MAC Mattene Lipsticks are a range of lipsticks that are designed to have a matte finish. They are packaged in a sleek, black tube.
Price and Availability
$14.50 per tube, and are available at MAC online or any store with MAC counters. This is a limited edition item as part of the Posh Paradise collection.
Fresh Amour is a light pinky- lavender shade. On my lips, it has slight grey undertones. The "matte" aspect of this lipsticks can be a little deceiving. This is matte, but it is super creamy. The formulation reminds me more of MAC Amplified Creams, rather that a Matte. But I actually really love Amplified Creams, so I love the finish of this lipstick.
This color will look better on lighter skin tones, but darker skin tones can definitely pull this color off. I personally have to blot the color slightly, just so it doesn't make me look deathly pale.
Verdict
I love that this Mattene isn't too matte, and it is actually very creamy and smooth. Is does not accentuate dry lips, and it didn't dry my lips either. I love the color, although I can see it would be hard to wear for many people because it is a paler purple. This is my first MAC Mattene, and I am pretty impressed! I'd like to hear other people's experiences with Mattenes :)
Rating: 9/10 (-.5 color wearbability, -.5 for limited availability)
Recommend? I would recommend this if you are a purple lippie junky like me :D
Repurchase? No, it is limited edition after all. There are many other purple lippies out there to try as well!
I am thinking of doing a Purple Lipstick Collection post, since I ♥ my purple lippies! What do you gals think?
