My MAC Cosmetics Lipstick Collection
I'm a huge fan of Mac lipsticks ever since they were shared all over youtube by beauty influencers who would share their full collection as a video and I have grown to love Mac more and more as they kind of fell of the raider of youtube. I, very recently repurchased their pressed powder which is a favourite of mine after years of denying myslef the purchase but now I can't live without it and picked up their new Powder Kiss Liquid lipcolour.
So without further ado, here is my Mac Lipstick collection and thoughts on their range of formulas:
Formulas:
Mattes: A nice formula, and a lot better than other mattes in terms of lasting powder however I prefer the Powder kiss formula just a smidge better.
Satin: This formula is not matte and has a slight gloss to it. It is more likely to transfer compared to the mattes but isn't as bad as the amplified creme formula.
Retro Mattes: This is a crazy matte formula, one that is definitely useful for a special occasion. This does feel drying on the lips however if you prep your lips beforehand then it's comfortable to wear.
Powder Kiss Lipstick: One of my favourite formulas. This is a more comfortable matte that is slightly more hydrating on the lips than their original mattes.
Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour: I love Devoted to Chilli and couldn't resist getting it in this formula. This is a lot sheerer than the lipstick version however you can build it up to be a nice tinted lipstick.
Amplified Creme: I haven't worn this formula often but it definitely is more of a gloss and has a shine to it. I think out of all the formulas, this would be my least favourite but that's only because I prefer a matte formula more.
Here are the shades I have:
Vegas Volt- Amplified Creme
Whirl- Matte
Velvet Teddy- Matte
Ruby Woo- Retro Matte
Russian Red- Matte
Marrakesh- Matte
Captive- Satin
Devoted to Chilli- Powder Kiss
