I am truly a lipstick collector at heart, but I have been in a bit of a rut lately. Between the liquid lipstick craze and companies making the same shades, I really haven’t seen anything worth purchasing. Well… it seems as if the MAC Gods have answered my prayers once again with the release of The Matte Lip Collection (2015). This collection features 22 classic suede-like finish shades, with 12 new Matte and Retro Matte Lipsticks ($16). MAC promises a pop of colour that will linger on your lips with impressive staying power. See the list below for lipsticks in the collection, separated my Matte and Retro Matte Finishes. Any italicized lipsticks are new to MAC. I will also be listing MAC dupes for those that don’t want to have identical shades in their collection. Feast your eyes on the sophisticated allure of matte!
