Burning Love

By Ana Maria 9 months ago.

MAC Burning Love is a medium-dark berry-plum shade (a dark raspberry), with slightly cool undertones and a satin-creamy finish. It's one of those colors that aren't universality flattering; it needs paired down with specific eyeshadow colors and won't look good on everybody. I'm light-medium with yellow warm undertones and Burning Love doesn't look that good on me, it looks too pinky-plum. As a fan of MAC Mate and Satin lipsticks, I was disappointed by the Powder Kiss formula (it reminds me more of Creamsheen). The texture is velvety-powdery and I just don't like it on my lips, it's matte in finish but slippery, I doesn't completely dry out (although it's not sticky) and it moves as I drink, eat or talk. I can feel it on my lips all day long. I need to use it more like a lip tint, in a very light layer. I agree that the pigmentation is excellent from the first swipe on the lips, and it wears out decently well during the day. It's overall a little moisturizing, but it's not as comfortable as the MAC Mate finish lipsticks.
