MAC Fashion Pack Lipsticks

MAC Aim for Gorgeous Lipstick

MAC Aim for Gorgeous Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “bright fuchsia [with a Matte finish].” It’s a slightly muted, medium fuchsia-pink with blue undertones and a semi-matte to satin finish. It had great color payoff with a consistency that didn’t tug when applying, but it had a thicker feel to it that seemed more prone to clinging to the lips and exaggerating the texture of the lips. It was slightly drying over the five hours it lasted. Urban Decay Ladyflower (DC, $22.00) is warmer (90% similar).

MAC By Special Order Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep reddened fuchsia [with an Amplified finish].” It’s a bold, bright medium-dark pink-red with cooler undertones and fine pink pearl. It had mostly opaque coverage with a moderately creamy texture with some slip that applied evenly but didn’t slide around easily. On me, this shade lasted for over six hours, left behind a fuchsia-hued stain, and was slightly hydrating. Urban Decay Psycho (P, $17.00) is darker (95% similar).

MAC Pressed and Ready Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “soft whitened nude [with a Lustre finish].” It’s a light peach that leans slightly warmer, more orange-based than perfectly balanced, and it had fine, gold pearl. The texture was lightly emollient, a little stiffer in the tube until it warmed up against the lips, and applied with semi-opaque coverage–which is actually more coverage than most Lustres offer. The texture seemed to highlight lip lines as some of the color sunk into mine. This shade lasted for two and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

MAC Stylist’s Tip Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep violet [with an Amplified finish].” It’s a slightly muted, medium purple with warm, red undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage with a lightly creamy consistency that applied without tugging and went on evenly. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.
