The eight new shades of MAC Powder Kiss Lipsticks, $19 each
Ain’t no party like a lip flake party ’cause a lip flake party don’t stop!

Whoa, Nelly! So I tried the new MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick colors today. They join the 16 shades that are already in the permanent line, and despite the crossing of lots of fingers and toes that my lip flakes wouldn’t crash this swatch soiree, alas…they did.

Lip flakes —> party crashers!

It’s entirely my fault, to be fair, because I haven’t been drinking enough water, and whenever that happens, I can pretty much kiss (ha ha) any chance of smooth lip swatches g’bye.

The MAC Powder Kisses, which are a relatively new formula in the MAC fam, feel lighter than air. The Powder Kisses themselves were added to the permanent line in the fall of 2018, and if your lips are in best shape (as in no flakes), they’re kind of amaze-balls. They’re incredibly comfy and ever-so-slightly moisturizing, and it’s easy to forget I’m wearing them.

And the velvet matte finish? Gorgeous! — a la hottie 1940’s pin-up girl.

From this new batch of colors, I’d steer clear of the pinks (Reverence and sexy but Sweet), because they’re patchy ideal out of the gate, and I end up having to do a lot of patting and layering and babying to get them to look smooth…

Instead, choose one of brighter or deeper colors, which are less likely to clear up into fine lines or draw attention to any flakes. I like Sultry step (the bright rosy brown); Werk, Werk, Werk (the amazing toned red); and velvet Punch (a bright, amazing fuchsia) the best as they’re the most pigmented of the bunch.

One layer, and I’m good.

Which one do you like best?
Yellow-toned pink MAC Sexy, but Sweet
MAC Ripened, a grayish lavender

MAC P for Potent, a mid-toned purple

MAC velvet Punch, a bright, cool-toned fuchsia

MAC Sultry Move, a bright rosy brown
Cool red MAC Werk, Werk, Werk
MAC stay Curious, a muted pinky red
MAC Reverence, a soft, yellow pink
The Powder Kiss Lipsticks are $19 each, last about two hours on my lips, and taste and smell like classic MAC vanilla.

Mmm…
