Sealed with a Kiss!
We've got a lipstick from MAC Cosmetics that almost stole the top spot as our favorite—but missed the mark by just a smidge. But hey, MAC lovers, no shade here if you still want to add it to your vanity!
MAC Cosmetics, born in the lively city of Toronto back in 1984, is the brainchild of makeup legends Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo. This iconic brand, now operating from London under the Estée Lauder umbrella, has been the holy grail for makeup lovers who adore bold, statement-making looks. With a name that stands for Make-Up Art Cosmetics, MAC has always been about pushing beauty boundaries with its super-pigmented, full-coverage products.
We know, it’s a bit surprising that we’re talking about MAC again after so many years. But just as beauty trends shift, so does the makeup scene. After TikTok's "Soft Girl Makeup" trend, where dewy, natural vibes are all the rage, MAC did get a little off-track. While MAC's products have always been about making a splash, this wave of soft, barely-there beauty has been a bit of a curveball for a brand known for its dramatic impact.
This month, we've got a lipstick from MAC that we never thought they'd miss the mark on. Seriously, for a brand ranked 74th globally, our expectations were way higher. First off, the packaging—total letdown! We'll happily hand out kudos for the color range, especially that bold poppy red in the lineup. If you're all about red lipstick, this one could be your new bestie—just make sure it doesn’t leave your lips feeling like a desert (iykyk)!
