When MAC uses the term “longwear” to describe a product, you can bank on the fact that they aren’t exaggerating. MAC’s recently launched collection of lipsticks deliver eternally lasting color. The surprise, however, was the super-creamy, almost fluffy consistency of the formula. Unlike some long-wearing lipsticks, MAC Pro Longwear doesn’t feel chalky or dry. The feel is utterly creamy and decadent, and check out the lustrous finish in the swatches below!

As is my usual issue with long-wearing lipsticks, the color will eventually wear off unevenly. Even Pro Longwear will eventually wear off (hours later), and the inner lip is always the first section to be bare. The creamy finish of this product means this wear-off is easily remedied. I simply pressed my lips together and voila… it was like I had just reapplied!
The one gripe I have about this product is the shape that MAC selected for the lipstick. The tip of the lipstick is wide and flat. When applying the darker shades in the collection precision is a must, and it just can’t be accomplished without use of a lip brush.
Retail price is $16.
