MAC Babes and Balls Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep burgundy [with a Matte finish].” It’s a deep berry-plum with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips with even color. The texture was lightly creamy, which made it glide on without tugging on the lips, but it didn’t slide around or feather on me while worn. This shade was still going strong after six hours, and it was neither drying nor hydrating over that period of time. Make Up For Ever M501 (DC, $22.00) is darker (95% similar).

MAC Perfect Score Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep red [with a Matte finish].” It’s a medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation was fantastic and covered lips with opaque color in a single pass. It had a velvety consistency that applied easily and didn’t tug on the lips. This shade was still fully intact after six hours of wear, but it started to feel drying after the fifth hour. Dior Splendor (950) (LE, $38.00) is lighter, brighter (95% similar).

MAC Bowl Me Over Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep burnt brown [with a Retro Matte finish].” It’s a muted, medium-dark burgundy with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage, though it was not fully opaque, that applied evenly. The consistency felt lightweight, velvety, and was thin overall. It’s more like modern Retro Mattes and less like past Retro Mattes that would drag, tug, and pull painfully. On me, the color lasted for a solid six and a half hours and could easily be worn longer. It was lightly drying after four hours of wear. Shiseido Curious Cassis (RD620) (DC, $28.00) is brighter (90% similar). Maybelline Burgundy Blush (P, $7.99) is warmer (90% similar).

MAC Liquid Lurex Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “tarnished gold [with a Dazzle finish].” It’s a dirty gold base with multi-colored glitter–primarily pewter, gold, and pink. It had semi-sheer color coverage that was mostly the result of the high density of glitter in the sheerer, lightly glossy base color. The texture is noticeable on the lips, due to the amount of glitter, but I only saw less than a dozen glitter particles stray beyond my lips over the three and a half hours it lasted (though some glitter lingered for longer than that).
