MAC Hot Tahiti Lipstick (Rs 990) available at MAC Stores
MAC Hot Tahiti is one shade that I always looked at but never picked, though I knew that this is my kind of shade. This time I decided to pick it and I am glad that I did.
Shade – I would describe MAC Hot Tahiti as a rosy red color. Shade is bit hard to describe but then that’s what makes it different from regular red lipsticks. MAC Hot Tahiti falls into Glaze finish in permanent line, that means finish is more glossy and sheer. MAC Hot Tahiti is a color that will compliment all skintones. It can be worn as a tint during daytime.
Texture & Formula – I find finish of MAC Hot Tahiti close to lustre but bit more sheer and glossy. I have dry lips so I always prefer formulas that are glossy and moisturizing. Texture is buttery and glides on without tugging or pulling. Lipstick doesn’t settle in fine lines nor does it accentuates dry patches. Finish is so glossy that lips appear fuller and luscious.
Pigmentation – Glaze range has the sheerest colors. MAC Hot Tahiti provides sheer coverage that can be built up to medium. It evens out lips and covers pigmentation. Due to its sheer texture, color may look different depending on how pigmented or rosy your lips are.
Staying Power – MAC Hot Tahiti stays for good 3-4 hours on me and leave slight tint behind.
Overall Thoughts
I am very pleased with the color and formula. MAC Hot Tahiti is my go to lipstick shade these days. It compliments my complexion and doesn’t look “In your face” red. If you have dry lips or love glossy finishes, this one formula can be a good choice. Also if you are a beginner or looking for a red lipstick to start with, try Hot Tahiti, its wearable and looks very pretty. This color would complement medium to deeper skintones.
