MAC Early Buzz - News on Products for 2013

I'm getting rid of all my lustres! It used to be the only formula I'll wear. Now it's the only one i won't!

Lustres to me are like every other lipstick by other make up companies out there. Satins and Mattes (Mattenes too) are the main lippies I focus on, because MAC really does those well. Okay, maybe Amplified and Cremesheens too. But I have too many Lustres and they don't last long at all.

Really? The newest lustres from 2012 were really good - good coverage, good wear, comfortable/not drying. Stuff like Flamingo, Cusp of Dawn, Venus, Pink Popcorn…..

I never liked the old lustres that were so sheer and drying, even though I have a soft spot for Pervette.

Of those i only have cusp of dawn. Haven't touched it.

For my coloring (NC15 with red lips), that is seriously one of the best nude lipsticks I own. Very understated, but has a certain something. I have BUs galore.

i actually love lustres and mattes. nothing in between. like lustres are good for the no makeup looks and mattes are good for every occasion!
i agree liba, lustres are not drying. i only have the 2011-012- ones not old ones. maybe those were bad?

The old ones would chap my lips pretty easily.

I love mattes because they just look better on me. Are you getting rid of your lustres because of the finish or the "snow" that they have a tendency to form??

Just the finish. When i first started in makeup, I'd only wear gloss. No lipstick ever! Then lustres (high tea, plink) with gloss on top. No liner. Now i wear bold mattes with liner or my signature nude creme d nude, alone or with a nude gloss on top. I only use lustres on clients now. The "snow" isn't harmful tho. Just wipe and go!

Im the same!!! give me mattes and im happy!! almost twins in both your posts here!

I feel the same. I don`t understand why they put out so many lovely colors and so many ls in this formula, which I find drying and it stays so little on lips. MAtte & amplified are my favorites. I could use a colored lipbalm instead of a luster with the same effect but more nurturing

oh, Lustre... I've got mixes feelings too, due to the fact I've got pigmented lips (MLBB? Craving XD or Plumful if I want to accentuate the plum side of them, but I have to go really heavy with it because of its finish...); plus the staying power is different from colour to colour (I've got Cyndi and Milan Mode, the second one is better the the viva glam...)
Every time I read "Lustre" on a colour story... I skip that lipstick ^^;;;

 

[Fiberluver]

I no longer purchase lustres, glazes, cremesheens,and frosts.

It's satins, mattes, mattenes and amplifieds or nada.
Mattes and mattenes are my absolute favs.
LOVE THEM!

 

[Misato-san]

I do love frosts instead XDDDD because I think they are buildable or with goog pigmentation (like my first MAC lippie ever, Costa Chic).
My favourite finish is Amplified, btw. And Satin. And I like Mattene and Prolongwears. XD

Mattes, mattenes, amps, satins, in that order.

I must be in the pro-lustre-minority

 

[ladyarwen]

What's this "snow" that was mentioned with lustres?

 

[VampyCouture]

I have a good collection of Mac lipsticks and I don't own nor have ever purchased a lustre. Based off these comments and my extra drying lips, I'm okay with that!

 

[vaisforluvrs]

It's the stuff that looks like dust on the lipsticks. Check the strength thread for more info.

 

[Mac-Guy]

I like lustres too! Mattes tend to dry my lips (eps. NARS matte ls) and lustres really don't. Although I was very surprised with the strength mattes since they have a bit more moisture.
