If there’s one thing we love, it’s a pinky-nude lipstick that’ll work with our skin tones, no matter how we apply it. With makeup, it’s all about application. You can blot it on, stipple it on, layer it, or put it on as is, but we found a lipstick that works no matter how you put it on. Not only that, but shoppers say it’s a dead ringer for one of MAC’s most popular shades.
NYX Soft Matte Lipstick in Cannes is a lightweight, vibrant, and transfer-proof lipstick that shoppers can’t get enough of. Both long-lasting and creamy, this lippie is not only a must for a “your lips but better” look, but for those who love MAC’s Velvet Teddy.
MAC’s Velvet Teddy is one of MAC’s bestsellers once upon a time, with people loving the slightly pink, warm-toned nude. Lil history lesson about the shade: it was made in 2004, and rose to popularity when Kylie Jenner wore it often.
In the past couple of years, many saw there were new variations of it, but the original was still intact. And while some may think it’s discontinued, it’s still on the MAC website, but now, fans have found a lookalike!
Don’t believe us? See what shoppers are saying! “The color is very similar to the MAC Velvet Teddy!!!! Even almost identical. Makes the lips a little dry but really lasts all day,” one shopper said. “Great colour for everyday wear.”
Another shopper added, “I love this brand of lippy Its a must have for me and I don’t go anywhere without it. The shade Cannes is also beautiful and you can apply little for a subtle look or a few layers for a more intense look… Always use to buy MAC but now I have been converted truly.”
A third shopper said, “It is REALLY hard to smudge it with your finger, it’s long lasting even after you eat or drink water.”
