MAC Syrup Lipstick (Rs 990 for 3gm) can be purchased from MAC store.
I generally go for bright and bold shades but sometimes, we need lighter and subtle shades as well. This is such a shade that compliments many looks and can be an MLBB shade for some.
Shade- MAC describes syrup as ‘cloudy pink’ .However, for me it is a muted mauve pink with slight berry tones.It is a lustre finish shade sans any shimmer. The shade comes out beautifully on all skin tones.
Packaging- MAC Syrup is a permanent range shade having matte black bullet with shade name at the bottom. It is sturdy and travel friendly. However, it becomes difficult to find the needed shade if you have many MAC lipsticks kept together in stash.
Texture & Formula- The texture of the lipstick is smooth providing a glossy finish to lips. It is light weight and very hydrating. Being lustre finish, this adds a healthy sheen to lips. MAC Syrup doesn’t accentuate flaky skin and good for those having dry lips. The lipstick has vanilla fragrance that is pleasant.
Pigmentation- MAC Syrup is sheer in single swipe but it can be built up to full coverage with 3-4 swipes. It has a glossy finish which leaves ‘wet look’ on lips. The formula is creamy and it never bleeds even on over application. However, it can form lines when the lips are pressed against each other.
Staying Power- The staying power is around 2 ½ -3 hours maximum as it is a sheer shade and lustre finish. It fades evenly leaving the lips supple and soft but it never leaves any stain.
Overall Thoughts
I love MAC’s Lustre finish and the shade along with the formula is a perfect combination for me. I like the warmth that Syrup adds to my face and it can be paired with any look. It is a great shade for Au natural look. The texture is creamy. The formula is light weight and very comfortable. It is great for winters as it keeps lips hydrated and moisturised.
Though MAC Syrup is not highly pigmented, it is decent enough to cover pigmented lips. The staying power is average being lustre finish but it fades evenly and doesn’t dry out lips. Syrup is a great that that compliments all skin tones and I highly recommend having this. Everything about this particular lipstick is great.
