MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick Mull It Over

Shade : Mull It Over I definitely "mulled over" buying this product and glad I was able to find it on discount at TJMaxx ($8!!). The formula is as nice as I anticipated it to me -- it glides smoothly on application and takes maybe 2 passes to build full color. It's a powder finish instantly on application, but it doesn't affect it's layering ability. I think the finish is beneficial for mask-wearing and in comparison to more balmy/satin finish lipsticks I wear, the powder kiss formula lasts longer. No staining left behind for the Mull It Over color. The finish isn't dry looking like a matte, but not shiny either. Looks pretty velvet-y. Comfortable on the lips, but it does have a slip when you first apply but dries down.

I'm a medium-olive with yellow leaning undertones and this lipstick pulls more peachy on me versus online swatches I've seen look pinker. Before application I exfoliate my lips and use a waxy lipbalm. I've noticed when I don't exfoliate it exentuates dry lip texture. I love how versatile the formula can be, whether I build it to full opacity or lightly apply it. Wears out nicely throughout the day and I don't have a "need" to reapply for it to look good. Would recommend and I look forward to purchasing more shades!

Power up your look with Powder Kiss! From neutral pink to vibrant red, four fierce shades offer a wealth of ways to set your lips ablaze this New Year. Delivering a blur of soft-focus colour, this weightless moisture-matte Lipstick was developed to replicate a backstage technique: blending out edges of matte lipstick for a hazy effect. Its groundbreaking formula contains moisture-coated powder pigments that condition and hydrate lips. The result is the zero-shine look of a matte lipstick with the cushiony, lightweight feel of a balm. Each Lipstick comes wrapped and ready to gift in powerful peony-printed packaging.

My shade is merekesh mere. It's absolutely gorgeous. A brown orange red. The formula is emaculate. U can almost wear different tones of the same shade depending on how hard to press and how much u layer. Stays on very well. After eating and talking and what not I usually only see some fading but it doesn't leave that weird lipstick rim around my lips. I just freshen up slightly and it looks like I have a full lip on. Love it.

Gorgeous colour that lasts

This is a really romantic matte lipstick. The colours are gorgeous with high quality pigment and it’s super flattering. The difference between this powder kiss lipstick and other mattes I have tried is that this is not drying, it has a powdery soft finish that is quite moisturising. I love the natural look of this lipstick and it has a lot of staying power, it’s well worth the price. It’s packaged beautifully and is so light and comfortable to wear I am going to try other shades, it’s one of the better lipsticks I have tried. Mac lipsticks are awesome and this is simply beautiful. I highly recommend this powder kiss lipstick

Hits and misses

i have bought this lipstick in a few shades and the ones that i love are Stay Curious, Sultry Move, Dubonnet Buzz, and Brickthrough. they are all creamy and soft and i can reapply and not have it look cakey. unfortunately, i don't think the formula is consistent. the worst one i have tried is Turn to the Left. i love this shade i think it is perfect for fall but omg the lipstick is horrible. i put it on over clean, smooth lips and it made my lips looked chapped and brought out all the lines in my lips it is not crease resistant. i looked like linda blair it was very bizarre. reapplying was also a nightmare which is not good because you need to constantly reapply for some reason. the other shades are excellent but Turn to the Left is awful.

I love it!

I have Mull it Over, Shocking Revelation, and Dedicated to Chili. They all apply beautifully, just gliding over the lips with no need for a balm or anything. They are true to color, and smell/taste and feel amazing! I especially recommend Dedicated to Chili to anyone who enjoys warm brick red colors! I've found them to be easily layerable, if I want more color, as well as blottable, if I want less. Some people have mentioned problems with staying power, and yes I have to reapply after I eat and wipe my mouth, but I reapply regular matte lipsticks as well so this is no problem for me. I can wear these with a mask - there's a bit of transfer onto the inside of the mask, but my lips still look great and it doesn't smudge around my face. I've found even when I don't ... MoreI have Mull it Over, Shocking Revelation, and Dedicated to Chili. They all apply beautifully, just gliding over the lips with no need for a balm or anything.

I even purchased Dedicated to Chili at full price and have no regrets!

Muted Mattes

This is a lipstick with a twist, it really has a powdery finish!. It’s like that technique that was popular back in the day where you would apply lipstick blot it with a tissue, reapply, blot and then apply powder over a single ply of tissue. This does the same thing but with just one swipe. The colour range is amazing. I own 2 colours “ 907 Fall in Love” which is bright pink but more muted on the lips, and “928 Sheer Outrage” which I would describe as a muted peachy colour. The packaging is powder coated like the lipstick, instead of having a shiny case like the original lipsticks. It still has that satisfying click when the lid goes on. I would recommend this lipstick to anyone that loves a matte lip but not a saturated colour.

So light and soft...

Mac is well-known for its amazing array of lipstick shades and formulas, and I love using their lipsticks, I always know it will feel, look and even taste good. This powder-kiss formula really gives a new meaning to the idea of “matte”. MAC’s matte lipsticks are easy to apply and have a very intense colour, but like most mattes, they can be a bit drying. The powder kiss formula is a different take on a matte. It has the full colour of a matte lipstick but is so light and soft on the lips, you hardly know you are wearing lipstick. It doesn’t have that dried-up feeling, and is a perfect daytime formula – a clear pop of colour with muted intensity. I have this lipstick in the shade Reverence – a soft light pink, perfect for work or for a natural make-up day.

neutral about it.

I like the concept of it, it's more silicone based so it feels very lightweight. This formula doesn't have the waxy feel of a matte lipstick but doesn't feel as oily/waxy as a satin for example. The slip it has is much more light feeling. HOWEVER, the lipstick transfers pretty easily. It transfers as much a lustre or glaze. I do enjoy that sort of soft-focus look but if you have deeper lines it doesn't make much of a difference. Another thing I'm not fond of is the pigment. It seems more like a buildable coverage. My issue with buildable is that you'll end up with the creasing aspect of color pooling into the lines and emphasizing them. I don't like that the formula varies by shade. Some crease up more than others, some aren't as pigmented as others. I think MAC ... MoreI like the concept of it, it's more silicone based so it feels very lightweight.

Some crease up more than others, some aren't as pigmented as others. I think MAC ought to formulate each color to be consistent. I do quite like "Devoted to Chili" though, looks great for the fall! In general I like the formula, though I feel this formula should have really utilized their nude shades, that soft focus look would look amazing with nude shades for everyday wear especially with this lightweight formula. I'd love to see Yash, Kinda Sexy, Cherish, Angel, Creme Cup, Peachstock and even faux in this formula.
