This lipstick sits in my makeup drawer most of the time, except when I'm looking for something very glamourous. The color is a very bright fuschia-pink when applied straight from the tube, which I...

This dark mauvey pink is very flattering on my N3 complexion (dark blonde hair, blue eyes). It can be a bit intense straight from the tube, but applying it with a lipliner does wonders. For a...

At first I thought this lippie was too bright and it actually is when applied alone. However, I love it when I apply it under Varneesh Lip Lacquer. It creates the perfect, shiny pink pout. But it...

I have bought this lipstick twice now (bought it a few years ago, swapped it away, then bought it again, don't you hate that). I think it is time to officially give up on it. The shade looks so...

I love this- it's a mauvey pink that goes well w/ my LLL skin. This is three shades darker than my natural lips, and I can adjust the finish by diluting it w/ balm, adding gloss, etc. It looks...

I am a PPP with strongly pigmented lips. I love pink lipstick but it never seems to show on on my lips since my lips are very pink naturally. I tried this and love it! It actually shows up on my...

I tried this first in a holiday makeup lip palette. I bought the lipstick after using the palette. It is the perfect rose red. It is a little drying as is all MAC lipsticks to me. I put a little...

MAC Captive is a creamy-textured dark pink/plum lipstick. It's a vivid color that looks great with plum lipliner. Makes my teeth look really white. This is a flattering shade on my medium...

A creamy rose berry is a good description. I purchased this one when I was looking for some nude pink colors. The only reason I wouldn't repurchase is because I have so many in this color range,...

A beautiful berry shade that is actually perfect for my cool skin tone. Too bad it's extremely drying for me. It does work if I wear lip balm under it or gloss over it. OK if I am going out but who...

Captive is an intense berry-rose shade. I prefer to use this as a stain rather than a creamy lipstick, because I think it's prettier and wears better. I apply with fingertips and top with gloss....

Another one of my favorite and most worn lipsticks! It's a light to medium mauve on me. It can be worn alone and looks especially nice with various lipglosses or lipglasses on top too!

This is first MAC lipstick I ever bought--in fact, my first MAC purchase--over 4 years ago. This color just "captivated" me the first time I saw it. I have cool-toned PPP skin & Captive is the...

The funny thing about this lipstick shade is that it looks muted in the tube but goes on very bright! What you see is not exactly what you get indeed! This problem can be easily fixed by simply...

If you're looking for a creamier version of Stila's Natalie, you've found it in MAC's Captive lipstick. Captive is a wonderful mauve pink, that is the same shade as Stila's Natalie, but not...
