THE VERDICT:

Pink Nouveau is one of MAC's most famous lipstick shades. According to some, it's a bubbly color that you can wear without looking unnatural, and it looks good on fair and dark skin tones alike.

And it is always out of stock in our local MAC stores. Apparently, it is also a favorite of some local celebrities, according to a source.

I've been waiting for a long time to buy one but unfortunately, the stocks are always sold out a few days after they arrive at our MAC stores. And unfortunately, some MAC stores don't honor reservations. They just ask people to wait for fresh stocks.

Anyway, Lady Luck was on my side when I saw a post by Sis Shally saying that she's going to sell her newly- bought Pink Nouveau. And I sent her a message instantly and asked her to reserve the lipstick for me.

So here's my take on MAC's most sought- after pink lipstick.

Pink Nouveau is a cool pink lipstick with a slight lilac undertone. The shade of PN may vary depending on what skin tone it is worn against. On fair skinned ladies, this may appear a tad lighter, almost bubblegum pink- ish. But on morena and dark skinned girls, the lilac undertone becomes a bit obvious.

And they are right, indeed, it's a pretty shade!

IMO, Pink Nouveau is the love child of MAC's Up The Amp and Saint Germain. The latter shades might require guts to wear on a daily basis. But their lovechild, Pink Nouveau, lets you enjoy both worlds!

If you look closely, you might feel or think that Pink Nouveau might look too odd on your lips. I even thought when I first tried this on, that it makes my lips stick out in a weird way. But when I got to see my face from afar, this lipstick is actually so pretty under natural lighting! It makes tanned skin tones more radiant. And for a bright lipstick, it is unexpectedly wearable. Much more wearable than Lavender Whip!

'Scuse the eye bags. Just wanted to show everyone a photo of moi wearing Pink Nouveau. I love the fact that it makes me look girly and young. It's a refreshing break from my usual lipstick colors: red, beige, rose, brown.

I swear, it's worth purchasing a Pink Nouveau!
