Como La Flor

MAC Como La Flor Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "muted cherry red [with an Amplified finish]." It's a brighter, medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and a fine dusting of ruby red micro-shimmer paired with a soft sheen. It had a thinner consistency than most Amplified finish lipsticks, and it wasn't quite as opaque (it was mostly opaque, but you could see my lip freckle come through). The lipstick was easy to apply and distributed color evenly on the lips without tugging. It wore well for over six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.
