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.

Sensual Red is such a universally flattering tone of true, rich red that if I didn’t already have a truckload of reds, I’d be on this perfect beauty!
These are both really tempting me.
I want something from this collection but can’t decide which pieces to get. I like these lip colors look especially Nippy’s Feisty Red. And maybe the plum blush.
Both of these shades I really like, but I have dupes for them – Shiseido’s Sleeping Dragon (which I am wearing today) and Maybellie’s Red for Me.
