I love Lady Gaga and when my bf bought me the Gaga Viva Glam lipstick I was SO impressed by the quality of the MAC lipstick I wanted more.
So I bided my time and pennies :money: and have waited until I go to the USA to buy.
I really want two MAC lipsticks, a red and a nude. Are there any colours you would recommend or avoid? I know MAC has a big following and would love any advice
If it helps I am pale, with mid brown hair and brown eyes. I would say my skin is slightly more yellow than pink.

Ask for advice at a MAC counter before you go, make a note of numbers as well as names, they change names in the US, also check out the lipglosses, they are outstanding and there is a huge choice - happy shopping:)Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0

Lady Danger is a really nice red. I don't wear nudes so can't really advise on that - I did buy Shygirl but I found that quite gold toned and hated it!0 -
I have the same colouring as yourself and I have found that Ramblas Red is a gorgeous colour. Creme cup is also a lovely nude colour, stay clear of myth though - that looks like foundation lips.
On another note - Viva Glam 5 is a gorgeous colour for us pale girlies with brown hair!!

Ruby Woo for the red most definitely
Also Kim Kardashians lips always look nude, but she actually uses Mac Angel, which is a pink-ish colour but I would say goes on more natural.
Have fun.The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0 -
Ruby Woo is beautiful but quite drying, I'd recommend checking Karla Sugar's swatches here
Lady Danger is quite orange based, Russian Red is a deeper red that is more cool toned. The new range of Sheen Supreme lipsticks could be a good option too if you want a more modern shiny red as opposed to a matte - New Temptation looks lovely on Temptalia here. I'd recommend trying a few on at the counter, finding your perfect red can be hard and is different for everyone!
Nice nudes are Creme D' Nude if you want something creamy, and Myth for something with more coverage.
Have fun and enjoy your holiday!0 -
Nudes with some warmth Velvet Teddy and Half n Half. Get colour matched at a counter and they will give suggestions.
Reds I can't do at all, I am fair but warm toned NC15/20 and stick with the reddish browns.0
