I just love the name of this lipstick, HOLLYWOOD CERISE. A beautiful plum-orchid colour, which is bang on for our INDIAN skin tones, lets know more on it.

Shade: Hollywood cerise, it a warm toned orchid, with visible maroon, plum  undertones to it. The closest dupe that I can find for it is our good old’ FLAT OUT FABULOUS , but even fof, is a little more cool toned and more on the purple side.

Packaging :  Even tough the shade is part of a collection it comes In the regular black MAC packaging, nothing much to fancy about.

Texture & Formula – as the name states it is a SATIN  finish, which happens to be my loved one from MAC. As in general I love matte finishes over any other, but Hollywood cerise is a favourite of mine. It is a creamy semi-matte , non-drying  formulation, which goes on like a dreamy totally non patchy.

Pigmentation : The pigmentation is OPAQUE in a single swipe, no tugging or pulling, this is what I ,love about the satins, mattes from MAC.MAC Hollywood Cerise Lipstick Review Swatches Photos (6)

Staying Power :  the staying power on this is decent, not like  a super long wearing formula. it stays on me for about 3 hours, with snacking in between, this is how and average non-matte  lipstick stays on me.

Overall Thoughts

I wouldn’t say that it is a must have shade, as we have flat out fabulous which is quite a dupe for this. I do love how it suits the fairest to the duskier skin tones, very wearable, comfortable application and wear. MAC Hollywood Cerise Lipstick doesn’t bleed or transfer much. It does leave a stain on the lips after the actual colour wears out. it is a very easy to go shade, and can be paired beautifully with plum or brown smoky eyes. The only con is the availability.

Rating : 4/5
