I've owned Freckletone for quite a while now and whilst it might not be the most exciting shade, it's one of my favourites from MAC. I was wearing it in a recent FOTD (here) if you want to see what it looks like on the lips but it's essentially a nude shade.
I've tried a plethora of 'nude' lipsticks in the past and most of them have ended up languishing in my make up collection because they're too pale or they're too pink-toned, or both! Freckletone is a nude that I've reached for time and time again because it's just the right mixture of brown and peach. It's a really versatile shade for me; I'll happily wear it with smoky eyes, bright greens and more neutral shades.
I find that Lustre finishes from MAC seem to vary quite a bit in terms of pigmentation. I have a few which are pretty sheer and a bit drying and others which look and feel more like a Cremesheen. Freckletone is one of the more pigmented Lustres I have and I don't find it to be particularly drying on the lips. I like the glossy finish, even if I have to reapply my lipstick more often as a result. I'd say I get around three hours of wear without eating or drinking.
If you've been looking for the perfect nude lipstick and have a skin tone similar to mine (around NC30 in MAC terminology) I'd definitely recommend having a look at Freckletone.
You can purchase MAC lipsticks online (link), at counters and in stores for £14. Alternatively you could enter my giveaway and win one (here)!

On the whole I prefer MAC lipsticks to those from higher end brands so I think they're worth the money compared to a £23 Chanel lipstick. I do like Revlon lipsticks too which are around £8ish.xx
DeleteBeen thinking of getting this colour for a while but nude lipsticks never do me any justice, however, it looks great on you! :)

It's a nice nude though! Well, if you're quite warm toned. If you're more cool toned, try Blankety.xx
DeleteOooh that colour is lush, might have to get it now my Shy Girl has gone missing :'( xo
ReplyDeleteI prefer it to Shy Girl - it's a bit darker :) xx
DeleteKim K was wearing this on a Cosmo cover a while ago I've wanted it since but keep forgetting x
