MAC x Caitlyn Jenner Lipsticks

Authentic Red

MAC Authentic Red Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark ruby red with cooler undertones and fine, red pearl paired with a natural sheen–a little shine but not truly glossy. The consistency was denser and lightly tacky, so the bullet dragged a bit as it applied but moved more readily as the warmth of my lips melted the lipstick. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which was somewhat buildable, that went on evenly. It wore well for five hours, left a subtle, reddish stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Rock it

MAC Rock It Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium rose brown with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) with a thin, lightly tacky texture that sat fairly well on the lips. The lipstick dragged initially when applied, but as the bullet warmed up against my lips, it spread better and felt more malleable. On me, this shade wore well for three and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Understanding

MAC Understanding Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark coral with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen. The lipstick was thinner, lightly tacky but applied more evenly than other semi-sheer to semi-opaque lipsticks have in the past. The consistency took a few seconds to soften and warm-up against my lips, but once it did, it glided on with minimal drag. It wore well for four hours and was a touch drying for me.

FYI, this shade is available exclusively online.
