This is a great video. I love seeing the shades on different skin tones. Great job ladies!!

[@00sparkleandshiiine]

Actually useful video with no obnoxious music or unrealistic lighting. Thank you for this!

[@iseemelanie]

+00sparkleandshiiine LOL thanks for watching!

[@higherpower918]

I vote all the matte lipsticks and living legend shade on the darker complexion. Both girls are beautiful

[@sinistralwing]

I never stopped a swatch video one product in just to comment before but I HAD to because I love the way y'all did this. It is so informative! I'm a nc45 girl myself and y'all know the struggle is real trying to find swatches on medium brown and dark skin tones. Thank you so much and I definitely am looking forward to more videos. :)

[@iseemelanie]

sinistralwing aww, thank you so much for that comment, it means a lot!!

[@sheynasishitharen2070]

Thank you soo much!! This really helped! I wanna get Cherish, Ruby Woo, Heroine and Living legend!!! 😍😍😍

[@iseemelanie]

Sheyna Sishitharen thanks for watching! Those are all fabulous colours, especially Ruby Woo and Heroine!

[@AshleyTheGleek3]

That was very helpful! I'll be heading over to Mac real soon 😁

[@iseemelanie]

+Ashley Parker glad to be of help!

[@TheAnonyy]

Really nice colours

[@TheVee561]

Some of these colors I never even thought of for me! But I really enjoyed this video!

[@iseemelanie]

Vee Lou I'm glad I was able to spotlight them for you! Thanks so much for watching! Oooh and I'll have another Mac lipstick video uploaded in the next 48 hours, so make sure you come back to my channel to check it out!!

[@TheVee561]

Sure will!

[@EbonyGirlSpeaks]

truly all the shades look beautiful on both of you. this was such a great video showing how it looks on both of you. where oh where did your sister get those frames? I love them tfs your video!

[@iseemelanie]

EbonyGirlSpeaks Beauty Naturally® thank you! Her glasses are nice, eh? I want a pair! The glasses are called Anika and she got them from EyeBuyDirect.com

[@ekapomte2305]

J'aime beaucoup! Super idée d'essayer en même temps sur des peaux caramel et chocolat. I love your video. Good idea try at the same time on caramel and chocolate skins.

[@gracefullily45]

Thanks for doing this video! I am also NW 45 at MAC so I was taking note of all of the colors that I liked on your skin tone to try out for myself 😊. A few of my favs were the cherish, ruby woo and heroine. You and your sister did a great job. Have a wonderful day!

[@iseemelanie]

Graceful Lily awww, thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad we were able to help you out. Ruby Woo and Heroine are my all-time favourites!

[@missmissy2668]

Ruby Woo just looks great on anyone. It is great. You ladies are very beautiful. Thank you for the video

[@iseemelanie]

Misha Jones I agree, Ruby Woo is fabulous! And thank you for the compliment!

[@1agelessbeauty]

LOVE! love, love!!! your tutoria. So many pretty shades to choose from. I'm going to have a hard time . Thanks for sharing.

[@iseemelanie]

+B Loveable aawww I'm glad you liked it! I'm very glad to help. If you're planning on going to the Mac store very soon, you should also check out Evening Rendezvous. I bought it a few days ago. It's part of a limited edition, so it won't be around for long. It's kind of like Heroine, the purple one, but a bit less electric and more of a reddish purple, great for the fall and winter!

[@BecauseSibadala]

Such a great video ladies.... My MAC foundation colour is NC46, which is similar to NC45... So this video was incredibly helpful for me.... I've had the DIVA lipstick before and loved it, will but it again... Definitely gonna try Ruby Woo

[@TBur0612]

I wear the NW45 foundations as well. I agreed with most of the color favorites that you liked. Thanks for giving me some lipstick suggestions for my next trip to the MAC store. :)

[@iseemelanie]

+Tonia Burris glad to be of help!

