I’ve had a few of these over the years and it definitely depends on the colour and finish as to your rating of this. If you don’t find the right one keep hunting. Definitely hit up a Mac store and test a few out or at least read a few reviews.
I’ve had a few that if I had written a review it would have been average - a lot of the colours I’ve had especially in my younger days definitely did not suit me. So once I realised what to shop for rather than impulse buy I was on a roll. I’m currently crushing on a few shades in my collection and it’s brought back the love.
These are super creamy formulas. And I love that you can have many finishes in them.. it does make it hard to choose though. At the moment “hug me” is a fave. It’s a sheer pinky brown colour. I have quite pink lips so it is very sheer on my lips as expected from a lustre. It’s subtle but I know it’s there and I don’t have to worry about when it wears off that I will have lines all over my lips. It does wear off!! Definitely don’t get me wrong it’s not long lasting at all so will need to be reapplied after a meal etc.. but it just adds this glow to your lips that’s like a wee highlighting halo. So for me it’s quite like a gloss which means a light application and one coat. Quite often no mirror needed for me to apply this one.
It’s a nice creamy lipstick with a subtle coconut kind of?? Smell and taste to it. Very smooth and snag free application. In terms of lipsticks this is one of the easier ones for me to apply given it’s texture and colour. A red for example would definitely require more time and attention.
I love the matte formula! Especially the bright reds and oranges. It goes on nice and smooth and i dont think an zombie apocalypse could get this stuff off.
