MAC Mattene Lipstick (L to R): Personal Pick,
Strutting Fabulous and Own the Look
According to MAC the Mattene formula is a "moisturising matte lipstick that delivers a creamier, softer, glide-on application." A silicone rich formula, the Mattene lipsticks do have a soft, creamy texture with a very smooth application. Out of all the matte texture formulas MAC offers (Matte and Retro Matte), this formula is my favourite. I typically do not like matte lipsticks because they tend to emphasize my usually dry lips and do not feel comfortable on. However, the Mattene formula feels weightless on the lips, and though I would not categorize it as moisturising (in the sense that it actually adds moisture), I do not find it drying to wear.
MAC Mattene Lipstick (L to R): Personal Pick,
Strutting Fabulous and Own the Look
Personal Pick - A pretty mid toned dusty rose with subtle blue undertones, a versatile colour that will suit both cool and warm skintones. Opaque in two passes. B+
Strutting Fabulous - A mid toned lavender with very cool undertones. Pigmentation is slightly sheer, so this needs 2+ passes to be opaque. A very unique, stunning colour that will no doubt create a "statement" look! B
Own the Look - A deep wine toned purple with tiny violet shimmers, a versatile colour that will suit both cool and warm skintones. Opaque in two passes. B+
MAC's Mattene formula is a great lipstick for those who otherwise can't or won't wear traditional matte lipsticks. The colours in the MACnificent Me collection offer a little something for everyone - a pretty pink for more conservative looks, a fall purple for evening or vampy looks, and an edgy lavender for those wanting to push the makeup envelope.
Overall grade: B/B+
