I love, love, LOVE MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam lipsticks. They are always inspired by celebrities, and 100% of the proceeds goes to the MAC AIDS Fund. You can’t argue with that! When I received the e-mail from MAC that contained a special code to pre-order the Nicki Minaj Viva Glam lipstick, I was really excited. The shade of pink is so bright and fresh and so flattering! To see photographs and swatches,
This shade is very different from Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday” lipstick by MAC. It’s much more on the coral-red pink side, whereas “Pink Friday” leans very pale, cool-toned, and blue. Here is a comparison of the two:
See how much brighter this lipstick can look depending on the lighting? It’s definitely a bright hot pink, but it can look very natural or very Barbie-like depending on how you layer it. Also, notice how this shade enhances every imperfection on your lips. I didn’t even think my lips were dry, but this shade really brought it out, so be sure to prep your lips very well before wearing this shade!
Overall: If you’re a fan of Nicki Minaj, or her style, you’ll love this lipstick. If you love bright, hot pink lipstick shades, you’ll find this lipstick very flattering.
