December is here, and so is the season for crimson lips! This week I’ll be featuring three red lipsticks in a range of textures and colors. Today I’ve got MAC Viva Glam Cyndi, which is a very sheer red and appropriate for the faint of heart. The color could be built up (or worn over a lipliner) for more depth.

This strawberry shade has been described as universally flattering and my very scientific Google Image Search indicates this is true. Even more amazing is the fact that it somehow looks different on everyone. Go on, see for yourself!
Perhaps the most festive part of this lipstick is that 100% of the purchase price goes to the MAC AIDS Fund. It’s only available through February, so definitely grab one soon if you’re interested.
Price: $14.50

MAC Viva Glam Cyndi, MAC Lady Bug, NYX Snow White

You know, it looks like a sheerer Lady Bug. Do you think that’s true or is it just the photo?
I agree! I think Cyndi also has a bit of a coral undertone as well. Stay tuned because Lady Bug is actually the next red lipstick in the series
Looks gorgeous on you. Thanks for sharing!
That looks absolutely ASTONISHING on you! Such a fantastic colour.

Thank you pretty lady!
Looks great on you!! I have this lipstick and I simply love it! But on me (NC20, light pink lips) it looks a lot more red with only one coat!

I think it might have looked different because I applied it with a lip brush? I also expected the color to be a bit more red!
There you go, it’s actually a lot more sheer than I was imagining. Thanks!
Cindy looks very different on you. On me it looks far more corally and deeper in colour, but then my lips are also a lot more pigmented than yours. Fascinating.
I’m telling you, it’s magic or something. It looks different in every picture I’ve seen!
