Rajah
MAC Rajah Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with moderate, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging. The texture was velvety, lightweight, and creamy enough to be comfortable to apply and to wear. There was a touch of product that sank into my deeper lip lines but not enough that it was visible from a normal viewing distance. this shade stayed on well for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$20.00/0.1 oz. - $200.00 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.

Whole New World
MAC Whole New World Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a deep, fuchsia pink with cool undertones and cooler, barely-there iridescent pearl. It had good color coverage, but there was enough translucency that my lip freckle peeked through. The texture was denser and firmer in the tube, but it didn’t tug on my lips uncomfortably (but did require firmer pressure!). The color applied evenly across my lips, but there was product that sat in my deeper lip lines (less noticeable given how bright and rich the color was) with the thinner consistency catching on any imperfections. It wore well for over six hours, left a strong stain behind, and was slightly drying over time.
