MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and pigmentation and wear usually depend on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, usually only wear for a few hours and have a sheer coverage (as intended) and don’t dry.
Some of the original matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-like feel, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most matte shades are fairly pigmented and long-lasting, although some do dry.
The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, slightly creamy to moderately creamy textures with some shine, and moderate to long-lasting wear with deeper, richer shades worn for longer. The frost and metallic finishes have the greatest variance between shades, with opacity ranging from semi-transparent to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla scented but have no discernible taste.
