MAC Art Library Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Down to an Art
MAC Down to an Art Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, medium rosy coral with soft, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation, but it seemed to have a heavier, thicker texture that was prone to emphasizing my natural lip texture and lines to a small degree. I found that as it wore, it separated more noticeably along my deeper lip lines. It had a lightly creamy, denser texture that didn’t tug on my lips and was comfortable to wear overall. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and was non-drying.

Formula Overview
$18.50/0.1 oz. - $185.00 Per Ounce
MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying. Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying. The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Soar
MAC Soar Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a deep mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque in one layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips comfortably. The texture felt denser, a little thicker than the average lipstick these days, but it wasn’t heavy and wasn’t emphasizing of my texture like Down to an Art was. It wore well for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

You Wouldn't Get It
MAC You Wouldn’t Get It Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single stroke, which adhered evenly for the most part, but there was slight separation along my deeper lip lines. It wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance initially but after three hours of wear, the settling visibly worsened. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating over the four hours it lasted total.
