Early Peek: MAC "Force of Love" from the Chenman Love and Water Collection (Swatches and Review)

There is one must-have from the MAC Chenman Love and Water collection.

The limited edition Force of Love Matte Lipstick.

Lip swatch: MAC Force of Love Matte Lipstick

This is an unapologetic shade of fluorescent coral-pink that I think would likely look good on most skin tones although slightly different depending on your undertones. It's actually quite similar to MAC Viva Glam Nicki, which is out at the same time, but Nicki is a little more yellow, and Force of Love has more red/pink, which is likely to be more flattering for more people.

MAC Force of Love worn with strong pink blush and Tan pigment on the lids.

I only got one other item from the collection; Naval Blue pigment, but the Mineralize shadows are really pretty too, ESPECIALLY Love Cycle, a beautiful blue, but I decided to be more practical. Naval Blue is a little duskier than Love Cycle, so I figured I'd get more use out of it.

One bad point to note about Force of Love is that this is similar to the newer Mattes from MAC (this is more slippery and waxy), which means you can't layer it on thick like you can with the old-school mattes (Russian Red, Diva, etc.) because it will start to shift and look uneven and patchy.
