Friend Like Me

MAC Friend Like Me Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with neutral undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the texture was lightly creamy, emollient without being slippery, and denser in the tube but not to the point where it dragged or tugged on my lips during application. The color applied evenly but had a tendency to separate along my deeper lip lines. It stayed on well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time but some color did settle into my lip lines over time.

Formula Overview

$20.00/0.1 oz. - $200.00 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.

Princess Incognito

MAC Princess Incognito Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, dusty corla with warmer undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly across my lips without tugging. The texture was creamy, smooth, and velvety with a slightly denser, thicker feel, though it never felt heavy on. There was a bit of product that separated along and settled into my deeper lip lines but wasn’t noticeable until after two to three hours of wear (and it lasted well for four hours). The formula was neither drying nor hydrating to me.
