MAC Autumn Russet Grand Illusion Liquid Lipcolour

Autumn Russet
MAC Autumn Russet Grand Illusion Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium copper with warm, reddish undertones and fine gold, pink, and copper pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was slightly buildable, but it allowed my natural lip color to come through and resulted in a rosier tone to it than I think the color actually had on its own. The consistency was smooth, moderately sticky, and comfortable to wear, and the gloss didn’t well up in my lip lines. It wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Burberry Coral (P, $29.00) is brighter (90% similar).Smashbox Rose Magic (LE, $24.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar).Lancome Orange Ore (03) (P, $22.00) is darker, brighter (85% similar).Smashbox Haterade (P, $24.00) is darker (85% similar).Ciate Nova (P, $18.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar).MAC Enchanter (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (80% similar).Urban Decay Dirty Talk (P, $20.00) is darker, cooler (80% similar).Revlon HD Citrine (550) (P, $8.99) is brighter, warmer (80% similar).More dupes — click to see the full list!Formula Overview
$21.00/0.17 oz. – $123.53 Per OunceThe formula is supposed to “wear evenly” with “megawatt colour” and have a “tingly, cooling sensation” that makes lips “fuller.” The coverage ranged from shade to shade, though most were fairly pigmented, and some seemed more multidimensional than others (they seemed just shimmery/pearly). Some shades applied evenly while others were more uneven or pulled into lip lines.
The finish had a lot of shine and shimmer, so any unevenness/settling wasn’t as apparent in person as it might appear in close-up photos. The consistency was smooth as it applied and developed a lot of tackiness within a minute or so of application, and the tingling lasted noticeably for 20-25 minutes on me. The glosses lasted between four and five hours on me and were comfortable to wear but was mostly non-drying.
They have a sweet, mint scent and subtle tingle and almost seemed to have a slightly sweet taste, but I couldn’t tell as I felt like I was breathing in the sweet mint a bit from the scent alone.

MAC Dance All Night Grand Illusion Liquid Lipcolour

Dance All Night
MAC Dance All Night Grand Illusion Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, cool undertones and a metallic, lightly glossy finish. The gloss had semi-opaque pigmentation with a smooth, light-medium thick consistency that was moderately tacky (took a few minutes to get there) but applied evenly across my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It stayed on well for four hours and was non-drying.
