Hot Like

MAC Hot Like Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a brighter, medium red with neutral undertones and a natural sheen with faint pearl. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly on my lips and adhered well without emphasizing my lip lines. The lipstick was lightly creamy, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. The color wore well for six hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview

$18.50/0.10 oz. - $185.00 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.

More Than a Woman

MAC More Than a Woman Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy sheen. It had good pigmentation–almost opaque–that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging on them. The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being too slippery, and felt lightly hydrating over time. This shade stayed on well for five and a half hours.
