Matte Lipstick - Velvet Teddy

Don't understand the hype of this one. On my NC35 olive skin it just looks blah

This is a boring not so great tooth yellowing light brown on me, but I wear with certain warm toned makeup looks. Nw20-30 but can fake tan into the nc40 range. Have a mini and would not repurchase. Do not understand the allure at all.

Velvet Teddy is hard lipstick to review because this is one of those shades that depending on your lip tone, undertone, etc, it can look drastically different from person to person. The ones that seem to love it get a soft MLBB shade. Not too warm, not too cool. Other people when they put it on it can look almost like cooler toned mauve, perhaps ashy. Now when I put it on with my deep winter …Read more

Not a fan of this AT ALL. I about a NC-35 but can range for NC 30 to NC40, very olive/gold undertones.

This lipstick looks muddy on me & seems to bring out my undereye shadows. I tried to like it and when topped with a pinky gloss it's tolerable. The texture is ok, not great not terrible. Much darker on than I expected.

My advise- try before you buy!

Okay listen, I know this crazy popular lipstick sees a huge hype around it but also some harsh harsh critics, and I agree it's definitely not the most universally flattering shade there is as people praise it to be but for me, I love it.

Like the reviewer just preceding me, I bought a mini size, I have a light neutral skin tone and this color was utterly blah on me. I think it’s probably lovely on people with more warmth in their skin, but the color, combined with the generally matte finish, just didn’t work.

I bought MAC Velvet Teddy in the mini size tube to try out and I’m glad that I didn’t waste my money on the full size lipstick. I have a cool, light skin tone ( NW22 ) and this color shade looks drab and unflattering on lips. If I mix it with a pink shade I might be able to wear it as a nude, but alone it drains all the color out if my face. I do like most of the MAC lipsticks I have but not …Read more

The color is intense. I expected it to be more mat and to stay longer on my lips. It is buttery and comfortable but for me it's not long wearing as it is claimed to be. If you don't eat, drink or smoke it will last longer, but you know... it's not possible :D

Great "my lips but better" colour, stays put throughout the day provided you don't eat or drink. A little drying, but to be expected with a matte formula. Still comfortable to wear, though. Very opaque.

The one stop nude for me. I must say I only bought it because of the trend however it is the best to wear on its own or as a combo with other lip products. It lasts until you eat - not the most long staying on power possessing lipstick.
