Love this color! I was in search of a nude shade for the Spring and Summer. I'm NW47, African-American (Dark Skin), who needed a lot of coaxing from the sales rep (pushy young lady) just to try and test this color. And, she was completely right! It's a soft peachy nude shade with a slight hint of brown. And, if you need a liner try 80% Cremestick Liner by MAC.

Plan on buying 3 more just in case it's discontinued.

I got Freckletone after the MUA recommended it for me. I initially didn't like the look of it in the tube, it looks like a pale peachy colour. But on my pigmented lips, I really like it! It's a mix of peachy/pink/nude. For me it's a lovely natural nude colour, but doesn't wash me out like Creme D Nude. I love the Lustre formular, yes you do have to reapply lots but I'm a fan of no fuss lippie, I can apply this without even looking in a mirror. I like to pair this lipstick with a bronzey blush such as Love Joy. For reference I am NC30 x

I wasn't sure how this would look on me since I'm a cool toned, fair NW15. I thought it might look too orange but I went ahead and ordered it. On my lips it's a perfect peachy nude, not too light or dark. It's sheer but buildable and very moisturizing. It lasted maybe 4 hours before I had to reapply.

If you found Myth or Creme d'Nude too light and found Peachstock too opaque, you should try Freckletone. It's main color is peach, with brownish undertones. On lighter complexions, it may come off orange. But it's a sheer glossy color - like a cross between lipstick and lip gloss. Enough color to make a difference but not opaque. Perfect nude for those in the NW25-NW35 or NC30-NC40 range, IMO. Definitely a good choice to play it safe if you're unsure about other nude shades.

I picked up this lipstick on the off chance because I go crazy at the mac counter and buy lots. I ended up loving this lipstick, it is now my go to! The shade is perfect for day time at work, it really goes nicely with a peach blush. The texture is also beautifully creamy. Thumbs up!!

I have had the hardest time finding my perfect lippie shade. I love my nudes/neutrals more then anything. It just goes with me. I am med./olive skin toned with subtle yellow undertones. I've bought just about every nude shade mac has to offer, and drugstore brands too. I came across this lil guy when I was at MAC and swatched it and basically melted. THIS is what Ive been searching for. Ive discovered throughout my search that peachy undertones are the most flattering on olive/med skin tones for a nude lip. and this is just that! Ladies if your in the market for a new neutral this is it. I wouldn't know how it would look on lighter/fair/cool tones because I feel it would not be flattering, but for the warmer olive tones this is for you! Plus the lustre finish is amazing, it stays on forever, with a glossy healthy finish. LOVE!

I have been looking for Malt which I now know IS NO MORE.....booo. Anyway, as part of my search for a new favourite, I tried Freckletone. It is great for a nude lip. It's creamy and long lasting and is my new go-to.

i've always been a huge fan of MAC Hug Me. it's my fave pink nude or neutral lippie for my skintone. i'm NC 30-35, a light tan color, dark brown eyes and hair. but i started looking for a more peach hued nude or neutral color. and i know freckletone would do well for that. as i swatched it in store, it looks dull on my hand. on the lips, it's a different story. my lips are quite a dull color (pale pink mauve) despite my warm color and freckletone made my lips look like a healthy peach color with hints of pink like those colors in ads. i use this often as it easily balances out heavy eye makeup or natural look. :)


color: warm light neutral peach with hints of brown


formula: lustre. so it's sheer and glossy. a fave formula of mine.


lasting power: not bad if it's judged based on the sheer formula.


would i buy again? yeahh. the color compliments me very well.

I bought this lipstick in the winter when i was about NC30-35. I didn't try it on first (dumb move LOL), didn't really like it on me it was a brown orange colour that just looked weird on my complextion. I decided to keep it anyways and glad that I did. This lipstick looks wonderful on tanned skin. I'm about NC40 or maybe a tad bit darker right now and it looks amazing it is now my go to nude for the summer time. The texture is nice and creamy. Will buy again.

