I can barely get 1-2 of wear if I don't eat and I only drink from a straw.

The Lustre lipsticks move around as you speak and transfer to anything, worse even than a gloss. The coverage is very sheer, almost stain like (which is not bad) the moment you try to build up coverage it all gets gloopy and messy. My issue is that personally I dislike the MAC Lustre formula. The sheen is very beautiful, quite subtle. On me it doesn't look warm or yellow it's actually translating to a pink-red, with neutral tones (but with some yellowness) it's such a unique color because the pink vibes are not `Barbie-pink`. MAC Cockney is an amazing and unique red, but since I dislike the MAC Lustre formula I can't give it more than 3-stars.īright reds usually don't look flattering on me, but MAC Cockney is definitely an exception. Just use some lip balm to hydrate before applying it and you're ready to go. It definitely isn't an everyday shade (one I would wear to work or a morning stroll with friends) but it's perfect for a night out, paired with brown smokey eyes, to brighten up the makeup and make it look fresh and youthful. Ever since that day, it lives comfortably in my everyday makeup bag, ready to be used and cherished whenever I get to go on a night out. Those two lipsticks may not look identical in the tube, but on my lips are almost the same colour (potent is a bit warmer and lighter-nothing I can't look past). And one day, I just thought 'Why don't I just use 'please me' to see if it compliments this eye makeup?' and it all came together. I've tested every possible one I found on Temptalia's dupe list, but some of them are also discontinued. That's when I started searching for a decent dupe.

My one true love is Estee Lauder's Potent (310), but the company discontinued it.

It used to reside in my lipstick drawer, but I didn't use it as much, since sometimes it applies a bit funny (a bit uneven, when my lips get dry and flaky). I always like it as a lipstick I would grab every now and then. I've owned MAC's 'PLEASE ME' for several years by now.

Mac dare you lipstick on dark skin
