Nude Fudge

MAC Nude Fudge Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium plum with warm undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was opaque in one, fluid stroke with a lightly creamy texture that was a little thicker, so it covered well, but did not feel heavy nor did it emphasize my lip lines. It was easy to apply and wore well for five and a half hours, though it was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

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.

Sumac

MAC Sumac Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep plum with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, which was hard to build up as the color did not adhere evenly and had a tendency to slip into my lip lines. The texture was lightewight and did not seem overly emollient, despite the poorer application. It lasted for five and a half hours, but it further settled into my lip lines over time and was non-drying.

Sunset Rose

MAC Sunset Rose Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation with a lightweight, lightly creamy texture that was thin without being clingy or prone to gathering in my lip lines. The color went on evenly and stayed on well for four and a half hours. The formula felt lightly hydrating while worn.
