What are MAC’s top 20 lipstick shades?

MAC’s Top 20 Lipstick Shades

 

When it comes to lipstick shades, there are always a handful of shades that become instant sensations around the world. I remember when MAC’s Russian Red debuted and every celebrity had to have it. You’d see that shade worn at every nightclub. Madonna used to wear it early in her career.

 

I thought it would be fun to countdown MAC’s top 20 lipstick shades this week. Can you guess which colour is the most popular? There might be a couple hues that surprise you! I was a little surprised how little pink showed up in this list. Pink is universally the top seller in terms of lip colour. But MAC caters to a slightly edgier customer so some of these nudes make perfect sense.

I also think these lists offer great colour suggestions. If a certain colour is particularly popular, you know that it is going to flatter a great range of skin tones. You might get a few ideas of shades you might want to try. Here’s the list!

    I think there are less pink shades due to the population aging and pink doesn’t always suit older skin tones. @Gaglin

    My favourite MAC lipstick shade is Del Rio. It’s an awesome plum colour and I love it! MAC also used to carry a brownish/red colour named “Sepia” that I loved but they discontinued it a long time ago.

    Del Rio isn’t on the list but it’s my favourite. I’ve been buying it for over 10 years.
