MAC A Perfect Day Lipstick

MAC Naturally: Lipsticks

There are four limited edition shades of MAC Lipstick ($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) in the Naturally collection: A Perfect Day (light neutral pink), Beach Sand (light tan), Pillow Talk (neutral pink), and Sweet Sunrise (light neutral peach-pink).

A Perfect Day is a rosy beige nude with opaque color coverage and a creamy finish. It has an amplified finish. MAC Naked Bliss is darker. MAC Supremely Confident is much lighter. MAC Woo Me has less pink. MAC Faerie Glen is less pink. Maybelline Born With It is a bit pinker.
Beach Sand is a palem peachy tan with subtle shimmer and opaque color coverage. It has a cremesheen finish. It’s paler than Dolce & Gabbana Nude.
Pillow Talk is a light-medium beige brown with a subtle shimmer-sheen. IT’s opaque in color coverage. It has a cremesheen finish. Guerlain Ne M’oubliez Pas is a bit rosier. NARS Pago Pago is a little less beige. Laura Mercier Sandcastle is more beige.
Sweet Sunrise is an ultra pale white-pink with semi-opaque color coverage. It has a lustre finish. It’s less opaque and pinker compared to MAC Fleshpot. Maybelline Born With It is a bit darker. MAC Hue is less pink and warmer. It’s not quite as warm-toned as MAC Playing Koi.

MAC Lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no taste. On average, I get four hours of wear with them, but it often depends on the finish. Finishes like satins and amplifies tend to have better color coverage and wear for four to six hours, sometimes longer, depending on the hue. Two finishes present here–Cremesheens and Lustres–I find drying, with Lustres being more drying than Cremesheens. Lustres tend to wear off in two to three hours for me, unfortunately, likely due to the additional slip in the finish (which can create some unevenness with ultra pale shades like Sweet Sunrise.
