This has a true matte finish but still glides on and feels creamy and comfortable on my lips. It's definitely brighter than your usual neutral lipstick but is still very everyday-appropriate. I don't know how I'd never picked this up before - it's a sort of warm pink nude with slightly salmon undertones. It's another Satin finish, and a much more recent addition to my stash. It has the same sort of formula as Faux, though as it's a deeper plummier mauve tone, it does transfer a little (though it still wears well, leaving a nice stain on the lips even after the sheen is gone).

This was only my second-ever MAC lipstick and, though I don't use it as much as I once did, it's been a firm favourite for a very long time. It comes in the creamy, pigmented Satin formula that's kind of like a matte but with a slight sheen and is just a bit more comfortable to wear. However, it's really lovely paired with the deeper, plummier Soar lip pencil.

This light mauve-pink isn't something I can wear on its own because it does have a tendency to wash me out (that's just on my skin tone though). This is a warm, almost bright, pinky-brown tone. It definitely has less of a sheen and is more opaque than the Cremesheen and I find it nice and long-lasting. It's a lovely, super-pigmented formula with a creamy, comfortable texture. This lipstick range is slightly different to the main collection and costs £1 more. There's nothing wrong with it as such it's just not really much of anything! It's a kind of warm plummy brown-mauve nude that just doesn't look that special on my skin tone. This is one of those shades I know I should get more use out of but for whatever reason, I rarely seem to reach for it. They're very comfortable to wear and this is my go-to shade for Spring a muted pinky-nude that's deep enough to suit my skin tone.

Although the shine tends to wear off within a couple of hours, I find that it still leaves behind a nice stain of colour.

This is MAC's creamy, sheeny (but still very pigmented) formula. This is pretty much a perfect 'my lips but better' shade on me and I wear it so much, whether paired with a brown smoky eye in the evening or on a work day. This has a very similar texture and formula to Velvet Teddy but for me personally, I find the warmer beige tone of it to suit me better. This is a mid-light brown with pinky-taupe undertones that has just enough warmth that it doesn't wash me out, though personally I love to pair it with the more red-toned Spice lip pencil. I tend to find the nude mattes from MAC to be creamy and comfortable, despite giving a true matte finish that lasts for hours. This is one of those super hyped-up shades and, whilst it's one I really like, I do think there are better nudes for me personally in MAC's range. This is one of my everyday go-tos and is one of the only traditional lipsticks that I've almost completely finished! It's very similar in formulation to Syrup and is just a nice sheer, sheeny lip colour in a warm brown nude. It's sheer but has a nice amount of pigment, though obviously isn't the most long-lasting. It's an interesting pinky mauve colour that's warm enough not to wash me out. This is one of those shades that's so easy to wear! I used to reach for it a lot but haven't in a while, so I'm definitely going to pop it into my everyday makeup drawer now.
