Only You

MAC Only You Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "muted mid-tone coral [with a Cremesheen finish]." It's a muted, rosy pink with warm undertones and an ultra-fine pearl shimmer-sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly. The texture was thin, lightweight, and tended to apply better as it warmed up against the heat of the lips.
