I know I've been talking about Etude House and other Korean products lately. So I'll be doing MAC for a change. I will be featuring a MAC cremesheen lipstick, Modesty. This is my favourite go-to everyday colour by far.
I love how sleek MAC bullets are!

Modesty is one of my first few products from MAC. I got it as a present from my sister. I had heard so much about Cremesheen finish before and was really overjoyed that she chose this! The first time I tried this lipstick, I fell instantly in love. It has the minty-vanilla scent that is typical of MAC lipsticks. It is described as muted neutral pink. On my lips, the colour appear pinkish-plum and it glides on perfectly smooth on my lips.
The pigmentation is perfect. The best thing about this lipstick is that I can wear this even without putting on any lipbalm/moisturiser beforehand and it still moisturises my lips without making it feel waxy whatsoever. It lasts for quite a long time, I would say up to 4-5 hours. You might find yourself needing to reapply after eating or drinking cos the colour transfers rather easily. Overall I'm really, really happy with this lipstick!
Swatches are as shown below. The left one is where I tried to build up the colour with three swipes. Hmm, not a very significant difference.
Swiped once (R), Swiped thrice (L)
Another similar colour would be Patisserie, which has a Lustre finish. It is described as sheer creamy neutral pink. However Patisserie is slightly darker.
Overall score: 5/5
Price: SGD 29 (currencies are dependent on where items are purchased)
