MAC Inolvidable & Queen of Cumbia Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Inolvidable

MAC Inolvidable Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium, pink-coral with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle throughout. The texture was noticeably gritty from the glitter–it wasn’t the most comfortable to apply in a fluid motion–and did not seem to apply evenly.

The product was prone to settling into my deeper lip lines and emphasized lip texture/imperfections. It had semi-opaque color coverage that stayed on decently for three and a half hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating.

Formula Overview

$20.00/0.1 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying.

Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying.

The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Queen of Cumbia

MAC Queen of Cumbia Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a deep red with subtle, cool undertones paired with a faint, “matte” metallic finish. There was a metallic quality to the finish, but it was significantly less foiled and overtly shimmery than a typical metallic, and it didn’t have a lot of shine.

The consistency was dense, a little firm in the tube, and there was a bit of tug when I tried to apply it in a fluid stroke, so I’d recommend applying it in shorter, overlapping strokes to get the best coverage and least tugging. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly with very minor emphasis of lip lines/lip texture. It stayed on well for five hours, left a faint stain behind, and felt non-drying.
