MAC Night Blooming Mattene Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Night Blooming Mattene Lipstick
Passionately Tempted May Be More Conventional Than You Thought
MAC Night Blooming Mattene Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.08 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone blue pink.” It’s a vibrant magenta pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a satin-matte finish. MAC Outrageously Fun is less vibrant, pinker. Le Metier de Beaute Paris is darker, pinker. MAC Dear Diary is more vibrant. MAC Candy Yum Yum is cooler-toned. MAC Pink Pigeon is a touch lighter. MAC Love Forever is lighter, more muted.
It’s rich in color and applies with opaque color coverage. The texture is creamy and glides on easily. The finish is satiny initially, but after an hour or two, it becomes mostly matte. This particular shade did stain my lips (which you may or may not appreciate), and it lasted for six and a half hours plus had a lingering stain for another hour or so. It is vanilla-scented, and while creamy, it was not too thick or heavy worn. There are two other shades of Mattenes coming out with this collection, which I’ll review when I’m able to purchase them.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Definitely adding this and Unconventional Blush to my wish list! Thanks, Christine!
No prob, Ashley!
why am i obesessing these bright pink colors! I love it! Its wonderfull on you Christine! Love it love it love it!
Because they’re prettyyy to look at. Always, lol!
Wow that is a beautiful, bright pink. It looks awesome on you! And your hair looks amazing in these pics too (and skin…and brows! :P)
Thanks, Becca!
Oh, God, that’s so pretty….
How close is this to MAC Zen Rose (Sheen Supreme)?
I’d say this is darker!
Christine do you think this shade would compliment warm/deep skin tones?
<——-NC44 here =)
Yes!
hummm….its close to outragously fun and pink pigeon. I have outragously fun and I’ve been LUSTING after pink pigeon which I heard is supposed to be repromoted this spring. I’m going to the preview event tomorrow night so I’ll swatch it and see how I feel about it then. I LOVE outragously fun, but I’m not so sure I need 2 or even 3 of the same colors.
Oh my god really? I really hope so.
I’m so glad to see an A grade for a limited edition MAC product! And it’s such a fun color
Wow, Christine! This looks amazing on you! Is there any lipstick you can’t wear?! XD
GORGEOUS! How does it compare to Show Orchid? And… I LOVE seeing your great smile but would you ever consider a face picture with lips closed? I know you have them close up but it would be great to see it from a little further away. Like you don’t do enough right?!?! Just a thought. I appreciate everything you do and ALWAYS check here before buying anything! So THANK YOU! XOXO
Show Orchid is shimmery/iridescent, less magenta.
I just can’t get into these bright pinks, but they look great on you 🙂
At first, I looked at this lipstick and thought, “YAAAY! Hooray, SO PINK!!” …And then I realized…I’m going to be THAT AUNT. You know, the crazy Aunt with the bold/bright lipstick that’s like, “Come here, honey, and let your Aunt give you a kiss” then the kid is just like “AHHH!!!” HAHAHA. Ok, I totally had that Aunt as a kid, and I realized with my love for bold lips, I’m going to be that Aunt. Crap. LOL.
wow, that’s gorgeous!
This reminds me so much of Immodest – an older mattene. Christine, if you remember it, do you think it’s similar?
I remember Immodest being pinker!
OMG!!! This color is so amazing. Love the pink color for it looks like a striking color to me. I usually prefer pink shades for I find them so girly. I think I’m going to try this one after I finish with my Revlon lippie.
You look absolutely beautiful!!! I love that colour on you! I hope it looks as good on me. I want to try it ASAP.
That’s a pretty color
How does this compare to Girl About Town? Do you think it’s worth it to own both?
Girl About Town is a darker pink with less magenta in it. I don’t think they’re similar at all other than they both have pink in them.
Hi Christine! I have a “tough” question for you. I love peachy-looks. I am quite blonde (not platinum!), fair skin (NC 20 more or less, neutral/ warm undertone). I would like to buy a combo of blush+ lipstick from Illamasqua (never tried this brand, but reviews say it’s worthy!). I would like to achieve a very natural, portable, peachy look for everyday makeup. What would you suggest me?
I was looking probably at “Lover” as a blush. But for the lipstick I am really undecided (among Obey, Over and Brick maybe…but likely there will be other options..). Everything seems so “bright” from the swatches on illamasqua.com! I cannot decide! 🙁
Can you suggest something for me? (Blush + lipstick)? thanks REALLY a lot!
You might like Lover as a blush 🙂 Then for lipstick, I’d say Obey, actually!
hmm… this looks like every other lipstick mac does?
Is this close in color to NARS Schiap? cheers
NARS Schiap is a darker pink with less magenta in it.
Gosh. Of all the dupes above, the only ones I don’t have are the Le Metier and Pink Pigeon, but still here I am!
Christine, how does this compare to Lickable (cremesheen)?
Also, it’s been awhile since my last Mattene. How do you think this formula is compared to pro longwear lipcreme? Texture and weartime specially? Any preference? TIA! 😀
Darker, less pink compared to Lickable!
They’re similar to Pro Longwear Lipcremes – not as creamy/thick.
Also, how is this shade against Spitfire from 2011?
TIA x 2! 😀
Pinker!
Grrr! Just when I thought being 6 hrs ahead gives me a leg-up on ordering online, I still missed this! =/
Maybe next time!
But thanks Christine!! =) I’ll be on the look-out for its reappearance! And because it’s a different pink, it’s on my list! ,p
what’s the different in product amount vs a mac lipstick?
Regular lipsticks have 0.10 oz.
Looks beautiful on you Christine!
I LOVE the Mattene formula, hoping they come out with more shades soon!
Do you think this will look nice for NC30 skintone?
Great!
Hi Christine!
I’m obsessed with mac lipstick. I’ve been trying to collect them up^^ Would you mind to recommence some nude pink or peach colors for everyday looks that the ladies must to have? Please you share your share your favorite ones?? Thanks in advances 🙂
How about Shy Girl?
Love, love, love this lipstick!!! Cannot wait! Thank you for reviewing it. I always follow your reviews and you never let me down. Just wondering if you will be reviewing Seductive Intent and Nocturnal Instinct mattene lipsticks?
Thank you kindly!
Alexandra
I just bought them online this morning, so hopefully they will arrive soon!
Can’t wait to see the review!! I love this color!
Christine, do you know if this collection will be available at Mac counters(like Nordstrom) or just stores? Thanks!!
As far as I know, it will be available everywhere.
Hi Christine –
How would you compare Night Blooming to Moxie?
Moxie isn’t as purple.
How similar is night blooming to show orchid?
Night Blooming doesn’t have the same iridescence or brightness.
