MAC Burnished Beige Lipstick ($ 21.00 for 0.1 oz.) Is a light-medium, yellowed peach with muted, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had an opaque pigmentation in a single stroke that was evenly and comfortably applied to my lips. The texture was slightly creamy, a bit stiffer in the tube, but not so much that it was uncomfortable to apply.

There was a bit of product that got stuck in my deeper lip lines that was visible in the close-up photo, but not in person. It lasted a good four hours and felt slightly moisturizing over time.

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and pigmentation and wear and tear usually depend on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to only wear a few hours and are sheer coverage (as intended) and won’t dry out.

Some of the original matte paints have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a velvety silicone feel, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most matte paints are fairly pigmented and long-lasting, although some dry.

The Amplified and Satin finishes usually have good pigmentation, a slightly creamy to moderately creamy consistency with a bit of sheen, and a moderate to long shelf life with deeper, richer hues that are worn longer. The frost and metallic finishes show the greatest variance between the colors with an opacity from semi-transparent to opaque with average wear and tear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks smell of vanilla, but have no discernible taste.

MAC on a petal still lipstick ($ 21.00 for 0.1 oz.) Is a soft, peach-colored coral with warmer, orange undertones and a soft sheen. It had a semi-opaque paint cover that was applied evenly to my lips but blended easily into my deeper lip lines and wasn’t the most forgiving lipstick as it stuck a bit to the texture. The texture was light, slightly creamy and comfortable to wear. It carried well for four hours and felt slightly moisturizing over time.