I am in the process of revisiting Mac's permanent line, I am so over the limited edition craze...and found this gem. my lips are pigmented and this is the exact same color of my facial skin. I dont need lipliner to work this baby. Just slap on and go. I am giorgio armani luminous silk foundation 10. I havent been matched correctly by any mac foundation, so this is the best reference lol. Love that it is moisturising too!

a little too orange for my likeing. My lips are pretty pigmented so it looks a little odd. Hopefully during the summer when i'm a little bit more tan this color can be more useful.
I'm a NW25

As a WOC it's been tough perfecting my nude lip. Most colors make me look ashy, gray or washed out. I currently use Fresh Brew paired with Spite lipglass and that has been working great but I wanted to try a new color and see if I could get the same great results. Enter Freckletone. A pretty decent peachy nude but it does require me to use Lip Erase for my pigmented lips. Paired it with Chestnut liner to help tone down some of the yellow and Revealing lipglass and it gives a nice warm nude lip. This one is a keeper.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Great lip color! Perfect for a "Bardot" makeup look. The scent is nice too - a sweet, vanilla-y scent. Little to no taste. Based on the reviews here, I would say if you have lighter NW coloring (I'm NW 20) or darker NC coloring (NC 35 or deeper), this might work for you. But try before you buy! I use it with Chanel papaya lipliner (discontinued but it's an orangey, nudey color) and a lip brush swipe of J Crew's lipstick (a bright orangey red) to create the perfect pale coral, peachy nude. It's beautiful on its own too but I like it with just a bit more color. My new favorite lipstick!
EDIT: I'm changing this to won't repurchase because I'm switching to natural lipsticks. Everything I said about this still holds true though!

This is the only MAC Lipstick I own, just because I don't really wear lipstick. I reallyyyy wanted a nude lipstick though, so I thought MAC would be a good place to start. I have warm med darkish yellow tones, and I find that a lot of lipsticks I try wash me out but I loveeee this lipstick! I want moar. I have very pigmented lips and this is kind of sheer on me, but with some nudey lip liner, it looks beautiful! My new fav!

IMO Every NC40 girl should have this particular shade in her stash. That said, it does need some help in making it really look special. I use a slightly darker lip liner with this) MAC Cork is ok, there is a charcoal brown by Lord & Berry that is better). If I do not do this step first, it just looks too plain. So I need to work a little harder to get a sophisticated nude lip because with my skin shade (half gold, half beige) is pretty much the same shade as Freckletone, once applied. This with a little pop of Instant Gold (MAC) makes a perfect nude lip. I hereby deem this shade..."The Lip Maker". :>)

I swatched this on a whim because I was looking for a nude l/s that wouldn't make me look washed out. From the tube, it looked a little too yellow-orangey but on my lips it was perfect! Nude but gives my lips a little life.

Happy with my purchase! NC42 for reference

I have medium-light skin with golden undertones and I feel peach colored lipsticks suit my complexion the best. Freckletone looks kind of dark in the tube but when swatched or worn it is a nice peachy nude. What I do is I dab on a little Mac pale lip erase then line my lips with Mac summerfruit cremeliner and then I add Freckletone on top. it gives me the perfect peachy nude lip! It is a lustre so it isn't as pigmented as an amplified which is why i use lipliner first...and I used the lip erase because my lips are VERY pigmented. Overall I love this lipstick soo much I'm on my 3rd tube! If you're looking for a warm peachy nude I'd highly recommend this one!

Never did I think I'd love this lipstick so much! It looks dark in the tube but it goes on peachy and I am FOREVER on the hunt for a peachy nude. I have really red pigmented lips so what I do is dab on a little bit of MAC Lip Erase in Pale, line & fill in my lips with MAC Summerfruit creme liner then put Freckletone on top. This has to be one of my favorite lip combs and it took me forever to discover it! I am NC25-30 if this helps anyone at all. Alone, I can't wear this because my lips are so red, NO lipstick looks good on me without lip erase. these are 3 holy grail lip products I will never live without! ;) if u get the chance please please try this lipstick + lipliner!

My favourite peachy nude lippie. I am NC30 now, very pigmented lips, but this lippie is pigmented enough to totally cover my natural lip color, and give it a brighter peachy color without looking too dead. The formula is also very creamy, and gives my lips just the right amount of shine + moisture.
