I am not in love with this lipstick but it looks nice on my lips. I like it but not love it it's just okay. It's really pretty. I've seen it on NC20 and it looked really terrible, but everyone's lips are different. I'm NC30 and it looked okay on me. Nothing special but try it out you might like it

I love the colour as an everyday peachy pink. The creamsheen formula doesnt sit nicely on my lips however. It settles into fine lines on and around my lips and even with a lip liner it still doesn't look as good as I'd like. However I still haven't managed to find another peach that I like as much so I still wear it quite frequently.

This is a gorgeous peachy, orange coral. This would look amazing on tan skins like mine. I get tons of compliments when I wear this. It's perfect to pair with a peachy or coral blush like peaches, Melba, Springsheen, style (which I use). I use ravishing, style blush, brown powder eyeliner and mascara for a fresh look and it always makes me look like I just had mind blowing sex!! Excuse the boldness I just had to get that out there. The only thing I wish is that it wasn't so sheer. I have pigmented lips so I have layer which just makes it kinda streaky and slide. Other than that, it's perfect!! To be honest I don't know if I'd buy again. I love this particular shade of coral but if I can find a dupe with a more opaque finish, then that's what I would go for!!

This is such a delicious color. It reminds me of a cream sicle. Smooth, creamy, pigmented. Feels lush on the lips. Great color. I'm very fair, and have problems wearing lip colors that are too light. This packs enough punch to not wash me out.

I loved this on the MUA in the store but didn't like it as much when I got home. It's an intense neon coral color and the creemsheen formula causes the product to settle into the lips in a unflattering way. I won't repurchase.

Love this lipstick! Very creamy, not drying. It's a pretty peachy/coral colour and looks great on tanned/olive/Indian skintones. Looks lovely paired with a smokey eye. Great alternative to a nude coloured lip, this has the perfect pop of colour without being too overwhelming. I got this lipstick this past fall but I'm so excited to try it out in the upcoming spring and summer months!

This is one of my first MAC lipsticks, and I bought it online so I wasn't able to swatch it prior to purchasing. I expected it to be really great but it was actually just mediocre for me. The shade is alright but I wish it isn't cremesheen..I guess this would be nicer (for me) if it was semi-matte. Overall, it's an okay lipstick.

My favorite lipstick ever!!!!! Perfect for everyday use. It's creamy, soft, and it smells like vanilla. The color is a perfect pinky coral. I used to use Shy Girl as my everyday lipstick, but I switched to this one because I like the pink undertones.

On my NC/W 20-ish skin, this is a clean, slightly pastel/milky peach-salmon-coral (no brown or grey tones - just a very clean, pure color). It's like the tamer, subdued older sister of Vegas Volt, on my lips anyway.


It's definitely a summer color, bright and cheerful, but demure enough (due to the lack of shimmer/a neon tone) to wear to the office. I wouldn't wear this to a job interview, it's a little too colorful for that, but for regular business casual days in the summer - it's very appropriate (may not be appropriate for very conservative offices). It makes otherwise boring/dull corporate-casual officewear more summery and is a good way to add a subtle pop of color on an otherwise neutral face.


For very casual occasions though (think: beach, sun dresses, days in the park), I prefer something less pigmented, more translucent, like MAC See Sheer (pinker, darker, maybe a smidgen more brown) or Korres Pomegranate (pinker, brighter) if I'm going for peach/coral.


It's a Cremesheen, so it's not too drying as far as MAC lipsticks go, and is more long lasting/opaque than the Lustres (semi-opaque to opaque vs. Lustres being semi-sheer to semi-opaque). Ravishing imparts a slight, moist sheen (hence the Creme"sheen" name) that looks less OTT than a gloss. 1 lippy off because the formula tends to settle into lip lines a bit, and clings to certain patches (I have to make sure lips are super smooth and exfoliated before reapplying).


It lasts a decent amount of time alone, and quite a long time when paired with a good liner (reapplied about 3 times over the course of 12 hours), the only exception being eating a big meal (I wipe it all off after I eat and reapply anyway, because having food and lipstick together on my lips freaks me out).


So far I am loving wearing this with MAC Subculture or Bobbi Brown Pale Pink Lip Pencils (this tones down the pigment of my naturally pink lips a bit so the color is truer), and this helps it prevent from bleeding/smearing in the summer heat too.


Lip Combo Suggestions:


Liners: MAC Summerfruit, Subculture, Sublime Culture; Bobbi Brown Pale Pink; NARS Jilted Love, Tonga, Rosebud


Glosses: MAC Richer, Lusher, Enchantress, Prrr, Lychee Luxe, Pink Lemonade, Entice; Bobbi Brown Tangerine; NARS Chihuahua, Giza, Sweet Revenge; Dior Coral Fantasy; Clinique Apricot, Guavagold


Possible Dupes: NARS Niagara (pinker, darker), MAC Razzledazzler (more nude, lighter, milkier, more peach), Fashion City (lighter, more glossy, possibly sheerer), Chanel La Ravissante (darker, more matte).

I recently bought "Ravishing," and love it!! It is a beautiful coral color that's not to over the top, and perfect for summer w/ my skintone (NC 35/37). I also bought the Plushglass in Big Kiss, and the ProLongwear lip pencil in Electra. These were all suggested to me by the MAC MUA, and they really are a beautiful combo.!

I got this for my Back 2 Mac lipstick & I love it! I am a lipgloss girl but this is my new favoritelip product. It is a mid tone, milky, peachy coral with little to no shimmer & is the perfect amount of opaqueness. Its really pretty on it's own, but I just bought the E.L.F. matte lip color in Coral (Target, $3) & use that as a lipliner/base & am loving that combo. Very wearable, perfect for spring/summer and brightens up my face :)

"It looks ORANGE but on the lips is a fabulous PEACH color..."
I encourage all olive toned, medium, and tan gals to try this color. Another underrated color lippie from MAC. The finish is a creamsheen, which lasts forever and is moisturizing. For the record - NC35-40 skin with brown eyes, and black hair. I tried MAC's "shy girl" but it seemed like such a muted color for a nude, peachy, or a combo of both colors. I tried this lippie and was hooked. It's a nice everyday, wearable color that can be a different shade other than wearing pink lipsticks. Please try this! :)

I love this color and I will always have this in my collection. I'm an NC35 in winter and C4 in summer in studio fix powder and this color look great on my lip. Ravishing is in creamsheen finished very moist on my lip.

This is the first time i ever buy a lipstick and its the first time i buy from a really good brand. I am absolutely in love with this lipstick it is a peachy/salmon look with a hint of glitter.It goes perfectly with my skin tone(warm/light beige) and it is perfect for spring. It is pretty long lasting especially since i pucker my lips a lot because i get bored in class. Overall it is a great product and i cant wait to try more lipsticks from mac.

Very nice soft-yet-bright coral. Kind of reminds me of the model Twiggy and mods and the 60s and 70s. It's unusual but flattering. I have to be in a certain mood to wear it, as it is more distinctive than versatile, but I do really enjoy putting it on when the mood strikes me.
