Pink-off

MAC Pink-off Nicopanda Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a light-medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good pigmentation with a lightly creamy texture that had some slip–again, not actually a “matte” as described. The lipstick applied fairly evenly, but the slight slip in the texture made it more prone to settling into my lip lines over time, and I think this was exacerbated with the stronger white base that came through the color itself. It wore well for four hours with some settling into lip lines, while the formula itself was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

Pop Babe

MAC Pop Babe Nicopanda Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. The color payoff was opaque in a single stroke, and it had a smooth, velvety texture that glided across my lips without being too thick or too thin and had just enough slip not to tug. It applied evenly and stayed on well for six hours. This shade left a stain behind and was non-drying.

Toung 'n' Chic

MAC Toung ‘n’ Chic Nicopanda Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.11 oz.) is deep berry with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. The “matte” finish described wasn’t apparent until two to three hours after I applied it, which is typical of most satin finishes anyway. The texture was smooth, dense but not overly firm so it didn’t drag on my lips during application. It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. It wore well for six hours, left a slight stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.
