    Nice plummy/mauvy color. Looks great on fair skin tones, as it brings out that paleness and creates a beautiful contrast between skin and lips. It's a satin, so not entirely matte, just with a...

    Nice red berry color, darker than plumful and more classy than craving. Very heavy looking and reminds me of a goth look, perfect for club night life.

    This is a lovely reddish pink plum color. It's not as vibrant as a straight up red, and not as daring. It is a little drying, though. Pigmentation is excellent, and it wears for a long time.

    Well, of all lipsticks, plums are my favourite. I have "Plumful", too, so that's what I'm comparing this with. I found "Captive" to be quite drying - if you want a perfectly matte plum, this is...

    I got this on a whim for my back 2 mac containers, and wish I hadn't. It's not very flattering and reminds me of something an old lady would wear. MAC has many many way more exciting colors!

    This color is on the plum/ burgundy side. I actually tried this at a MAC counter after choosing three other neutral shades. I was looking for a darker shade that didn't scream bright red. Yes it...

    Captive is a very beautiful plummy/ berry like color. It is like a soft red on my lips. It's a satin, so it is very moisturizing and very pigmented on my darkly pigmented lips. This color makes my...

    A great color for a special occasion or a night out, this is a deep fuchsia red on me. Very pretty, but a bit overpowering for everyday wear. Though it's described as "semi-matte", I find it a bit...

    Captive isn't a bad color, but it is a bit basic. I like a little bit better when I can gloss it over or use it as a stain. I'm not using this color as much, so I doubt that I'll be...

    Captive is a dark mauve-pink, pretty much the same color on the lips as it is in the tube. It's not that bright (as other reviewers remarked,) but it's definitely not soft or dull (MAC Craving is a...
