Dare You
MAC Dare You Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and ruby red pearl. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied beautifully to the lips–smooth, even coverage that made lips appear softer and more supple. The texture was lightweight with light slip but still adhered well while being comfortable to wear over the five and a half hours it lasted for.

Lady Bug
MAC Lady Bug Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium red with warm, yellow undertones and a natural sheen. It had a Lustre finish, which is the brand’s sheerer coverage finish, so the semi-sheer to medium pigmentation was no surprise. The texture was thin with moderate slip (though it took a second to warm up and start to melt on the lips) that applied without tugging. It wore well for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

- Chanel Ultrarose (257) (LE, $37.00) is lighter (95% similar).
- Shiseido Toffee Apple (RD308) (P, $28.00) is brighter, warmer (90% similar).

Brave Red
MAC Brave Red Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark red with warm, yellow undertones and cream finish with very faint pearl. The consistency was lightly creamy with enough slip to give it a natural shine but it did not slide around while I wore it. It had semi-opaque color coverage that applied evenly and did not gather in my lip lines. This shade stayed on well for almost six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was lightly hydrating.