[@emmasturgeon7748]

Great review ladies!!!! Can't wait to see more videos with the 2 of you!

[@iseemelanie]

Aww, thanks Emma Sturgeon!

[@staceycato5859]

I have Cherish and only used it once because it just never looked right on me. I'm a makeup newbie and am just now putting together that a lip liner will actually now help me. Thanks! PS, I'm getting Heroine!👍

[@iseemelanie]

Stacey Cato I'm glad we were of help. I'm a bit of a lipstick newbie too, my sister knows waay more than me about this stuff, plus she literally has over 100 lipsticks! Heroine is such a pretty colour, it's fabulous for the summertime too! Thanks for watching!

[@Ebo291]

I absolutely love your videos. Thanks to the both of you for doing these videos.

[@iseemelanie]

Ebo291 aww thanks, that means a lot!

[@ceelojayy]

Whirl is also a great pinkish nude color! I am around a NW40

[@iseemelanie]

***** yeah, Whirl is my favourite nude from Mac!

[@michelleludwig6939]

I personally think that light nudes do not look good at all on darker skin tones be it warm or cool.

[@iseemelanie]

It's a good thing no one asked you for your opinion.

[@PassportBrosAndBlondeManWeaves]

+I See Melanie lol I heard that

[@soniagotay6923]

I use to feel the same as you about nude colors, but you have to find the right color for you and always use a lipliner with them. I use velvet teddy from Mac it has a rose color, the best nudes for me I find they have orange and corals.

[@richallecangas1023]

this really help thank you! I really like the Cherish, Fast Play, Ruby Woo

[@iseemelanie]

Yeah, Herione is one of my faves!

[@richallecangas1023]

i like it too! i never thought purple would suit with black girl

[@Nitya-r86]

The girl on the right is totally rocking corals, Purples and deep browns. She is so beautiful! Those types of shades will look utterly horrible on my yellowish skin tone. I so want to wear those bold purple shades but they wash me out like crazy!

[@iseemelanie]

Aww thank you! It's really all about finding the right shade for your skin tone. My sister is better at giving makeup advice than me, but I'd say that if you have yellowish undertones, perhaps you can try shades that are a bit cooler? That might help balance things out. So many of the Mac lipsticks shades are in the same colour family, but slightly different in some regard (some are more cool, more warm, more reddish, etc) so there is likely shades of corals, purples and browns out there that would work perfectly for your skin tone.

[@icanseeyou688]

number 8 was my favourite on both of you

[@thuyvungoc1404]

You guys look great with bright vivid color :)

[@iseemelanie]

Thúy Vũ Ngọc Thank you! The vivid shades are my favourite!

[@kempdeja]

This helped me a lot I been looking for lipstick

[@iseemelanie]

+Mayome Lynn I'm glad we were able to help!

[@richallecangas1023]

i like claire's voice.

[@iseemelanie]

I'll pass the compliment on to her. Thanks for watching!

[@shamekalh]

I loved fast play, ravishing and verve

[@sparkles1260]

This was a great video - straight to the point and you ladies have a natural beauty and I love all the shades but will personally stay away from the light nudes (I'm scared lol) but the other colours, I may look into purchasing!

[@kimisilv]

This was so stinking AWESOME! Thank you so much 💜

[@iseemelanie]

kimisilv Glad you liked it, and you're welcome!

[@muuhwi]

This video was very helpful. I'll definitely a few of ur recommendations 👍🏾

[@shisley4]

Very nice and thanks for sharing. Love the eye wear.

[@iseemelanie]

Honey Isweet I know, I need to get myself a pair of those glasses! Thanks for watching!

[@niatoussaint1221]

Lovely colors on both of you.

[@iseemelanie]

Nia Toussaint thank you!

[@YouTuberOnlineNow]

living legend is no longer sold! what color would be similar??

[@ChaseYoungsgirl]

I'd never even heard of Verve or Film Noir before, I'm gonna have to pick those up next time I'm at the mall.

