MAC The Fashion Flock, Flocking Fabulous, Nice to Meet You Lipsticks

MAC The Fashion Flock Lipstick

MAC The Fashion Flock Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “bright pink-coral [with a Matte finish].” It’s a light-medium, pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It’s the more updated, velvety-smooth matte formula that glides on without tugging on the lips but has some shine to the end result for the first hour or so of wear. It was very pigmented, but the thicker consistency made it harder to apply without the thicker consistency gathering and emphasizing lip lines. The color lasted for four and a half to five hours, but there was noticeable settling into lip lines over time. It was neither drying nor hydrating when I wore it.

MAC Flocking Fabulous Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “bright coral-red [with a Cremesheen + Pearl finish].” It’s a brighter, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and very fine gold pearl. It had mostly opaque coverage with a lightly creamy consistency that felt wet almost when applied but didn’t slide around the lips much (there were a few “lines” that were very slightly noticeable if I pressed my lips together, but the color/brightness seem to camouflage them a lot). The color lasted for four and a half hours and was neither hydrating nor drying. Chanel Melodieuse (136) (P, $36.00) is lighter, warmer (95% similar).

MAC Nice to Meet You Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep pink-red [with a Cremesheen finish].” It’s a bright, medium pinky-red with cool undertones and a luminous sheen. It had mostly opaque coverage, though there’s translucency across the shade so the natural lip color can come through enough to influence the tone, brightness, or color of the end result somewhat if you have stronger natural lip color. The texture was lightweight, comfortable to wear, and lightly emollient without being too slippery. This shade lasted for four and a half hours on me and was neither hydrating nor drying.
