Editor's Review

MAC Sin Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "deep dark blue red [with a Matte finish]." It's a dark, burgundy-red with subtle cool, fuchsia-ish undertones with a matte finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff, though it is buildable to fully opaque color. I think it is only when you try one of MAC's original Matte formulas and then immediately try one of their newer shades that you can appreciate the improvements they've made. The texture of this is much drier, so it does drag and tug on the lips somewhat. It was a bit drying over time, though the color lasted for over seven hours. NARS Ingrid (P, $32.00) is glossier. NARS Liv (P, $32.00) is cooler-toned, glossier. Kat Von D Motorhead (P, $21.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Talk That Talk (LE, $16.00) is is cooler-toned. MAC Soulfully Rich (P, $18.00) is darker, cooler-toned. MAC Endless Drama (P, $18.00) is less matte. MAC Prince Noir (LE, $16.00) is darker, cooler-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

MAC matte lipsticks are my favourite formula to wear and I find them consistently good across the board. Sin is my ideal dark red, not pink at all and extremely pigmented. Applies smoothly and wears for 4+ hours comfortably.

I got the little mini-sized version of this lipstick. The vampy burgundy color is nice, but it is quite dry and tugs very hard when I try to apply it. I'm glad I didn't spend the money to buy the full size version.
