MAC Black Night Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “black with red and gold pearl [with a Cremesheen finish].” It’s a muted, gold and red-shimmered black with subtle, warm brown undertones and a soft shine. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, and it applied better than the majority of the black lipsticks MAC has released, but the Cremesheen finish definitely gave it a more emollient consistency. It does pull into lip lines slightly over the four hours it wears. Make Up For Ever Edgy Black (422) (P, $23.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). MAC Street Thing (LE, $19.00) is cooler (85% similar).

MAC Heavy Petting Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “burgundy [with a Cremesheen finish].” It’s a muted, medium-dark plummy red with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, but it could have applied better. The texture was lightweight, while the formula was neither drying nor hydrating and lasted for four hours. MAC Sweet Succulence (LE, $19.00) is cooler (95% similar). bareMinerals Queen (PiP, $20.00) is lighter (95% similar). Bite Beauty Plum (LE, $24.00) is darker (90% similar).

MAC Ring My Bell Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “pale cool neutral [with a Glaze finish].” It’s a light, muted beige with subtle, warm undertones and a champagne frost. It had semi-sheer color coverage with a noticeable amount of shimmer. The color pulled into lip lines over the three-hours it lasted on me. I could see it working better mixed or layered with another lipstick. Tom Ford Beauty Holden (DC, $36.00) is lighter (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Orlando (LE, $36.00) is warmer (90% similar). Sephora Take a Spin (41) (P, $8.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). MAC High Tea (P, $19.00) is less pigmented, warmer (90% similar).
