I always stayed away from plum lipsticks as I had a preconceived min set up for plum lipsticks to be too dark and bold for me to carry out! Well, Capricious proved me wrong!
I bought this lipstick from Priyo, a supershop in Dhaka, Bangladesh and paid 1750BDT for my Capricious.
Capricious belongs to the Lustre family of MAC Lipsticks which means it has a demi-sheer wet look finish and MAC describes it as "Fanciful Rose Plum".
For me it is a rosy plum and it has a very subtle gold shimmer to it, though I don't know if you will be able to detect the shimmer in the photos. The plum itself has a cool tone to it, but again the golden shimmer adds enough warmth to the color which makes it wearable for both cool and warm toned people.
Capricious, I believe is a very pretty plum shade which doesn't overwhelm the look. It isn't an as usual dark plum shade, but still adds a pop of color to my face without making it too dark. I absolutely love it as my go to shade and I have been wearing it a lot lately. Here are the swatches on my wrists, the left one was taken using camera flash, the right one is without camera flash :) I have also included a swatch on my lips :) :)
It has MAC's signature vanilla fragrance which helps me to bite my lips more than usual :/
The Lustre finish of this lipstick doesn't make me feel to be very moisturizing on my lips, but again, I have extremely dry lips. The color pay off is not as opaque as matte or amplified creme finish, its kind of semi opaque and I can see the pigmentation of my lips after I apply only one layer. To get a nearly opaque finish, I apply it twice or thrice at times.
Regarding the wear of lipstick, if I don't bite my lips a lot I get a wear of two to two and a half hours before it starts fading. The color is so subtle and light on my skin that it almost disappears once it starts fading. So I always have to reapply it after 2hours to keep it alive. But still, it doesn't annoy me or make it less favorite. I love it more than Cosmo and I always carry it in my purse these days.
If you are looking to add a hint of color to your face, you can grab Capricious without any doubt!
I absolutely adore the lipstick and am definitely going to repurchase as soon as I run out of my tube.
Did you use Capricious? Let me know your opinion!

Thanks for the lip swatch! Been looking for someone with pigmented lips to see how this would look.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Did you try MAC Prep+Prime Lip before you apply lipstick? I find it helping me with my pigmented lips, though the product doesn't claim anything to fight with the pigmentation of lips. But you get better wear of lipstick too, with MAC Prep+Prime Lip.
DeleteHope this helps!
Love and respect.
