Editor's Review

MAC Cockney Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a brighter, medium red with warmer, yellow undertones and a luminous sheen. It had a Lustre finish, so it had more translucent coverage--semi-sheer to medium pigmentation--that appeared almost stain-like. The consistency was firmer initially but melted and felt more emollient as I applied it. Not all Lustres wear well for me, but Cockney is one of the more versatile and comfortable to wear shades within that finish for me. It wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

MAC Cockney is an amazing and unique red, but since I dislike the MAC Lustre formula I can't give it more than 3-stars. Bright reds usually don't look flattering on me, but MAC Cockney is definitely an exception. On me it doesn't look warm or yellow; it's actually translating to a pink-red, with neutral tones (but with some yellowness); it's such a unique color because the pink vibes are not `Barbie-pink`. The sheen is very beautiful, quite subtle. My issue is that personally I dislike the MAC Lustre formula. The coverage is very sheer, almost stain like (which is not bad); the moment you try to build up coverage it all gets gloopy and messy. The Lustre lipsticks move around as you speak and transfer to anything, worse even than a gloss. I can barely get 1-2 of wear if I don't eat and I only drink from a straw. To be worse, the formula is as drying at the Retro-Mattes; the MAC Matte and Satin lipsticks are way more comfortable (and lightly more hydrating) than Lustre. If I could find a dupe for Cockney in the Matte or Satin finish, it would become a staple in my collection.

Favorite red from MAC hands down for me. I love Everyday Diva and Lush Life, but this shade, this shade is something amazing. I'm mad I lost the tube, but will be buying another one to replace it very soon.
