Bosom Friend
MAC Bosom Friend Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a light pink with subtle, warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was slightly less than expected given its Cremesheen finish. The texture was lightly creamy with a touch of tackiness that never felt heavy or overly slippery on the lips, but it was comfortable to wear and didn’t drag when applied directly from the tube. There was a bit of color that gathered in my lip lines over time but the coverage was rather even, which was a huge plus given how pale the shade itself was. The lipstick lasted for three and a half hours on me and was not drying.

Formula Overview
$17.50/0.10 oz. - $175.00 Per Ounce
MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying. Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying. The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Crème d'Nude
MAC Crème d’Nude Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a light, peachy beige with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer with a lightweight, lightly emollient texture that glided across the lips without tugging. The color applied fairly evenly, though there was a bit of product that got into my lip lines initially as well as more over time. It stayed on well for three and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Derriere
MAC Derriere Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a dark brown with warm, caramel undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which was buildable to full coverage with just a bit more on top. The consistency was smooth, velvet, and lightly creamy without being too slippery or thick on the lips. On me, it wore well for five hours with a bit of color settling over time and was neither drying nor hydrating.
