Strutting Fabulous

MAC Strutting Fabulous Mattene ($19.00 for 0.08 oz.) is described as "bright lavender." It's a medium, lavender purple with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation with a lightly creamy texture that didn't pull on the lips. The finish is definitely more matte, and when paired with the thinner texture, it isn't the most flattering when worn. It pulled into lip lines a little bit over the five hours it lasted. I wish it was a little smoother-looking once applied, because the color is hard to replicate. ColourPop Lemon Drop (LE, $6.50) is darker, cooler (90% similar).
