I love this colour. Ravishing is my first "real" lipstick because before I only had cheap drugstore kinds that I only wore a few times when I would be go or something. I'm a huge fan of corals/oranges/peaches on my lips, and this colour is the perfect coral that I can wear everyday. It really makes my lips pop and brings out my hazel eyes and warms up my complexion, without being too over the top. I'm still not really used to wearing a lipstick all the time, and I don't like how it accentuates any dryness I have on my lips (grr winter...) but I guess all lipsticks do that, so it's not really this one's fault. It's a bit pricey, but will last a while and it's worth it! Will rebuy!

Kind of like MAC Vegas Volt's demure little sister.

I love the MAC lipsticks in general. This color is a gentle coral-orange color and I don't think I have trouble with this color (sometimes orange-based lipsticks look really really weird on my warm-toned skin). It's creamy and pigmented from the get-go and is not drying or overly greasy on the lips.

I like this when my eyes are darker and sultry but I don't want to blank out my lips, because while it certainly isn't an attention-grabber, it is definitely a noticeable difference from my normal lip color/a nude lip.

The packaging is simple and sturdy, like all MAC bullet-shaped lipsticks. It has that classic MAC vanilla-plastic smell that I have grown to adore.

Overall I really really recommend this lipstick, because i think it looks great on most skin tones and isn't so loud and overpowering that the more conservative don't have to fear about having an overstated lip color.

CONSIDER IF:
- You want to try bolder colors but you're a bit nervous
- You like coral-orange lip colors

SKIP IF:
- You prefer sheer lip products
- You don't like coral/orange lip colors

If you are a woman of color: get this lippie. If you love a nude lip but fear the powder donut lip look, try this. I wear ravisihng lipstick with nyx smokey look lip gloss on top, very Kim Kardashian . I'm nc 45 for ref. I own similiar colors in the orange/peachy lippie family. Mac's vegas volt = loud but pretty. NYX frappaccino = nude brown peach . and Underplay= very nude peach. The best for daytime or night is Ravisishing or frapp. The others you will have to work and fuss around with( but thewy also look good)Make sure you pair any of these with a gloss.. that's a must or the look will be uninteresting.

Really like this lipstick. My lips are quite pigmented, so it comes out on me as a sort of dusky peachy shade. Very flattering and makes my eyes look very blue.

It is reasonably long lasting - I would maybe have a little touch up after eating or drinking. I don't bother using a liner with this. I apply with my finger because the soft lip line looks really nice with this girly colour. Think it would look a bit strange with a really hard lip line around it.

Fab!

This is a great peachy color. I put strange potion on top & it goes perfect together. It isn't too bold & goes well for my NC20 skin!

This is a really pretty color but it's sooooo not me. It's a super bright coraly little number that i could only see working in the summer. I like, never wear it lol. I'm always torn about what shadow and blush combinations to go with it??? This shade is just too brite and coral for my taste but it's really pretty.

this is a very bright colour. my biggest complaint with this lipstick is that to get a thick colour on your lips you have to apply many layers on to begin with and then keep re-applying regularly. MACs matte and satin formulas are better. it is not very thick, and goes on more like a sheen. i am an NW25 and i found that this colour didnt really suit me - perhaps because i dont normally wear loud colours and this one was particularly out of my comfort zone - i am more of a nude and baby pink type of girl. but if you do like the brighter colours, this is a nice orange, just be ware that it is not very thick and requires a fair bit of maintenance. it feels nice on the lips though. it is a definite orange but is not as in your face as colours such as morange - it is one of the more subtle oranges. if you are a person who suits orange lipstick, it is probably one that you could wear to work everyday. i wont be re-buying only because i cannot wear the colour.

I bought this colour awhile back cause it looked pretty in the tube like a nice coral colour but for some reason on my lips it just looks orange. I'm an NC 35-40 for reference.I was tempted to take it back but then I tried it with some MAC florabundance lipglass on top and WOW it was an amazing combination.

This is a colour that is difficult to explain and I think is probably very dependent on what colouring you have. I'm a big fan of peaches and oranges. I'm NC20 and unlike most people- I never feel like NC20 is too yellow. I'm a classic peaches and cream complexion so those tones really suit me. However I work in an industry where wearing Morange or Vegas Volt is not really appropriate, so I wear Ravishing as it is more muted. Really good formula as well. Creamy but still stays for a few hours.

This is the perfect coral lipstick! I wear this when I'm perhaps going to a beach party because it feels so summer-y. I love paring this with Fulfilled plushglass to give me that voluptuous shine.

Definitely a creamy wearable peach. Not moisturizing but not drying if you have normal lips. It's a slightly bright summer color but not so much so that it looks loud or tacky. I have somewhat fair skin and this lipstick looks great when I pair it with a color complimenting outfit. I wouldn't want to wear it every day but it's pretty and fun when I'm in the mood for it!

I liek this product alot because it's a pretty coral. However, for it to look liek a pretty coral, I have to go through so many steps.
1. apply lip balm
2. apply some concealer to nude out my pigmented lips
3. lightly apply the lipstick
I mean I love the color after all the steps, but it takes a lot of time. The coral really warms up my pale skin, and doesn't make my teeth look yellow. I think it's a really beautiful color. However, another problem I have with it is that since it's really creamy, it kind of bleeds through your lip line. SO it looks best with a lip pencil. Overall, it's a good lipstick, but I won't repurchase it because it will take me forvever to go through it:)

I'm a huge fan of coral lipsticks so when I saw this one, I had to get it. It goes on really smooth and stays on for hours. Though I love this color, to tone it down occassionally, I'll put the Viva Glam Gaga (the 1st) lipglass over it and it makes it so beautiful and peachy. It's one of my all-time favorite lip combos and this lipstick is just gorgeous. I definitely recommend it for those with fair-medium skin tones.

Fab color!! I am pretty pale and cool toned and it works for me. Lots of coverage and great staying power. Not to mention, much cheaper than the Armani lipsticks I usually buy. A keeper!!

This lipstick is gorgeous! The perfect lipstick for spring/summer. The texture is very nice, glides on nicely and lasts a long time. I will definitely be repurchasing. :)

I find that this lipstick is greatly under rated when it comes to the more "popular" MAC lipsticks and it doesn't make your teeth look TOO yellow, which is what some orange/coral/peachy colours tend to do on me. I went to MAC looking for a wearable peachy coral thinking that Shy Girl was the way to go... which ended up a lighter nude peach on my skin tone. Then the MUA recommended Ravishing which was exactly the colour I was looking for. It looks lovely with browny toned eye shadows and also perfect for the spring/summer season, though I would wear this lipstick year round because I love anything peachy whenever because it looks quite good on me.

I'm a relatively pale person, but I think this colour works really well with my NW20 skin! Lovely coral/peach colour, one of my favourites. The colour payoff is excellent, and I think it goes really well with MAC's Plushglass in Fulfilled and Big Baby.


I've found that this lipcolour works really nicely with neutrals, but particularly purples go really well with it - ranging from lilacs to a deep eggplant.


I only gave it 4/5 because it's not incredibly unique; you could probably find a dupe. Will definitely repurchase when I run out though, because I love the texture and I'm kinda lazy to find a dupe for this one :)

I really like the color payoff of this lipstick. If i want a more peachy look then I apply the lipstick by itself, great for the spring/summer look. When I want the nude lips look then I apply a more nude lip gloss over and I achieve the nice warm nude lips. I find that this lipstick doesn't make my teeth look yellow like other products I have tried.
