Lippie Review: MAC Candy Yum-Yum

Road tested Candy Yum-Yum, the matte pink lipstick MAC says dreams were made of. Actually in a Landy! The sun rays seeped all over, so we are getting a less bright pink that would be otherwise bubblegum pink under indoor lighting. Was complimented though, so I guess it’s a nice different pink, bordering on neon. It makes the skin tone register on the cooler side, but not in an ashy way. It’s super matte, a bit drying, but covers well and evenly. Did two coats for the photos.

We ate halo-halo in between, and the color was still intact. Dropped by a store with bright lights and mirrors, so I scrutinized the lips and the pink veil was still respectable. Candy Yum-Yum is now a permanent shade of MAC after hitting it high in the most desirable lipsticks a few seasons ago.

If you’re finding a possible dupe, saw a NYX Matte Sweet Pink. You can’t tell the difference, promise!
