A vibrant reddish pink, and one of five lipsticks from the new MAC Strength collection.
One layer gives me smooth, full coverage that lasts from 6-7 hours.
What a bright, happy shade. 🙂

I LOVE it on you! But that bright color on fair skin? What do you think?
Karen says
Hi Jennifer,
YES! I think the contrast of a bright lip against fair skin looks amazing. It might be shocking at first if you’re not used to it, but I think it looks super cool, especially with thick cat eye liner.
Nicole Shrimpton says
I have very fair skin, and I’m wearing it as I type this. I think it looks great!
Teri says
It’s on my list! Like you said, if you love impassioned than you need this :p. I love how bright colours look on your skin tone, I think they are my favourite on you 🙂
Karen says
Hi Teri,
Thank you, you’re so sweet. I hope you like this color!
Icaria says
Such a pretty color but I’m not sure I could pull it off. It looks gorgeous on you!
Karen says
Aww, why not? I think you could do it. 🙂
CrystalCandy says
I love that colour, I wish the texture was slightly less dry though!
Karen says
I didn’t have too much trubs with the dryness. Have you tried prepping your lips first with balm? The new Mineralize ones are GREAT!
Angie R. says
I sometimes have the same issues, to which mineralize balms are you referring?
Jennifer L says
LOVE that color!
Karen says
Me too!
Sunny says
What a beauty! Once the weather becomes warmer I’ll be all over bright shades like this one!
Karen says
Why wait?
Ankita@corallista says
The color looks gorgeous! I haven’t tried Impassioned lipstick but I’m hooked to the gloss!
If you don’t mind me asking Karen, do you use a Macro lens for the close up shots, like the first pic here?
Karen says
Hi Ankita,
Try the lipstick some day. It’s amazing!
Marina says
This lipstick is exactly what a girl needs on a January day, looks fab on you!
Karen says
Thanks babe!
BTW, I watched the cheesiest movie last weekend…but I liked it! It’s called The Lucky One with Zac Efron. Have you seen it?
Stef Smith says
I have been looking for a bright pinky red lipstick and I think this might be the one! I’m a MAC virgin (gasp!) so this would be a fun way to remedy that! 🙂
Karen says
Stef!! I can’t believe you haven’t tried any MAC. If you can’t find this lipstick, try Impassioned. It’s fan-frickin-tastic.

Ooh! What a great shade — I love this bright, punchy pink on you, Karen 🙂
Karen says
Thanks, Rae. 🙂 Hope you’re having a great week so far!
Emi at Project Swatch says
I wish this was a permanent shade!
Karen says
That would be rad!