[@iseemelanie]

Chuck Don't Dance yeah, I hadn't heard of them before we shot this video too! I like them!

[@BoobooThaFooI]

Thank you so much for this ladies! I paused the video to order heroine and ended up ordering instigator a well lol! Is heroine a fall color in you alls opinion? Also, did you say that you're sisters?

[@iseemelanie]

+Bideo Celebra' ooh Instigator is really pretty! I just googled it, I hadn't seen it before! I think that Heroine can work well in the fall as well, I plan on wearing it year round. Yeah, we're sisters ... she's older! LOL only by a year and a half, but I like rubbing that in her face! Thanks for watching!

[@BoobooThaFooI]

I See Melanie Thanks

[@anointedtoserve]

I really enjoyed you ladies.. Black is indeed beautiful.

[@Columbusohio78]

Love the video. I'm trying to get in to color lipstick. Ok so for the color lipsticks like ruby woo, fast play, Danny glamorous and heroine what lipliners would y'all use. I'm thinking about buying them next week

[@iseemelanie]

Columbusohio78 I'm glad you liked the video! For Damn Glamorous and Ruby Woo, I actually use the NYX pencil called Hot Red. For Heroine, I use NYX's Bloom, and sometimes I use that for Fast Play too. I think my sister uses Mac's Cherry liner for the reds. And I heard that Mac just came out with a liner for Heroine and Ruby Woo that are exactly the same as the lipsticks. Hope that helps!

[@Columbusohio78]

Yes thank u for replying back.

[@Columbusohio78]

Yes they did come out with a lipliner for heroine I saw it. I'm starting to get into color lipsticks now.

[@jheneeevans7360]

Vivi Iku thank you!

[@Cherrylove570]

+cherry9951 aww thanks. Yeah sisters are great!

[@cynthiamcdaniel5588]

thanks ladies, hate to waste money. great selections. thank you

[@iseemelanie]

+cynthia mcdaniel yeah, the lipsticks are a bit on the pricey side, so it's best to see how it looks like before purchasing.

[@Warchild-007]

I LOOOOVE the glasses!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me who are they by and the style number, need to buy new frames for 2017 and a new look.

[@iseemelanie]

Hey hey! They are called Anika and she got them from Eye Buy Direct online. I've been meaning to pick a pair for myself as well. Thanks for the reminder!

[@slimazcoke327]

[@LivingMyHighLife]

Your sister reminds me of Gabrielle Union. You're both so gorgeous!!

[@connieb.4071]

Do you know a lipstick brand called Connie Transform , I'm such a fan. I was inspired to make a video on it , check it out.

[@rb7007]

Really helpful video, thanks girls! Btw, where are you from....USA/Canada? I love your accents! I'm from the UK, so i don't have a clue. Lol

[@iseemelanie]

Aww thank you! We're from Canada, Toronto specially!

[@prajapatibhagavati457]

my syam skin ;ple tell me which is listip good for my lip

[@PassportBrosAndBlondeManWeaves]

thanks for the video helped a lot

[@limibi215]

Well done guys🤗

[@iseemelanie]

Thank you!!

[@steemdup]

Why does MAC have so many finishes? Ugh! Are you ladies Canadian? Love the glasses!

[@iseemelanie]

I know! I wish they had every shade in every finish ... even though I'd just buy the matte ones. Yep, we are from Toronto. I want a pair of glasses like my sister's too. I'll pass along the compliment. Thanks for watching!

[@steemdup]

Hi Melanie! Thanks for replying. There's a MAC store near my office so I plan to check it out soon.

[@Always_Leveling_Up]

film noire looks like antique velvet

[@TheBeefycarpet]

Thank you so much for comparing nc and nw skin tones. I have an nc skin tone and change my make up accordingly. Most dark skin make up reviews are for nw skin tones. Excellent video, good content and well presented. Please don't rub your lips together when you apply make up. It's a terrible habit and ruins the texture of your lipstick. When I use ruby woo I tend to use nipple cream called bepanthan to moisturize. It's a secret makeup artists swear by. Keep it up, some good stuff.

