Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

Cyndi definitely looks better on NC35. Gaga is alright, but it just looks too in your face for everyday wear. Especially the pinkiness of it can look a bit strange against Asian skintones.

Both. When it came out I purchased Cyndi and didn't even try Gaga, because I thought it would look odd on me. I ended up buying Gaga online last week and it arrived two days ago. I love it and only regret I didn't buy it sooner! It looks weird if I put too much though.

Still have to figure out which colour of Studio Fix Powder I should get so I can give a better reference of my skin colour... I have a Face and Body foundation in C3 and Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC35, but sometimes I think the F&B looks a bit dark to me, and the powder is definitely too dark right now (but in the summer it will look great I believe). NC30 perhaps?

EDIT: I went to the MAC store today and I am NC30 on Studio Fix Powder right now.

yep! you gotta try a darker lip pencil (Nightmoth) and i tried Pinkarat l/g with it. it worked very well! try it this way and it won't give you that Tyrone Biggum's Mouth! lol! NC45-NC50 for ref.

Cyndi is stunning, very wearable 'red' for me and my NC40 skin. Gaga made me look like an idiot!

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I'm a NC35 and have very pigmented lips. When I first saw Gaga, I thought there's no way I was going to wear that colour. My MA convinced me to try it because she thought it would look good on me. So I tried it on and it doesn't look bad at all on me! It's my most favourite lippie at the moment I like to wear it with Petite Indulgence Cremesheen Glass.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I think Cyndi would be more wearable for me.

I'm willing to try GaGa, but I already have the Viva Glam (Fergie) l/s...and that's about as cool pink as I want to go. Kuddos to those who can make it work.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I bought Cyndi today and I love it! I think it looks best paired with a red/dark red liner like Mahogany or Burgundy, and then topped with clear gloss. I got so many complements on it.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I have both, but prefer Cyndi. Gaga takes some effort with a good liner and gloss to tone down the 'ash' factor.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I purchased VG Gaga last week and it's beautiful. I tried it with Plum l/l and no gloss and promptly purchased it!

I am going to top it with some of the glosses I own but I really like this shade on its own.

I also want to try it with Chestnut or Cork liner for a brown effect.

I didn't like Cyndi on me at all. It was too drab, blah looking.

I am a C7/NC45/NC50 for reference.

Personally, I don't mind using different liners and glosses to jazz up a lipstick. To me, that's part of the fun of makeup.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I have both Gaga and Cyndi. Cyndi I can use right out of the tube. No liner no gloss. It's very very wearable for me. I'm MUFE 175 for reference. Now Gaga I picked up "just because". I've only recently found a combo to make this work for me. I use a light hand applying it. Vino l/l and a touch of Melt In Your Mouth Cremesheen glass makes this work for me.

That sounds really nice. I might have to try that.

Umm - I don't mean to be ignorant or dumb or anything but who is the woman in the picture with the huge pink lips and huge boobs in the white top? I have no idea who she is but she looks a hot mess.

Thx.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I recently bought Cyndi, mostly because I love Viva Glam. But I've actually fallen in love with it! I love bold reds and I usually hate lustres, but this is a creamy, smooth red that's appropriate for day looks or the office. Loooove it!

Gaga, however, looks like dozens of other pink lipsticks. I swatched it and just wasn't interested.

Re: Viva Glam Cyndi or Gaga?

I tried both of these when they came out but I ended up walking away with Gaga over Cyndi. Gaga is a lot to work with, you cant just wear it out the tube, but I have been wearing it a lot this summer and I love it more each time. I am NW45 and I paired it with nightmoth l/l and vino l/l to wear and I use a sheer pink gloss I got from sephora to comeplete the lip.
