i put up swatches of the gaga 2 lipstick with mac stripdown liner and nyx pinky liner in the swatches forum.
Hope it helps some of you. The lighting is a lil off but its pretty much close to how it looks on me.
thanks very much!

how would this shade look on very pigmented lips?
yeah i like grey too... just now on my lips! hhmmm this had made me paranoid about buying this! i have to buy blind of the mac site. i'm nc20 so not sure what will happen!I tried this on and it looked like paste on my lips (it pulled really gray on me for some reason) and I am pale lipped and pale faced. I am thinking it will need a peachy or yellow based pink lipgloss to make it work. And on folks with pigmented lips I am thinking this will look like silly putty. I hate to be a Debbie Downer especially since this is for a good cause, but I think it could look really funky--which is not what I am looking for in a nude lippy. Hey, I love gray as much as the next woman, but this is gonna look funny I think. Now, if it was a matte finish, this could work really good to "erase" the lip color so you can start with a neutral base like the erase paste stuff they used to have. IDK, but if I had dark lips, I would sure wanna see this IRL before I purchased it.
By the way, it swatched very brown/yellow toned on my hand and then it looked gray on my lips so go figure. So cool toned ladies worried about the brown factor, I don't think its a problem. I think it pulling gray is more of a problem, but I have to admit I am warm toned so I may not be the best to make the call on it. Perhaps it depends on whether you wear a lip liner than pulls either gray or brown. hmmmm
oh i have in synch liner so this is good! great pairing!Oh yes I am hun. Just like in my first swatches, I'm wearing In Synch liner below this. Sorry about not mentioning that. Without it it's a very beige nude.
I haven't gotten mine in the mail yet, but I talked with a mac online artist ...
She suggest for NC20 skintone to use "Stripdown" or "Subculture" lipliner.
ah lovely! thank you! i dont have those liners so perhaps if i struggle to make it work i will add them to my list!I haven't gotten mine in the mail yet, but I talked with a mac online artist ...

^ wow it looks really natural on you. Thats awesome that you dont have to wear any liner so that it can look good
i thought about chromagraphic but is it a permanent pro thing? i it ok for lips?^ Subculture or NC15-20 chromo pencil would work very well with Gaga 2.. imo
if you want it to look slightly pinkish use a pink gloss on top.. same with peaches...or more nudes.. ha
Thank youit looks so natural on u.. kays im excited for my lippie to come!

yup the chromo pencils were le.the chromo pencils were le I believe, but they were (don't know right now or later) on the website.. and yes they are totally safe for lips... rule of thumb: if you can wear it on your eyes, you can wear it on your lips.
subculture.. the swatch sucks.. but on me, it does pull kind of peachy.. that's why I suggested the blonde WnW eye brow pencil.. it works beautifully.
I think.. think.. again not confirmed but have seen that the colour Stone was being used, so it might be reissued as I have said before.. lots of reissues later on. IF Stone is repromoted, BUY it !! and then get 2 more.. that's what I am doing if it comes back.. I have like 6 of BBQ.... love those neutral light or mid tone beiges.
