Other readers who have smelled the formula in person did not catch any rubber/off-putting scent (my husband thought it smelled weird, not bad per se, but couldn't be more specific), and when I went back to double check each shade, each one of mine still had that rubbery note.īrowse all of our MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick swatches.ĭimethicone, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Polyethylene, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Zeolite, Kaolin, Alumina, Silica, Silica Dimethyl Silylate (Nano), Polysilicone-11, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Flavor (Aroma), Sodium Saccharin, Tocopherol, ĭisclaimer: Ingredient lists are as available by the brand (or retailer) at the time of publishing. The scent did not linger for long, so it wasn't something that I detected throughout the wear, but it had a strong, sweet taste that was present until it was gone.

I personally found the scent of these to be noticeably different, both that it was sweeter and less vanilla-based but I also got a strong rubber scent that came through. They lasted between two and a half and six hours with deeper shades, unsurprisingly, lasting longer than the ultra-light ones. There were a few very light shades, which did not apply as evenly and had a tendency to catch on any imperfections on my lips, whereas the deeper shades went on more smoothly and looked more flattering on as they were less likely to emphasize texture. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque with deeper shades having more coverage. The consistency was lightweight, thin, and velvety with a bit of slip (a little like a silicone primer to me) and was comfortable to wear with a non-drying to lightly hydrating feel. Like any finish with slight shine, they did wear down to a more, flat matte finish within an hour or so of wear.

MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.10 oz.) is supposed to feel 'weightless' with a 'blur of effortless soft-focus color.' Per the brand, the formula 'provides immediate and long-term hydration' while 'blur lines and smooth lips' and having 'zero-shine.' They have a bit of shine and slip I wouldn't call them zero-shine so much as very smooth and more like a natural or soft matte finish.
