THE BASICS
There are I-don’t know-how-many shades of MAC lipsticks available in 8 different
finishes. Today I have Please Me from
their Matte finishes range. Each lipstick comes
in a sleek black tube with 3g of product.
MY OPINION
For being so obsessed with makeup for such a long time, it
is quite unbelievable that I got my first ever MAC product just a few weeks back. In Pakistan, MAC was not such an easily available brand
and when I came in Germany I was fascinated by so many other high-end names
that I forgot to indulge in MAC.
For my first MAC product,
I went for the first thing I love to hoard – lipsticks. And that too a lipstick
that I could wear everyday. I have loved Please
Me from the minute I swatched it, even though it is matte, but I have heard
it is MAC’s good matte formulas, not
as much as drying as the others.
Please Me is a
very lovely “muted rosy tinted pink” in MAC’s words. When I first bought it I
kind of regretted it. I found it very matte, it emphasized my lip imperfections
badly and the colour felt a little pastel-y. But was I going to give up that
easily on my supposedly dream lipstick? The next time I started using it with
more prepped lips. I have continuously been applying it over the Live Beautifully Lip Primer and the
whole first impression has changed drastically. I have grown to love this
lipstick, this colour so much. It is a very feminine, girly everyday pink colour
which is quite pigmented.
Being a lighter shade, the lipstick lasts 4 hours on me. It
is quite comfortable to wear. If you well exfoliate and moisturise your lips,
the matte is not that much of a horror, since I personally have started to find
mattes very uncomfortable to wear in the dry weather of Germany.