[@iseemelanie]

Wow, I'd never heard of bepanthan before! Thanks for the tip!

[@back2backbasicsachristianp106]

I took a leap a few months ago and got 2 lipsticks from Mac Heroine(Purple) and Ruby Woo I love them both.I don't make a habit of purchasing lipsticks at that price but I like the 2 I have. Thanks for the video I'd love it if you checked out my new channel and subbed if you like.Good day!

[@iseemelanie]

Back2BackBasics: A Christian Perspective Ruby Woo was my first favourite and now Heroine is my new summer shade! I know, Mac lipsticks are so good they make me forget how pricey they are! Thanks for watching and I'll definitely check out your channel!!

[@clairelangevine927]

Thanks Emma! I think a collar is in our future :) xo

[@NoOne-hl9yr]

Dark skin women should wear any lipstick color they want ☺️

[@iseemelanie]

Of course. That goes without saying.

[@NoOne-hl9yr]

I See Melanie Yes ❣️

[@rainthesimmer663]

I just got film noir yesterday lol it's just the price is getting higher

[@iseemelanie]

+rain. dash Oh really? I hope not by too much!

[@rainthesimmer663]

It's just a dollar more.. its not too bad

[@girl600show7]

Victoriana

[@faithlover123]

Informative

[@iseemelanie]

Thanks Aubrey Olivia! It was my sister's idea to do it this way, I think it turned out well!

[@hove785]

Very helpful tk u ladies

[@trumellsago9815]

Loved it

[@yasmeilytoledo7787]

helpful so helpful!!!

[@clairelangevine927]

I meant to say a collab, lol. Autotype1

[@morgansimon6422]

I'm surprised her sister is NC45 because I'm a few shades lighter then her. MAC matched her wrong.

[@iseemelanie]

Morgan Simon are you NC45? I always thought my sister was NC40, but she told me I was wrong!

[@misssophisticated1698]

I See Melanie NC 40 is for very fair light skin black people. I am a NW 35, I was improperly matched to NC 42. That is my highlight/concealer color.

[@iseemelanie]

You're right, I meant to say NC43

[@misssophisticated1698]

I See Melanie Okay that's a lot closer just really yellow.

[@morgansimon6422]

+I See Melanie Yes I am. I would say I'm around Kyla Pratt's color.

[@nicolerose-alleyne897]

Film Noir

[@zo6052]

❤️

[@michelleludwig6939]

eeew why are you sharing the same lipstick like that? That is not recommended even if you are family.

[@iseemelanie]

I don't really see how that is your concern, Michelle.

[@poonamharit6056]

👌👌👍👍

[@Perfumedmemoirs]

Nooooo! You're not black! You're bronze and gorgeous! Don't let me catch you say that again. 😘

[@MonaMona-fy5wk]

Shanika Fernando That's what they identify as. You have no right to correct no one with their identity. They're black. Black isn't a curse word. Grow up.

[@munanagarkoti6734]

u r no more black...

[@Glo4u123]

You can't stand that child was unnecessary in my view, don't mention her and you won't have to include that in your information. No one cares, lets stick to the lipstick opinion. You sound like a hater.

[@iseemelanie]

I do not have the time, energy or desire to hate Kylie Jenner. If you're offended by my comment, feel free to block me on KZbin.

[@Glo4u123]

Then don't waste your time or energy incorporating your feelings about someone when you are giving informative information on a product. I am not a subscriber so I don't need to block you, I was just browsing like so many of us do. Stay professional.

[@iseemelanie]

+Glo4u123 my question is why are you taking a cheeky comment so seriously? You realize this is my channel and I can say what I want, right?
