Formula Overview
$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "100% full coverage with a demi-matte finish and weightless feel." It's a silicone-heavy formulation, so it had glide without feeling wet or slippery on the lips. To me, it has more of a velvety feel that's featherweight, thin but not in a clingy, drying kind of way, and goes on without dragging.
The thinner nature of the formula combined with the more matte finish means that exfoliating prior to application is important for best results; this was more noticeable in Rainbow Spill (less forgiving) than Skyscraper Rose (which was more forgiving). They wore between five and six hours on me, left faint stains, and were non-drying to barely hydrating. They had no discernible scent or taste.

New Wave is really beautiful, but it’s not a shade I wear very often, and I already own several fuchsia lipsticks.
New Wave looks like a lovely magenta purple! I do have not only MAC SÃ, SÃ Me, but I also ordered Heroine the other day for MAC ‘s BOGO free Lipstick Day sale along with Relentlessly Red Retro Matte.
Hi Christine
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere on your site, I just couldn’t find it.
When you review a product, do you test it only on yourself, or on a variety of types?
Thanks, appreciate all the work that must go into maintaining this site!
It’s just me here, lol, so only myself! 🙂
I got New Wave and I’m a big fan. I have it in rotation with Skyscraper Rose. I love fuchsia and magenta colors. For some reason they’re never overwhelmingly bright on me, and my clothes are so basic that they never clash with anything I wear lol.
Oh boy I’m getting old or something! None of these new lipstick releases intrigue me. I’ve seen better from
MAC and Revlon. I think I got spoiled from Tom Fords Boys and Girls. Those, to me, were original and pretty. These and the MAC releases seem lazy.
It’s good to see vivid lipsticks making a comeback and New Wave looks to be quite a vibrant fuscia shade.
