MAC Cosmo Lipstick is my favourite MAC lipstick from all those iv tried. Two reasons- one it is a ‘my lips but better ‘ lipstick and is one of those brown pink lipsticks that look great on indian skintones. Two, is because of a little incident that i shall describe later. For now, enjoy the gorgeousness that is cosmo…really girls, if i had to pick a lipstick from MAC that would flatter all indian skin tones – it would be this one.

MAC Cosmo is an amplified cream lipstick - which is one of my favourite finishes in MAC lipsticks. They are super creamy to apply and just a little bit on your lips spreads them out to cover your lips in a nice rosey color.
Cosmo is a warm rosey pink with peachy brown undertones and looks stunning on warm and darker skintones . Very natural and soft. It will look just as stunning on cooler and lighter tones as well- its one of those universally flattering colors that are hard to get a hold of. When i dont know what lipstick i wanna wear, i reach for cosmo. Definitely my favourite lipstick from all those that iv tried from MAC so far.

So the second reason i like this lipstick is because on a particular date with ‘the boy’, he was mentioning how he hated girls with too much makeup. He said something to the tune of
“Ugh, i hate girls who put on too much makeup. I mean how do guys kiss girls with all that gloop on their lips. I’m so happy yr not the kinds who wears lipsticks on your lips- like even right now on a date, you havent slathered on lipstick”..
Umm..cough cough, i had actually slathered on cosmo but i smiled sweetly , batted my lashes and said ‘Ofcourse sweetie, i know what you mean totally’…

I am going to India this summer and have been making a list of what to pick up at MAC. I mean, I can get it here but it will be fun to pick up some things there! Putting this on my list!
My friends and I were just talking about this yesterday. How does it compare to Mehr?
And I love what "the boy" said. So cute!
@ALLF- yes gloop- bad. Natural- good !
@chic geek- haha…yes but be prepared , a lot of these popular ones are sold out!!!
@Zainab- Yknow, when swatched on skin..they look very similar but on lips mehr is like a true pink – matte and Pink! While cosmo is a pink with a bit of brown in it and shiny..love em both equally, but cosmo is my everyday lipstick, and mehr is my 'pink' lipstick
@zainab- and yes,the boy is very cute when he says such things! lol Not so cute when he says things like ' But why do u wanna buy that skirt- Do you need it? I mean, you may want it, but buy it only if u NEED it' .Ufff,..men!
I love dis wenevr I see d swatches..I think dis wud be my first MAC lippie
@bhumika- yll love it i promise!
Hahaha, what the boy said is hysterical!
It's a beautiful shade!

@savannah – hehe..it really is
I love what you said "the boy" said and your response! The trick is to know how to wear makeup so that it doesn't look like you have too much…I've learned a lot after much trial & error haha…great post btw!

@shalini – it absolutely suits dusky skin tones. Its very flattering on all skin tones actually…im medium skintone, my sister is dusky..looks good in both of us
Mehak. It looks GORGEOUS, but can you PLEASE do a daylight swatch without flash?
I mean it looks awesome and all, but I’d just love to see hoe it looks in daylight. Only if it’s not too much trouble, though. What with the wedding coming up and all
Hi Indu..here the mUA used Cosmo on me – you can check it out- http://peachesandblush.com/2012/02/before-after-my-mac-makeover-at-mac-emirates-mall-dubai.html
This is with flash too though…ill try and get you a swatch without flash.
THAT was such a fast reply, Mehak. Another reason why PnB is my favourite!
Thank you!
I just close my eyes and placed an on-line order of MAC Cosmo lippie …Its my first purchase from mac…:-)
hi mehak. . . .
He giftd me a mac lippi naming cosmo bt its extremely lite pink nt the above 1 (whch i wantd actualy) how is dt posibl? Is there any odr variatn of it dts avaible?
Hi azra, Nope its the same …
What skin shade are u ? Cosmo is definitely a bronish pink, but if u google swatches it looks very very different on diff skintones. Are you deeper skinshade than me?
my skin shade is medium almost like yours (except towards pink nt yellow) bt i hav slight pigmentd lips….
