MAC Feeling Fizzy Lipstick

Feeling Fizzy

MAC Feeling Fizzy Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good color payoff, though not quite opaque, that covered the lips somewhat evenly. The lipstick had some slip, was a little thicker than I expected, and had slight unevenness in places. As this color is more common, a lip liner is totally doable and would help the application a lot. While it was comfortable to wear and felt non-drying, it sunk into some of my lines over the four and a half hours it lasted.

Formula Overview

$19.00/0.1 oz. - $190.00 Per Ounce

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.

MAC Darling Clementine Lipstick

Darling Clementine

MAC Darling Clementine Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with warm, red undertones and a satin finish. It had excellent pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly. It had a soft, lightly creamy texture that glided across lips with ease and was comfortable to wear. It lasted for six hours, left a reddish stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating while worn. This is a repromote.

MAC Forbidden Sunrise Lipstick

Forbidden Sunrise

MAC Forbidden Sunrise Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with warm, yellow undertones and a satin finish. It had good pigmentation–not quite opaque, though!–with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that applied without tugging on my lips. There was a bit of color that settled into my lip lines, though the brightness of the color made it less noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade wore well for five hours and left a subtle, reddish stain behind. It felt non-drying to me. This is a repromote.
