April 2009. Consumers praise MAC Lipstick for offering the most appealing shades. The Matte line is available in 12 colors that are deeply pigmented without a lot of shine. Experts say that the lipstick, originally formatted to stand up to the intense light and heat of photo shoots, really stays put, though it can be a bit drying. Users agree but claim that a bit of lip balm applied before the lipstick makes it more comfortable to wear. If you prefer a creamier lipstick, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (*est. $7) tops reviewers' lists. The Back-to-MAC program encourages recycling by offering consumers a free tube of lipstick for every six empty tubes returned to MAC.
Paula Begoun provides the most thorough review of MAC Matte Lipstick in her detailed analysis at Beautypedia.com. The hundreds of user reviews at MakeupAlley.com and TotalBeauty.com offer consumers' day-to-day experiences with the lipstick. Allure magazine compares the lipstick to hundreds of others tested for their annual beauty awards.
