MAC x The Blonds Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

DavidBlond

MAC DavidBlond The Blonds Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium pink with soft, warm undertones and a lightly pearlized finish. It had medium color coverage, which was somewhat buildable to semi-opaque coverage if desired, though it was a Lustre finish, so the sheerness was expected. The texture was lightweight, thin, and moderately emollient–it felt creamier than most Lustres, actually. The color applied fairly evenly but slid around a bit while worn. It wore well for three hours and was lightly hydrating to me.

PhillipeBlond

MAC PhillipeBlond The Blonds Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided across my lips without dragging. The color went on evenly and stayed out of my lip lines, and it did not bleed or feather on me over time. It wore well for over six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.
