MAC Jamie Genevieve & Patricia Bright Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Jamie Genevieve

MAC Jamie Genevieve Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium peach with soft, warm yellow undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer that applied smoothly without dragging on my lips. The color applied evenly but pulled away along my lip lines a bit. The lipstick had a lightweight, creamy texture with slight tackiness but adhered well for four and a half hour wear. It was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

This shade is available in the UK now and has a global launch of November.

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.

Patricia Bright

MAC Patricia Bright Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep brown with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and creamy with moderate slip that made it comfortable and easy to apply in a single, fluid motion. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and stayed on well for five hours. The formula felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.
