MAC City Slick, Evening Buzz, Mud Wrestler Lipsticks

City Slick

MAC City Slick Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a light gray with neutral-to-warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good pigmentation, though not quite opaque in one layer, with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that didn’t feel too heavy or too thin on the lips. For such a light shade, it actually applied quite well without any liner, lip brush, or extra effort, but it is still a shade that would work better with a lip primer or lip liner underneath. I find that very light shades like this tend to need a liner if only to help soften the edges of the lips so they are neater. The lipstick lasted for four hours on me and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

Evening Buzz

MAC Evening Buzz Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark grayish lavender with cool undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips evenly and smoothly. The consistency was a little thicker on the lips, but it had a creamy feel and applied without tugging. The formula felt lightly hydrating over the five hours it lasted for. It was a more unique color, and I’m glad it applied fairly well without much effort.

Mud Wrestler

MAC Mud Wrestler Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, light-medium beige-brown with a hint of pink and a satin finish. It had rich pigmentation with a lightly creamy, light-medium weight texture that applied evenly but pulled away at a couple of my lip lines (it was minor, though). The formula wore nicely for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.
