I'm so sad...Swatched my Studded Kiss....it looks just like Diva on me just with a hint of a smoother texture....Sending it back to MAC

(NW47 for reference with pigmented lips)

My gut told me that it was but I guess it was wishful thinking....I wore Diva all day at work and SK was waiting for me at home...I took off Diva tried on SK..and had to look under the tube to make sure I didn't put on the same lipstick! LOL

I love the texture, pigmentation and creaminess of these matte lipsticks. They glide on so smooth!

Both lippies look gorgeous on you, JJJewels

Thank you for the comparison swatches!

 

[AdelieDragon]

@babycheri: Thank you My lip shape is one of the things I like about myself, though I do find my lips to be on the thinner side. Thank God these lippies don't emphasize that too much! X_x

Anywho, I finally had sunlight today so I took full-face pictures with both "Punk Couture" and "Instigator." I have to say, both are difficult to apply because (a) they tug at the lips a bit as mattes, (b) they are dark (lolreally?) and I have no experience with dark lipsticks, and (c) they both do apply patchily, though "Punk Couture" is by far worse. I couldn't get either of them to apply evenly and it took time and cleaning up the edges to make them good enough for camera (which was still far from perfect). Lip liner will probably help but as my lips are pale and they don't have a truly defined line by color, I find liner difficult to apply nicely as well. Now that I've tried "Punk Couture" on completely, I do notice the 'blue-ish' tint it has but it's still not as pronounced as I expected. Either way, "Instigator" is, not surprisingly, more flattering on me and I do like it more.

First picture is with "Punk Couture," second is with "Instigator":






My skin is sh*t because my body finally realized that I'm off birth control and my hormones are garbage again, but oh well such is life. It almost looks like I have the subtlest ombre lip with these because the inner part of my lower lip tends to not grab color for whatever reason. Usually lipsticks will even themselves out after 20 minutes or so and it won't be noticeable but these 2 refuse to. ;( I applied lip balm beforehand so I don't know if that might have something to do with the unevenness. *Shrugs.*

Still happy to own both.

I just got some of my order. I instantly put on the No Apologies lipglass and I'm not impressed. It's very sheer. I can barely see any color
