Product Features: Brand: MAC Type: Lipstick Color: Honey-Love Weight: 0.1 oz. Usage: Apply directly to lips Details: Cream finish Ideal for pale. The MAC Honeylove Lipstick will stay on the lips for around 4 to 5 hours and in the end it wears off evenly without staining the lips. The Honeylove shade is perfect for everyday use when you want to wear something subtle. This beigy nude shade will suit extremely pale to light skin tones and will wash out medium to dark skin tones. MAC Honeylove is a moderately warm-toned, medium beige with a semi-matte finish. It is a permanent lipstick that retails for $20.00 and contains 0.1 oz.

MAC honey love lipstick is walled in a lustrous black packaging with twist up functional bullet shaped tube with the name of the lipstick inscribed at the bottom. Speaking of the shade, it is undoubtedly an MLBB nude lipstick. The shade is, however, a tricky one to pull off for the Indian skin tones.

MAC Honeylove lipstick is the latest nude lipstick from MAC to find its way into my ever growing lipstick collection. Purchased in duty free on my way to Dublin last month, it was one of two shades on my duty-free shopping list. I had been eyeing up MAC Whirl, but having swatched the shade on my wrist I hesitated and realised I'm not quite ready to rock a full blown brown lip (all in good time...). And as my friend is a fan of the shade Honeylove, as is my latest favourite YouTuber Lydia Elise Millen, I would have been a fool not to pop it into my basket.

Fast forward a few weeks MAC Honeylove £15.50 has become a happy resident in my handbag. The shade isn't quite matte, it's semi-matte and at first I thought the shade would be too light for my skintone and leave me looking as though I'd applied concealer to my lips, but I was wrong. The shade is a warm beige, with a subtle peach undertone that's comfortable to wear and easy to apply and has that sweet vanilla scent us beauty addicts know oh so well. In comparison to MAC Velvet Teddy, Honeylove isn't as brown and is far lighter in tone. Yet it has the same satin finish, that after a few hours wear, wears down to a more matte finish.

Honeylove doesn't necessarily require a lip liner, but as MAC has just dropped their own lip kits and paired Honeylove with Subculture Lip Liner, I'm already contemplating popping back in store to pick it up. And admittedly Honeylove isn't the only nude lipstick I've purchased in the last month or so (I've got more to share!). I've become a woman obsessed with nude lip products. Send help... and more Muiji storage!

Review, Swatches, Dupes, Price of MAC Honeylove Matte Lipstick

By Contributor: Sanchita

MAC lipsticks are phenomenal and the quality reflects in their price tag. Being a lover of matte lipsticks, I couldn’t resist picking up a few matte lipsticks from their collection. I have a very few lipsticks from this range, (courtesy: the humongous price tag) but I can’t deny the beauty of this brand. I wanted to try out MAC Yash but unfortunately it was not available in the stores therefore the SA suggested me to try out another matte nude shade called Honeylove. This was a gift from my elder brother for my birthday and definitely I couldn’t ask more than a MAC lipstick for myself. So, let’s see the review and swatches in detail on the lipstick.

MAC Claims: Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.

My Review of MAC Honeylove:

In the world of beauty, MAC is known for its classic products and unmatchable quality providing an array of options for cosmetics. The packaging is the complete signature for all their lipsticks. MAC honey love lipstick is walled in a lustrous black packaging with twist up functional bullet shaped tube with the name of the lipstick inscribed at the bottom.

Speaking of the shade, it is undoubtedly an MLBB nude lipstick. The shade is, however, a tricky one to pull off for the Indian skin tones. It is light beige color with soft pink undertones. On my skin tone (NC35) it washes me out. With a cool fair/pale skin tone this would be a perfect nude to flatter. Sometimes, you can simply dab the color slightly with your fingertips on the lips to get a faint nude touch on the lips if the color makes you look sick. Needlessly to say, the color compliments any stark smoky look to its best. If you are extremely fair skin tone, the shade Honeylove can be a great alternative for daily subtle look.

The mac lipstick is falls on the matte range of Lip color but it is quite creamy and glides on the lips like heaven. It settles into a matte finish and hardly transfers, giving you an impressionable look for a long time. When worn alone on chapped lips, it doesn’t make quite an impression but under a layer of lip liner, it absolutely look stunning.

The honeylove lipstick is not hydrating for already dry lips but it surely keeps the lips from getting drier further. The color flatters well moisturized lips better. The nude lipstick remains intact for a duration of 4-5 hours without getting patchy. It has the ability to survive proper meals and drinks very well. Over a lip liner, the color sometimes goes a long way.
