Round-up: MAC Metallic Lips Collection
MAC Metallic Lips Collection
MAC Metallic Lips Collection is a set of 18 new, limited edition shades available in MAC’s new “Metallic” finish. To me, the finish was often a cross of a Lustre and Frost — glossier, more emollient like a Lustre but with more shimmer like a Frost, while the coverage was a marriage of the two–semi-sheer to medium, somewhat buildable. I think if MAC had marketed these purely for layering, they would have rated better, but they were advertised as “vibrant, intense” and having “rich colour.” Most of the shades were far from intense or rich in color, unfortunately!

Had an opportunity to play with a couple of these the other day while in Nordstrom’s. Jupiter is amazing! So is Digging For Gold! And just as I suspected, Metal Head over Diva or Heroine looks very “Me”! I’ve definitely fallen for the smokey lip trend of this past autumn/ winter, and MH looks good for that.?
Glad that my favorites did well! Do you think these would work well over matte lips?
I don’t see why not!
Disobedient really reminds me of a more tender Firebird… Cinderbird.
I’m sure there are some nice lipsticks in this group but I’m becoming increasingly ambivalent where MAC is concerned – likely a combination of fatigue from the sheer number of releases and poor ratings in key product categories. It’s like I only want to know when MAC hits a home run, like their Skinfinish blushes.
Christine, would you say that the lippies in the Star Trek collex are similar in formula to these?
Sort of – these seem a little more emollient!
Ah MAC – lots of promise and innovative ideas, but just short on delivery.
My favorites are Jupiter and Digging for Gold, maybe even Pale Rose too.
These look amazing in the tube, but not so great on the lips. 🙁 I’ll stick with my NYX Wicked Lippies, luckily I’ve saved myself some money! (Money that I will eventually spend on the Maybelline matte metallic lipsticks, hopefully, as I don’t think we’re getting those in the UK.)
