MAC Twig: Dusty Rose-Nude Satin
Twig is MAC's dusty rose-nude in Satin — more comfortable than a dry matte, less contour than Whirl, less peach than Velvet Teddy. If Teddy looks orange and Whirl looks like brown liner, Twig is the middle. Confirm in daylight; satin sheers warmer than it looks in the bullet.
MAC Twig
Dusty rose-nude. Satin, everyday, fair-to-medium.
MAC Whirl
Cool dirty rose-brown matte. Deeper, more 90s definition.
