MAC PRO LIPSTICK SHOW ORCHID : Review & LOTD

There are few lipstick shades that you never want to miss, and similar such shade is MAC’s Pro shade show Orchid.  It’s unique and limited edition and not available unless MAC decides to launch Pro Lipstick collection 2014 this September. I am always hooked to pink shades irrespective whatever undertones and finishes it has, pink is ultimate shade and I always look for it. Not that I don’t love reds, corals etc. but when it comes to bright vibrant pink I am always bias. :p

While picking MAC PRO LIPSTICK ‘SHOW ORCHID’ I never thought this stunning shade would compliment so much- It’s so gorgeous girls that you will never want to leave this shade #mark #my #words.

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

Price: 1450 INR for 3gm.

My Experience With MAC PRO LIPSTICK SHOW ORCHID

MAC describes ‘SHOW ORCHID’ as Very Hot Pink with Amplified finish. I agree with MAC, ‘SHOW ORCHID’ is very eye catching vibrant fuchsia-pink with irridescent purple sheen to it. The shade is brighter than MAC Girl about Town with same amplified cream finish. MAC ‘SHOW ORCHID’ has very strong blue undertones to it.

The time I swatched MAC Show Orchid and MAC Full Fuchsia along with GAT ( reviewed here) at back of my hand both looked quite similar to GAT but when I applied on lips I loved Show orchid more than Full Fuchsia. Therefore always remember to apply on lips to understand better.

MAC amplified cream formulas are always my favorite for their rich and opaque color coverage… Highly pigmented and awesome staying power. I can see a slight difference in formula although, all amplified formulas are creamy but Show Orchid is neither too creamy nor drying. However, it is moisturizing and very comfortable on lips. Glides smoothly and stays up to almost 5 hours with slight fading. It leaves beautiful pink tint on lips which looks healthy. The shade attracted me the time I saw the swatches online and honestly who will miss the chance to pick a Pro- shade!

In the pic below, I have applied on my lips without any lip liner and it doesn’t smudge or bulge from lip lines. It is opaque in just a single swipe. A perfect party shade for every season. I love wearing it during day and night and it looks absolutely stunning.
