MAC So Chaud - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

Vintage, Retro, Pin-Up Girl, Sexy; these are my personal description of MAC So Chaud.
This is my first matte lipstick from MAC, and just like my other MAC lipsticks, this did not disappoint. :)

MAC So Chaud is in a matte formula, which I prefer especially for bright and unconventional lip colors.
If MAC Lady Danger is a bright red-orange shade, So Chaud is a medium tone orange-red shade. It's definitely not as bright as MAC Morange or MAC Neon Orange.

PROS: Great formula (matte), opaque, pigmented, and long wearing. The color is not as common as the usual reds and oranges.

CONS: Being a high-end product, it is a bit pricey.

VERDICT: 5 out of 5 CHILIS! Yes, it is pricey. But I personally think it's worth every peso. Also, it's not available in all MAC Counters.

Orange lipsticks? People have mixed emotions about these babies. Half of them are raving about it, while the other half is sticking up their nose.

I was initially thrown-off about this idea, too. I thought, that'll be like wearing cheddar cheese on my lips. But for the heck of it, I gave it a try.

It wasn't that bad. It wasn't bad at all. :)

(sorry for the poor quality)

Just like red lipsticks (or any lipstick for that matter), there are things you need to consider when purchasing the orange lipstick for you.

You want it bright? Dark? Coral-y? Almost red? Deep? Pale?
How about the finish? Matte? Creamy? Glossy? Lustre?


These are just some of the things to consider when you're looking for a lipstick in a particular shade, especially something that's out of the ordinary.

Now let me share with you the orange lipsticks that I found that works for me (or at least something that I enjoy wearing).

Remember, there's no such thing as a universal lipstick. You have to look for the lipstick that will work for you. And how do you find it? By trying on as many as you can :)



Please watch out for my individual reviews on these lipsticks. :)
