Review: MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick in Half N' Half

Here's a review on MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick in Half N' Half

PRICE: P1000.00

PLACE BOUGHT: MAC, Powerplant Mall

OTHER LOCATIONS: MAC STORES AT: Rustan's, Glorietta 3; Shangri-La Mall, Ortigas; Marionnaud, SM Mall of Asia; Trinoma, QC; Ayala Center, Cebu City

THE VERDICT:

Half N’ Half is a nude shade with a tender peach undertone. It’s somewhere in between a nude and tinted lipstick ‘cos I find that in spite of it’s lightness, the shade somehow pops out from my face. The shade doesn’t wash me out, so I highly recommend it to my fellow morenas.

It’s very moisturizing because the formula is Amplified Crème. Amplified Crème is my most favorite MAC lipstick formulation because it’s nearly as opaque as the matte variants, but not as drying.

I like pairing Half N’ Half with Nars’ Gina Blush for a summery glow, or MAC’s Blush Ombre in Springshine for a Bronzed look. It’s also a great choice to complement corporate looks! Methinks it will also look good with orange/cream, green/gold, or brown/bronze eyeshadow combinations.

How about you? What would you pair with Half N’ Half?

Hi Martha!

I love that lip color. Shades like that are quite hard to find.

Btw, I sent you an e-mail. :)

AW, I so miss commenting on your blog Ms.Martha! I've been very busy this past few days, at magiging busy pa din sa mga susunod na araw, so maybe I'll just set nalang a certain day para mag-online then dun nalang ako magbabasa ng mga recent posts po ninyo.
Anyway, MAC is always the perfect lippy for you! Kahit bold or neutral / nude colors, suits you well talaga!
