Cover box of MAC Lustre Lipstick in See Sheer
Tube of the lipstick - so shimmery and pretty!
MAC See Sheer Lipstick
MAC is a brand loved by thousands of women around the globe who love makeup. I love their lip glosses, but these currently aren't available in the store where I used to buy them from, and only lipsticks are stocked now, so I have settled for lipsticks. "See Sheer" is the only MAC lipstick I own right now because these come at a crazy price of $23 here. Still, I got one because I just HAD to have one!
See Sheer is a lustre formula, which means it is glossy, shiny and very moisturising by itself. It is somewhat difficult to apply over a layer of lip balm because the color just seems to slide away and apply unevenly. It melts a little in hot weather and breaks easily, so I'm thinking of buying a matte lipstick next time. It has the typical MAC vanilla fragrance, which I love!
The color is a gorgeous warm orange-coral, and gives a very glossy, summery look to my pout. I love this color and will probably use it for a long time. There's no shimmer or glitter present, so it's suitable for the college and work environment as well. To be completely honest, I wouldn't have liked this so much if it was a matte formula. It's preferable to a matte burnt orange.
The packaging is standard MAC lipstick packaging, a black bullet-shaped tube with silver shimmer. I love the tube because the cap doesn't come off easily no matter how much it has been tossed and turned.
Overall I really like the feel and formula of this lipstick, but will not buy another Lustre formula lipstick again simply because it just melts and breaks. I would recommend this to a friend who can keep their lipstick in the refrigerator, but that's just not me!
