This was my first ever mac lipstick, and I have always loved it. It's a mauve-pink with a hint of plum and it suits pretty much everyone. I have really pale skin but quite dark lips naturally (which makes the colour appear more plum), but it looks great on my friend with medium-brown skin and paler lips too. It also has a lovely creamy texture because it is an amplified finish. The colour is rich but really versatile- you can just wear it in the day, or wear it with a smokey eye to go out.

I LOVE Mac Craving. It's the most gorgeous medium pink colour that isn't too bold but not too light. It complements my NC10 extremely pale skin and it makes my blue eyes and blonde hair pop. The amplified finish is amazing and lasts for soo long. The lipstick also leaves a slight stain after which is really nice. I find that Craving doesn't bleed like a lot of other Mac lipsticks I have tried do (especially frosts).
I would definitely recommend to any pale skin people.

One of my very favourite lipsticks from MAC. Creamy, opaque, comfortable on the lip, and most importantly, a gorgeous colour. I'm not sure if I would automatically pick something up described as 'plum', but this is very pinky as well, so it's flattering and girly. I like this lipstick year round.

This is a truly beautiful plummy pink. It's not like a dark plum shade like rebel or something but its a pink with plum undertones. I would say this has somewhat cool undertones but its a shade that would still look good on warmer skin tones. I'm NC 30-35 and it's beautiful on my. It's an amplified cream formula which is one of my favourites because its super opaque and creamy with a sheen to it. I definitely recommend this lipstick to everyone. It's great for fall and winter but I can imagine it pulling your look together for a summer soirée! It'll also look wonderful for WOC any time of the year!

Bought it on a whim, didn't really pay much attention to it BUT NOW I LOVE ITTTT!!! I freaking love it! It's such a easy to wear sexy beautiful colour. It doesn't get much love, I don't get it. It's vampy but in a wearable way. Gorgeous.

One of my all time favorite MAC lipsticks. Hands down. I am very fair skinned, blonde hair, blue eyes. It really makes my eyes pop. I love the texture, the color, the fact that you can build it...nothing I don't like about Craving! HG List

Craving is a beautiful amplified mauve shade. I mauve were ever bold, Craving is just about as bold as mauve could get. It's creamy, opaque and long lasting on the lips. This is one of the few MAC Amplified colors that I can wear to the office. It complements my deep, warm skin tone (NC42, NARS Syracuse) very well. I recommend to anyone who wants a lipstick that is versatile, not too daring and not too safe either.

i can understand why mac products are the pros first port of call......amazing choice of true colours. Sadly they didnt work for me though as on my mature skin they were really drying. One time I got a slight allergic reaction akin to a temporary trout pout lasting a day..though some would say that would be a bonus, in a way it did look quite nice but.....the feeling of really dry lips has put me off purchasing again. The weather is cold and windy here and i NEED to feel moisturised

I recently purchased this lipstick. The saleslady at MAC chose this one for me-I love the colour-it is perfect for my skintone, which is both warm and cool (albeit a little more on the cool side). The texture is creamy and somewhat opaque and this lipstick does not dry out my lips. The colour stays on for a long time, too. I also like that this shade of lipstick is quite versatile, in that it can be worn for going out or for everyday. 5 lippies.

I love this color. It's pretty bold but not in a bad way. I apply it to my upper lip and then rub them together and it's perfect. I add a coat of curvaceous lipglass and the look is complete :) NC15/NW20

Stunning lipstick!! The colour is perfect, i sometimes apply it very lightly over a primer, and it leaves a gorgeous 'just bitten' stain, and sometimes heavier if i want a full splash of colour. The texture is creamy and seems to last ages on me. It's the perfect shade for me,i sometimes use it with Korres Lip Butter in Plum too which is a beautiful product and matches Craving really well. Highly reccomended.

my favorite berry lipstick as of now, you just need to dab it on and rub your lips around a bit and its perfect. not drying for me like my other mac lipsticks.

This was my first "must have" MAC lipstick and the one that got me hooked on the Amplified Creme formulation (I only wish there were more choices in that finish!). A lovely deep pinky berry colour with good staying power and it doesn't leave my lips feeling dried out. This and Plumful are lipsticks that I have in multiples (3 or 4 of each on the go at any one time). I'm NW20 and can vouch for this as the most flattering colour for cool-toned gals with dark hair and eyes! It gives the prettiest look to your whole face!

This is a exquisite. I tried doing the nude lip thing for years. I thought I was much too fair to wear a bright lipstick. I also tended to wear more eye makeup to play up my large, dark eyes. The funny thing is that when I wear this bright lippie, it makes me look healthy and alive in a way no nude lipstick ever could. Also, oddly enough, I think the contrast of my large dark eyes against my fair skin is better emphasized with a natural eye and a bright lipstick. Go figure!

The color on me is raspberry toned down a bit with a dose of plum. It is bright without being garish. The formula is not drying and it lasts a decent amount of time. I wear this day or night, usually when I'm wearing cool toned clothing.

Such a lovely color. This lipstick is an Amplified formula, it's amazingly pigmented and moisturizing. Cool toned berry pink that looks great on my very fair NC20 skin. I have brown hair and blue eyes for reference. I have a hard time pulling off sine reds this us the perfect deep blue toned pink. Looks dramatic and beautiful!
