- MAC Cremesheen BRAVE RED Lipstick. Condition is 'New with box'. Shipped with USPS First Class. Box is a bit tattered, was a display.
- Crosswires and Brave Red are cremesheen lipsticks of MAC permanent range. Cremesheen lipsticks glide easily on healthy lips and are quite hydrating. The color coverage is medium, not completely opaque in one shot and the texture is creamy. MAC lipsticks are scented. Crosswires is a coral which looks pinker on lips. I find it suitable for spring.
- MAC Brave Red Lipstick ($30.00 for TBA oz.) is described as a 'bright yellow red with a Cremesheen finish.' It's a medium, cherry red with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage that applied evenly. The consistency is lightly creamy, particularly once it softens against the warmth of the lips.

Crosswires and Brave Red are cremesheen lipsticks of MACpermanent range. Cremesheen lipsticks glide easily on healthy lips and arequite hydrating. The color coverage is medium, not completely opaque in oneshot and the texture is creamy. MAC lipsticks are scented.Crosswires is a coral which looks pinker on lips. I find itsuitable for spring and summer season when we wear light fabrics and brightcolors in daytime. This shade settles on fine lines but is a wearable coral byall skin tones.Brave Red is a scarlet red and imparts more opaque colorthan Crosswires. It completely justifies the cremesheen finish. Due to itsmedium intensity, it is an everyday red. For office you swipe directly on lipsand then diffuse the color with finger. For the evening party you wear it fullon. Somehow, this red is rarely discussed on blogs. While Crosswires is famous, Brave Red is underrated. Brave Red was my first MAC purchase and my first lipstick. A good memory.

Recommendation - Try Crosswires on a sunny day with white outfit. Brave Red is a great holiday color, grab it this winter for those endless parties.
