Sneak Peek: MAC The Ultimate Lipstick Collection Photos & Swatches
MAC The Ultimate Lipstick
MAC Ultimate Lipstick ($23.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a new and permanent formula with a shade range of ten (in the U.S., three additional shades available in Asia). These were supposed to launch online on the 24th, but I haven’t seen them pop up yet. The in-store release date is October 2nd for North America locations. I’m working through some of the other limited edition lip products from the other recent MAC releases, but I will have reviews for these up as well (hopefully shortly after I wrap up the others) — for now, enjoy this sneak peek look at swatches.
Update 10/13/2014: MAC has moved the online launch date to 10/29 and in-store date to 12/1.

Nice, I didn’t even know such collection was coming out. Catharina and Femme De Luxe are really pretty!
Those are the same two that called out to me, too!
Oh, I love all those colors! Ravishingly Rich wouldn’t look good on me, but it is a really pretty orange. I could see myself wearing any of the other colors. I really like the tube design, too. It looks like a piece from a futuristic chess set. Here’s hoping they perform well.
Wow! There are so many of these that I want! And they are permanent! *happy Dance* 🙂 My picks Dangerously Chic, Catharina and Marque! They look gorgeous on your lips!
I’m not too excited about these, but ohhhh the packaging! And I surprisingly like Marque. But the rest is a little ‘nah’.
I am so excited for this new range! The tube caught my attention. XD
Marque is so beautiful!
Looks good so far!
they look moisturizing! I have really dry lips so if they feel dry on lips I will pass them 🙁 hopefully they’re good so I would pick up 1-2 shades 🙂 (at the same time i hope they’re not good so I can save my wallet for other holiday collections…. hehehe)
Marque Ultimate is so pretty! but they’re look uneven in some colors or it’s just me?
Femme due Luxe, Catharina and Vogue en Violet will be coming home with me pending reviews. Love those kind of colors!
These all look lovely. I’m feeling a little MAC-ed out with all of their releases (can’t imagine how you feel!). But these are all just so pretty and wearable. Happy testing !
The number of lipsticks that have been named “Audacious” lately is crazy to me. First Nars, the D&G, now one of these. Now that I think about it, I have a Revlon matte balm thing in Audacious.
Liking Marque.
The shades are lovely! Especially the bolder and deeper colors.
Thanks for the swatches. Is it me or do the pale colors (which is what I would want) seem not particularly pigmented and lack oomph? Particularly after the Nars Audacious colors?
I like Audacious and Violet. I also really like the packaging! But I wonder how they compare to the Mineralize formula.
They all look so good, oh my goodness! I don’t dislike any shades and they all look pretty creamy and smoothing. Looking forward to detailed reviews! x
‘Audacious’ seems to be a favourite buzzword in beauty at the moment. Ravishingly Rich, Catharina and Marque are my favourites.
I was thinking the same thing. NARS, Gucci, MAC… they’re all being “audacious”
I’m surprised that none of the shades call out to me! They look really nice, though. I can’t wait to read your review! 🙂
Wow – the formula and pigmentation looks really nice on these! I’m loving Vogue en Violet! The lighter colors look pretty but I’m not sure I’d pull them off – it might look too pale on me. (I wear Mac Face & Body in NC1.)
I’m really loving Marque and Dangerously Chic. If I were to get only one out of the two, it’d be Marque, for sure.
These look pretty, but nothing seems terribly unique to me! Marque caught my attention, but it even seems somewhat similar to Viva Glam V; in general it seems like each colour would have a lot of dupes. And with an increased price tag, I’m hoping these outperform regular MAC lipsticks in some way! Fingers crossed MAC just isn’t trying to distract us with pretty packaging…
I like some of the colours a lot!
The lip swatches look amazing! Beautiful glossy finish and colors I like, it’s very tempting.
I love Marque! No idea how it would look on me, but it is so pretty!
I wasn’t too interested in this collection, but wow, these lippies all look so pretty! Can’t wait to read your full review 🙂
Some of these look really nice! I especially like Marque.
Did not know this range was coming out.. I wonder what the texture is like.. From the swatches, they looks quite moisturizing and the lighter shades look quite sheer (compared to the deeper shades).. Catharina, The Scene, Audacious and Ravishingly Rich caught my attention from these swatches.. Cant wait to try them in store.. 🙂
To my surprise I like Marque a lot. I’m generally drawn to bold dramatic lip colours, but Marque is so pretty! I’ve once had either a lipstick or a gloss looking something like this, and I loved that one.
Will be so interesting to read the reviews.
Catherine and Scene look good to me!
Marque is pretty, but too light for my lips. I have my eyes on Catharina and Femme de Luxe…maybe even Vogue en Violet!
These are really pretty and look super nice but I get the feeling that a lot of these could be duped easily, even with MAC’s own line. BUT I will say that Audacious is absolutely gorgeous and if these get a good review I might pick that one up.
None of these are really jumping out at me. They look like nice, wearable colors though!
I like the softer colors…I’m so pale
These look denser/creamier than the “regular” MAC lipsticks, so I may end up with To Savor…
I think Marque reminds me Rouge g Gems, maybe less complex and more orange.
I really like these on you. The texture seems very nice. I’ve never tried MAC lipsticks so I’ll be waiting to hear what you think. I wonder if these are more moisturizing than the Amplified Creme’s.
Marque and Catharina are my favorites.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!! 🙂 Catharina is Back — and the Marcel Wanders packaging — ooh lala! I am so excited to see the swatches and know your thoughts on the formula! If it is anywhere near Marcel Wanders’, that is pure heaven! <3 The first MW collection is still one of my most favorite, most loved MAC collabs and collections ever. Super excited! 🙂
They’re gorgeous! But I don’t know if I justify the $23 for a MAC lipstick.. do you think they’re worth it?
You know, there are several here that I think are really lovely (either in colour, finish or both), but the surprise winner for me is Marque! It occurred to me to wonder how close it was to your famous Guerlain Gems, although your old review of Gems seems to indicate that this one is peachier, and Gems’ shimmer/sparkle is more multidimensional and a little stronger.
Still though…I really wish I could have tried Gems – I think I would have been pretty darn keen on it! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE MAC THAT MAKES A SORTA-DUPE?! (although I’ve wondered how similar Revlon Peach Parfait is sometimes) 😉
I also like the table leg packaging better than the usual tampon one 😉
I adore The Scene
Yay!
Catharina is calling ME! 😉
Love the name of that one!
I looove Marque Ultimate but that packaging is so ugly in my opinion. Will totally clash with my other Mac lipstick tubes. The formula looks kinda like a cremesheen to me, I have to swatch them first before I make a decision.. 😛
I want them all! Can’t wait for the reviews. Marque and Ravishingly Rich are so pretty.
Marque has my name written allllll over it… gotta get my hands on that!
The price had me skeptical as i just associate mac with $16 lol, and anything more i will just go for a different brand. BUT again that nude is calling me – soft pout. the pink isn’t bad either though i feel like id need to see how it compares to creme cup as i usually go for warmer nudes over pinks. AND i actually think marque is kind of unique. i don’t normally go for shimmer/sheen in my lipsticks but it looks interesting!
ohhh so pretty! I think I may have to give Catharina a chance!
Hey Christine. These are due to go up online today. Nobody else has them yet to do reviews. Can you please finish the reviews for all the rest of the colors asap?? I’m really interested in Marque and Audacious. Thanks Love!
Hey! I’m waiting for these, too (especially Marque!). I’ve been checking MACs website ever since these swatches got posted.
Am a MAC lover! Use all MAC lipsticks 28 right now.
