A Supreme Tint

With my MAC collection slowly expanding (due to the recent addition of a new lipstick), it has led me to re-discover the MAC section of my lip products drawer - the "sacred" corner that I hardly ever touch - and it has made me realize how much I really love each one. The one I will be featuring today was a gift in my US makeup swap and has been my go-to lip product of choice recently.

Besides light baby pinks, the other colour that I tend to go for on the lips is corals. I don't often wear straight up coral-oranges but I do love me a good, pinky-coral shade. So, when I was generously given the MAC Sheen Supreme Lipglass Tint in Kiss, Kiss I was quite excited but also a bit hesitant as the name suggests a 'lipgloss' type of product, which I am typically not fond of.

Unfortunately, this product seems to have been limited edition as part of their past 'So Supreme' collection (which may make this review a bit redundant) but I wanted to share it with you anyway.

It features a brush type applicator where it requires some winding and clicking of the other end to get the liquid product to come out the top. Surely I am not the only one in saying that this kind of applicator frustrates me to no end. You seemingly always have to constantly twist and twist until all the built-up product leads to an explosion of a glossy, hot mess. Literally while taking photos for this post, it randomly spurted out some product.

I am sad to say that even MAC cannot avoid such a disaster but I have already grown accustomed to storing the product standing up, so it doesn't lead to sticky hands and surfaces the next time I go to use it.

Let's move onto the actual product shall we?

The formula is pretty much that of a lipgloss, minus the stickiness. It definitely lives up to its name of a "sheen supreme" as it leaves your lips positively glossy, a bit plump and almost juicy looking (which I love). I fail to see how it is a "tint" though as it provides impressive pigmentation and can easily achieve a full, coral opacity on the lips.

Kiss, Kiss is a gorgeous colour. I would dare say it is a perfect coral shade for me. Not too coral that it borders on orange, yet has the right amounts of pink. I can easily pop this shade on for everyday wear and I find that when it wears off, it leaves a lovely pinky stain on the lips.

What I have been personally loving is dabbing two or three dots in the inside of my lips, creating a Korean-inspired lip tint - that looks like you've just eaten a cherry.

Overall, the formula of the MAC Sheen Supreme Lipglass Tint is pretty darn nice and this is coming from someone who prefers lipsticks to glosses. Dodgy applicator aside, it leaves a nice stain to your lips and creates the look of juicy, glossy lips.


The MAC Sheen Supreme Lipglass Tints are available from MAC Cosmetics (Australia) for RRP$43.
