Skew
MAC Skew Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium pink with warmer undertones and cooler pink and violet pearl. I found the color harder to find dupes for, so despite the medium coverage, I could see it working well for some–it had a tendency to emphasise the natural lip color while still adding something to it. The texture was lightweight, emollient without being slippery on my lips, and was comfortable to wear over the four hours it lasted for. It was lightly hydrating over time to me.

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.

Marrakesh
MAC Marrakesh Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a rich, coppery red with warm undertones and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was easy to apply and delivered even, opaque coverage in a fluid stroke. The lipstick wasn’t too thick or too then, and it adhered well for six-hour wear. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

Rocker
MAC Rocker Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep red with strong, cool pink undertones and a satin finish with faint pearl. It had good color coverage in a single layer, which applied fairly evenly, though I noticed it didn’t adhere as well to the inner area of my lips. The lipstick was lightweight, just creamy enough not to tug, but it did not feel slippery when worn. This shade stayed on well for over six hours, left a stain behind, and was non-drying.
