MAC Burnished Beige & On a Petal-Still Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Burnished Beige
MAC Burnished Beige Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a light-medium, yellowed peach with muted, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied evenly and comfortably across my lips. The texture was lightly creamy, slightly stiffer in the tube but not to the point where it was uncomfortable to apply.
There was a bit of product that settled into my deeper lip lines that was visible in the close-up photo but not in person. It lasted nicely for four hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying.
Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying.
The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Burnished Beige
LELimited Edition. $19.00.
On a Petal-Still
MAC On a Petal-Still Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a soft, peachy coral with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which applied evenly to my lips but settled slightly into my deeper lip lines and wasn’t the most forgiving lipstick to wear as it caught on texture a bit. The texture was lightweight, lightly creamy, and comfortable to wear. It wore well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

On A Petal-Still is a lovely fall coral, as it leans warmer and isn’t neon. I really do like this one!
On A Petal-Stil is a pretty peachy coral shade, but Burnished Beige would look awful on me.
Burnished Beige caught my eye in the promos, but man that’s a lotta white in that base color! Maybe too much for me to pull off. I’m hoping to have a dupe in my collection. Even though the packaging is so beautiful for this collection I hate not picking anything up!
