Mac Studded Kiss Vs Sin

This creamy matte lipstick features high colour payoff in a no-shine matte finish. The perfect matte formulation of the iconic product that made MAC famous. KVD Vegan Beauty is always at the forefront of innovation, searching for ways to amplify and improve our already high-performance products. Originally created in 2014, the Studded Kiss Lipstick collection was reimagined to what it is today, with an updated look featuring monochromatic black studded packaging and a breakthrough new formula.

RubyHue Lipstick Review: MAC Sin (matte) 29/9/2014 
L 2 R BELOW (All MAC) 
Russian Red, Sin, Diva,Studded Kiss (LE), Prince Noir (LE)
Sin. It doesn't get much airplay. I know why; it's a crazy-dark little mofo, not the easiest texture to wear and looks like a thousand other vampy browny-reds, in the tube, at least.
But don't be fooled by the bullet shot; direct daylight makes every darn thing look like Viva Glam I. The swatch above was taken in slightly cool indoor daylight and while Russian Red is looking a liiittle freaky, the others are close to median reality.  In the shot above right I'm wearing OPI Germanicure on my nails for reference. 
Sin is really just as delicious as all those LE tricks we chase so hard, certainly performs better than most of them and given it's being issued with the upcoming MAC Rocky Horror collection, I thought it was time to bust out a review of my own. Are you as disappointed with the Rocky Horror sticks as I was? Pff. Franky is pretty much my spirit animal and I am revving my very own electric carving knife at MAC for not producing something a lot more nastily fabulous.
Sin is a mesmerising exercise in monotone. Boiled wine is phrase that enters my head when I look at it for any length of time, probably in reference to its monster, doubled-down saturation. I was surprised at how different it is to Diva, since I tend to get them mixed up in the glittery soup that is my forebrain. Sin is much more blackened and Syrah-deep than Diva and is probably the darkest of MAC's permanent mattes. In spite of all of this pigmented goodness, it manages to stay tight and even rather than clumping up; I mean, look at the swatches, especially the one below left- I was slathering it on hard and that kind of smoothness is some next-level shit.
Look how close Sin comes to the coveted, unicornesque Prince Noir > The only material difference is the plum-pudding brown in the heart of the latter and Sin gives better coverage and wear time. Under most lighting, there's not much brown at all in Sin; if you're seeing rustiness in these shots, trust the claret tones rendered in the sheer stoke below; the stripe to the far right is just that same dirty, smoked magenta-red at critical mass and total opacity.
RIGHT (all MAC)
Russian Red, Sin, Diva, Studded Kiss (LE), Prince Noir (LE).
Sin is wonderfully photogenic, is beloved by MUAs for the drama and intensity it brings to other shades and is involved in a lot of those runway/red carpet looks that everyone loses their shit over trying to find out which shade Random Plastique McDucklips is werqing. It makes fantastic drop-dead garnets with things like Ruby Woo.
< Here we have Sin sheered out + maxed out. In this climate I find the tube benefits from sitting in the sun for a few minutes in winter before application; too cold and it can be a stiff bitch to work with. This tenacity equals great lifespan, though; Sin persists until you scrub it off. There's zero bleeding as you might expect from something this resolutely matte, no shine at all and only faint staining. Despite its rather dry (but not unbearable) mouth-feel it doesn't fuck up my lips like a Retro Matte or some of the nastier MAC lustres. And it's going to the front of the lipstick box right now.

affiliate linkI went to the mall on Black Friday, intending to do some Christmas shopping for friends and family.
Crazy, right?
Just being there was a sensory overload, but things got even more intense at the MAC counter. I was mesmerized by the array of lip color on display.
That's where MAC blew my holiday shopping budget in record time with an updated release of their beyond-brilliant MAC Liptensity Lipsticks ($21) in nine new and three bring-back shades!
Can i win real money on house of fun. I fell in love with MAC Liptensity's creamy, color-packed formula the first time around, and didn't think I could love it more.
We heart this gave me the chance to test four shades, and the formula is so vivid, so creamy, so long-lasting, I know I'll be adding more colors to my makeup bag soon.
Get to applications on mac. You might think I'm going a little overboard considering the endless formulas and colors that MAC already offers.
Here's what makes this Liptensity release something special: not only nine new shades and three old faves of lipstick, but 18 permanent shades of brand new MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil ($21).
Ok, let's get to the shades…
MAC Liptensity Lipstick ReviewThe lipsticks I tested (marked*) ran the gamut from daytime neutral to nighttime high drama.
MAC Bite O Georgia – Light creamy peach
MAC King Salmon* – Creamy salmon pink, extremely flattering for practically any skin tone. What is the latest version of adobe acrobat reader dc.
MAC Clouds in My Coffee – Light dusty nude pink
MAC Well Bred Brown* – Light nude, I'm reaching for this one almost every day. One application in the morning and I'm still wearing it when I get home from work.
MAC Double Fudge* – Intense dark brown that reads vampy almost-black on my lips. My inner Goth is really pleased with how dramatic this one looks. Revit for mac 2019.
MAC Beetroot* – Creamy lilac purple, a new wave-y throwback that's surprisingly wearable.
MAC Liptensity Lipstick SwatchesThe lipsticks glide on creamily and are extremely long-lasting.
Of course, I'd expect this kind of staying power to come with a cost—dry lips–but all things considered, the formula is not very drying at all.
I just make sure to exfoliate and apply a good lip balm overnight for extra moisture.
The MAC Liptensity formula is the best possible version of long-wearing lipstick.
The bonanza of 18 permanent matching lip pencils (excuse me while I swoon) is almost too much for this Liptensity lover to take.
You read that correctly, 18 colors of MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil (available here). The liner has a slanted, chiseled tip that is extremely precise—so easy to use!
The colors are vivid and long lasting.
MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil ReviewI sampled three shades (marked*) and have already set my sights on a whole bunch more…
MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil ShadesHabanero  – Vibrant Orange, just bright enough and so pretty.
All Dressed Up* – True Bright Red. You won't find a more beautiful classic red liner.
Mac mail outlook. Original doom download mac. Dionysus – Rich burgundy
Art District – Soft warm pink
Pressed Blooms – Soft cool pink
Fresh Clay* – Mid-tone Rosy Nude. I love MAC's Spice and Nice & Spicy liners, and Fresh Clay is a similar neutral.
Enoki – Dusty lilac beige
MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil SwatchesThe formula is so creamy, I'm tempted to wear the liner all over with a little clear gloss on top.
I was already a big fan of MAC's various lip liners, but the Liptensity collection's sharp, slanted tip is extra-nice.
