MAC The Matte Lip Lipstick Review & Swatches

MAC The Matte Lip Lipstick launched with the MAC The Matte Lip Collection for Fall 2014. Those who love matte finish lipsticks are sure to love on this collection.

Take a look below for more info on these lipsticks!

I tried out MAC Fashion Revival and Pander Me Matte Lip Lipsticks recently and found both shades very, very pigmented. These aren’t a true matte finish as they do remind me of a creamy matte lipstick texture which is a lot like the Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick but with a thicker formula.

I’m actually throwing it out there and saying that the Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipsticks have a better formula plus they are considerably cheaper so if I’m going to make a recommendation I’d go with those.

MAC’s formula is a little thicker but still nicely creamy with a wear of about five hours. Pander Me was the nicest of the two shades and testimony to the very nice creamy texture and easy to apply formula but Fashion Revival I didn’t love as much. Fashion Revival had a formula much like the MAC Rocky Horror Picture Show Lipsticks as it tugged during application a bit and had a formula that really loved migrating around my mouth and feathering around my upper lip. I think you can blame the shade here as all in all the texture on both lipsticks did have a nicely creamy consistency.

But again, I digress, I do think Maybelline did a far better job with a creamy textured matte lipstick and at a more reasonable price! If you’re a MAC and a matte lipstick fan I see the Matte Lip Lipsticks as being a must have. For me it’s a little hit and miss! I thought Maybelline did a better job.
