This is nice neutral pinky nude-y colour on me (NC30). I wouldn't call this a true nude on me since it isn't too pale on me but I much prefer this to other nudes out there that wash me out. I like wearing this with a clear gloss on top. A go-to whenever I don't want my lips to be too washed out.

I love this color. It's a good lipstick. I just wished it lasted longer. Of course I think that about all lipsticks.

I can't make this color work on it's own...washes me out completely..such a shame as the texture is really nice. I did find a solution, I pair it with MAC Frenzy. So first a layer gaga II, blot, a layer Frenzy, blot, tadaa perfect nude. But I'm not going to miss it when it's gone!

This was my very first true nude lipstick, and it is SO perfect for me. I have pretty fair skin (MAC NC15 is slightly too dark/orange) but this lipstick is my perfect nude. I have since fallen in love with MAC lipsticks in general because of the lovely texture that MAC Viva Glam Gaga2 had, and the lovely honey you can smell from the lipstick. The texture is soft, smooth, and a little creamy. It provides the perfect amount of moisture for my lips so that they don't dry out. I will/would repurchase this over and over again.

I love this lip color along with the lipglass. I'm pretty fair skinned but this is my favorite nude color to wear. My lips get really dry so I prep with some kind of lip moisturizer then apply the lipstick which definitely tones down the color a little and makes it a perfect nude shade! I wish it wasn't LE!

I love this lipstick. I absolutely adore it and its such a shame that it is limited edition. Its a beautiful nude with brown undertones. Definitely unique within the mac lipsticks range. It is an amplified finish. It is best used with exfoilated lips and lipliner, or blotted on (slowly building up the color which is my preferred method). A lot of the reviews that I have read have said that it looks horrible on them without any prepping or "technique" and I have to say I am one of them. I think one of the reasons why I am so drawned to this lipstick is because has been harder to find a nude brown without being brown or beige. Its A LOT easier to find a nude with pink/peach undertones. Gaga 2 is my HG nude lipstick and I have been slightly panicking since it is running out lol. NYX circe is a good dupe ( theres a hint of shade difference) but the consistancy is a alot different. Its a lot creamier (a bit runny) and smells like sunscreen:( I am still on the search to find a near perfect dupe. Until then I have been using it sparingly :/

I own probably 40 MAC lipsticks and I am a sucker for pinks and nudes although it's always been tricky finding a nude that worked for me, either too white, too brown, too orange....then I bought the Lady Gaga Viva Glam II with the lipglass and OMG perfection, love,love,love. I tried it on at MAC fell in love bought the set took it home and lined my lips with Oak and then my VS Pro lip primer, then the lipstick then the lipglass and it's amazing. It's the perfect nude, just gorgeous. I get compliments all the time, everyone asks what I'm wearing and where to get it. I can't say enough. Absolutely my favorite lipstick with Lady Gaga 1 coming in second. For reference I have very long black hair with bangs, NC42 in summer, C4 in the winter, I'm half Japanese, light green eyes. If you can make it to a CCO get it, you'll love it, the cute set with the Lady Gaga I and II in the little red cosmetic bag is such a good deal. Love it!

It's a peculiar nude; more of a clay colour, really. It washes out the skin tone and lends to it a 'dead' look. The lipglass is no better. Disappointing.

I was extremely excited for this lipstick,but was sadly disappointed once I got home with it. This lipstick makes me look dead! I bought the lipglass as well and when layerd on darker skin tones it is gorgeous but not so hot on my fair skin. This lipstick was a big let down for me:(

I love this color since i am in love with nudes but this is the perfect color for a sultry sexy look but not too much. its paler than skin but with just a good hint of tan and nude. whenever i put on other nude lipsticks, i always feel like it just blends into my skin or its not really noticeable but this color literally looks like foundation in a tube plus the lipstick tube is so fun and cute when you open it with a line of red and lady gaga's signature ! its so fun to work with day and night out !

I really like this lipstick! Yes, when applied directly from the tube and onto your lips it it way too washed out. But when gently patted onto the lips it gives a barely there, almost retro 60's look. I find it quite moisturising, not too shiny and not too matte either.

Skin: NW20-25

I got this at a CCO and was really excited to try this because it's a very talked about lipstick. Although I'm not dark at all, this lipstick is way too cool-toned nude and makes me look dead. The only way I'm using this up is to layer under lipsticks to make it more moisturizing and a lighter color. A pro is that the formula is beautiful!

This is a pale clay nude lipstick with a peach tint for warm skin tones. Although cool toned ladies will probably hate it, and recommend some pale nude pink that will give us warm under-tone lassies a horrible purple lipped corpse look! The peach keeps it warm and tones perfectly with my pale golden skin. I use it this shade for covering up the rosy or plum colored pigment in my lips when I want to emphasise smoky grey eyes and soft peachy cheeks. Or honeyed caramel all-neutrals with chocolate smouldering eyes.


This is my first amplified creme. Its creamy and moisturising, and doesn't highlight lines on my lips, and the intense pigmentation can be applied with different levels of intensity. Dab softly and blot with a tissue to softly tint the lips. Or lavish it for striking effect (mannequin-lips!).


On a side note, I feel satisfied in the value for money Amplified Cremes give me. A tiny bit dabbed gives a good result and the tube lasts for ages. Better than packing on layers of sheer lipstick to get it enough color to show then discovering its finished in just a few weeks!

i really enjoy this lipstick. it is one of my most grabbed lipsticks! Beautiful nude color with a hint of mauve. Love it for everyday wear . Great with any gloss or by itself. It doesnt last as long as i would like it to, but i always carry the lipstick with me in my makeup bag, so no big deal. Its amazingly pigmented and smooth. i already have a backup.

Ok so normally before I buy something I do research online, and look up swatches. I had been eyeing this lipstick for a while and was hesitant to buy only because I have really pigmented lips. I decided to just go into mac and ask the MUA for their opinion and to actually try it on. First off, the texture of this lipstick is amaaaazing! so creamy. the color turned out to be soooo incredibly pretty! It mutes out my lips without giving that dreaded concealer appearence. I decided to buy it (well two since it's LE)

I love this nude beige matte. Mac Siss is my all time holy grail lipstick, and this Gaga 2 I like even better. The satin formula is my favorite being that it is highly pigmented. It stays on a long time. This lipstick is a great base for lipglosses in any color. Especially bright ones that I want to be toned down.
