyes look smiling 🙂 hehehe

Hey Rati, I was checking online and someone told that Maybelline “Warm me up” is v close to this. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Do you have that also? Is it true? :methinks: :methinks:
umm.. warm me up is more mauve toned.
I love this! It looks so pretty on you.
Rati,
I wanted to say I really enjoy reading your reviews and seeing the photos/swatches. You’re right about this lipstick – it is YLBB :-*
And how lucky you are to be getting MAC so cheap (In OZ I would have to pay double to get this lipstick)!
Aruna
