Pervette is the only one that conjures up any memory of what the finish is like - these are usually a completely sheer base with some kind of flash of a different color. Glaze: These are VERY sheer and often frosty shimmer finishes, I've never actually worn one before. Some people like the high frost finish and some frosts aren't as crazy 90's as others - Costa Chic and Angel are well-loved by the makeup community. I've had a few from B2M, and ended up passing them on in a swap or giving them to a friend as they just dried my lips out too badly. I only see Hellraiser on the website, so I'm not sure.įrost: Mac's frost lipsticks are known to be relatively drying. They were limited edition but now supposedly have been added to the permanent collection. These lipsticks are mostly sheer in color but have an array of multicoloured glitter suspended within a glossy finish. I have a few and do like them but you can admittedly feel the glitter as you apply it. It's a tie between the Amplified and Cremesheen for my personal favorite texture, it just depends on whether my lips need hydration or not.ĭazzle: This is a love it or hate it finish, from what I've read. They often apply much more sheer on your lips than they appear on the tube but the texture is utterly amazing. I get 5-6 hours of wear from Amplifieds.Ĭremesheen: These are their most moisturizing line. Some shades can be a little drying (the only one currently listed under just Amplified is Saint Germain, while the others are listed as Amplified Cremes, not sure of the difference) but I find that a quick application of lip balm prevents any dryness. What you see in the tube is pretty much what you get on the lips.

Mac do different finishes on their lipsticks and each finish looks and performs differently.Īmplified/Amplified Creme: These are their most pigmented line. So, these are a decent value for the price, though in most drugstore lipsticks, you're going to get more product than a Mac lipstick. To compare, you get 0.12oz in a MUFE lipstick for $19, 0.12oz in a Cover Girl Lip Perfection for about $7, and 0.13oz in a Bobbi Brown lipstick for $23. So, there aren't many "normal" shades in my collection, most are bright or unusual in some way.Īs I said, the base lipsticks are $14.50 for 3g, or. I have a hard time forking out nearly 15 bucks for a lipstick. That being said, you'll notice that I have mostly LE/interesting shades. They're affordable for a high end brand but I will admit that $14.50 is hard to swallow for someone on a budget.

Between the basic line, the pro longwears and the limited edition releases, they pretty much have what you need covered. In my opinion, Mac has one of the best ranges of lipsticks. See the photos and review after the jump.
