Editor's Review

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... Read More.

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.

Cherish is my favorite lipstick of all time, mine is nearly finished and I will definitely repurchase it. The Satin finish is creamy when applying but it sits well on lips and last for 3 to 4 hours if I dont eat. The color is a nice highly pigmented peachy brown that goes well on my NC20 skin. It is my HG my lips but better!

Such an amazing fuchsia colour. It can tend to lean more purple than pink on some people (including myself). The texture and formula is excellent, and even when the lipstick comes off after eating etc, the colour leaves quite a nice stain on the lips. I would have given it a 5 star rating, but the fact that we have to pay $36 for it in Australia prevents me from leaving it top marks!

Creme d'Nude is a great nude lipstick. Overall, the texture is quite good, but pale skinned girls like myself might need to watch it with this shade, because it's quite easy to have that "dead" look with such a lack of bright colour.

I will admit, it is a little dry to the lips to wear, but it goes on smooth, which I can appreciate. It is a hard color to wear though. I'm still attempting to find a lipliner, as I think I've found a gloss, that will help tone down the color just a few shades or make it a little more wearable then it is right now. Because putting it by itself on my skin tone just doesn't work unfortunately, but I'm determined to find a way!

This is one of those lipsticks that I would never wear on it's own, it just doesn't suit my skintone. It's really to light, BUT paired with the right lipgloss this becomes a wonderful shade. I pair it with Nymphette from MAC and a few colors from the Too Faced lipgloss line and it's absolutely wonderful.

Wonderful shade of pink from MAC. It's bright, really fun, and can work on just about any skin tone in my opinion. Not to mention it lasts! I pair it with the Magenta lipliner when I want to make it a tad darker depending on the look I'm going for, but it's still gorgeous.

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.

So for women of color out there that fall into the dark range I will say this: Lip liner is your BEST friend with this lipstick. Your best friend ever. Putting it on by itself I look crazy and like I got into a fight with my train case and lost, badly, but adding a lip liner (Silly from MAC if you want more pink, Nightmoth from MAC for a vampire lip effect, Fushia from Milani for an electric dark pink - close enough to Girl About Town by MAC - shade) makes this a wonderful color though.

So I was looking for a purple that was a true purple, no red undertones, no pink undertones, but purple. A nice, wearable, shade of purple. And I'm super happy to say that this is it! I love this shade from MAC, it's great and not dry like some of their other lipsticks that I've tried.

O

By Kesha 12 years ago.

“O” applies with a sheerness that doesn’t match up with the image on the MAC website. It also applies differently than expected based on what it looks like in the tube. Perhaps due to the pearl shimmer or the frost formula this color does not quite apply evenly. It is not unflattering to the naked eye but when a photo was taken with the flash on it was very noticeable. The formula can be drying so you may want to apply a moisturizing lip balm first. I could not get even application no matter how much I put on, nor could I achieve opaque coverage. The color is a very wearable one though so I would recommend it to those that don't mind the sheerness and the somewhat drying formula.
