Review, Swatches and Dupe of MAC Lipstick Pink Pigeon

By Contributor: Samannita

When it comes to lipsticks I am always obsessed with pink shades, I don’t know why I always end up by buying the same shades from different brands. And here is the example of my stupid obsession..although I have Daddy’s Little Girl, Love Forever from MAC, I was still craving from Pink Pigeon. Pink pigeon is a Limited edition shade from Strength collection. And people like me are mad about LEs. And when it is a bright pink like Pink Pigeon, I guess the shade itself will say everything. Let’s start with my review and swatches.

MAC Claims: Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M.A.C famous. Totally true for this lipstick

Pink Pigeon is a bright pink that might not suit dusky Indian skin tones but will look great on fair to medium skin tones. The shade in bright sunny weather looks awesome. It looks so neon pink on me which I really love. But the shade is such a chameleon..it looks different in different lights. But whatever the shade looks on me in whatever light I just love to see my lips again and again in my hand mirror that I always carry in my handbag! The pigmentation of the lipstick is awesome. A single swipe is enough to get the actual shade of the lipstick.

The finish is matte and the texture is so smooth. I don’t feel any pulling or tugging on my lips while applying the lipstick. As the lipstick is matte so application of lip balm prior to applying the lipstick is suggested for dry lips. And proper exfoliation is must before applying this lipstick else one will end up with flaky lips. The fragnance of the lipstick is the usual vanilla scent that vanishes within few minutes of application thus it is good for people with sensitive nose like me..as I don’t use a lot of my lipsticks due to their fragnance which I can’t tolerate. Anyways coming to the review again!

The staying power of the lipstick is pretty good. It stays for more than 6 hours on me and fades away leaving a nice light pink tint on my lips.

The lipstick although being a limited edition comes in the regular packaging of MAC lipsticks, but the shade always matters more than the packaging. And who wants to spend extra bucks just for the packaging? So I am really happy that the price was not increased for being limited edition.

Happy Christmas everyone! Today is Christmas all over the world. Here at AngSavvy.com, it’s not a White Christmas nor a Blue Christmas. Instead, it’s a Pink Christmas! Just because I’ve been into reds lately doesn’t mean that I’ll wear red lips both last night and today. Since I’ve already worn red yesterday, today I wanted to wear a pink lipstick. A bright pink! So I thought of MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick which I’ve only bought recently and had already worn quite a few times.

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick had first been released as a Limited Edition. I had not been able to buy it, as well as Party Parrot, when it was released a few years ago. So I was so happy when it was repromoted as part of the Permanent line. I just wish that Party Parrot will also be repromoted, too.

MAC PINK PIGEON LIPSTICK
Matte

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick is classified as a bright cleanest pink with a matte finish. In the bullet, it looks like a medium blue-based pink. When swatched on my arm, it is evident how cool-toned this lippie really is. I believe that this color would work on all skin tones and undertones. It will just depend on whether you like blue-based pink lipsticks.

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick is a bit pigmented. It is already semi-opaque with just 1 swipe. With 2 or more layers, more opaque coverage can be achieved.

Its texture is a bit creamy, making it really easy to apply. It glides easily and does not drag nor tug on the lips at all. It applies evenly across the lips and does not settle into lip lines. I didn’t experience any feathering, but if you’re prone to feathering, then you might want to line your lips first.

Pink Pigeon has a satin-matte finish, but after about an hour or two, the satin sheen is gone and it becomes a little bit more matte. You can also simply blot it with a clean tissue paper to get a more matte finish. I personally like to blot it because it looks better on me when it’s more matte and stain-like. I also like using it for gradation/gradient lips.

Application Tips:

☆ Exfoliate the lips well.
☆ Moisturize lips with a good lip balm. After 10 to 20 minutes, blot with a clean tissue paper to remove excess shine.
☆ Apply lip primer like MAC Prep+Prime Lip and wait for it to become tacky, about a minute.
☆ Then apply 1 layer of MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick then blot with a tissue.
☆ Apply a second layer of the lipstick and blot again.
☆ Finally, apply a third layer either on the whole lips or only on the center parts of the lips so it will appear fuller. Blot ever so lightly, just so it wouldn’t stain your teeth.

The color on my lips is a cool-toned bright medium pink. I love that it doesn’t suck the moisture from my lips although it’s not as long-lasting as my other MAC matte lipsticks. It lasts around 6 to 7 hours on my lips and after eating and drinking, reapplication is required.

I bought MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick for PhP1,000 from MAC in Mall of Asia. It is now part of the Permanent line of MAC’s lipsticks so I can use it up without fear of not being able to replace it because I can always buy more. Alternatively, it can also be bought here and here .

Mac Pink Pigeon Lipstick Dupe Palette

Mac Pink Pigeon Lipstick Dupe Eyeshadow

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick has the same signature vanilla scent of MAC lipsticks. I have grown to love this scent and taste that I sometimes miss them when I’m using a different brand of lipstick.

This is a very pretty pink with just enough brightness that is not overpowering. It is obvious on my lips how cool-toned it is against the warmth of my skintone, that they seem to clash, but I still love it! Better than Candy Yum Yum, if you ask me. 😉
