Thanks It’s MAC— Is It Worth The Hype?
Hi, glamazons! I went lipstick shopping again and got another bullet from MAC Cosmetics. This time in the shade Thanks, It’s MAC. I may be late to the party but since I’ve only recently seen this shade on my feed, I basically just checked out every Tiktok video featuring it.
Almost every video I saw was raving at how beautiful and flattering it was and some even claiming it was one of those universally flattering shades that come out every now and then from a brand.
I only found one video that didn’t agree with all the positive reception so I decided to get it and decide for myself if it was indeed worth all the hype.
Thanks, It’s MAC is a lusterglass lipstick that is quite moisturizing and has a slight shine to it. If you swatch it on your arm, it is actually very pretty with a teeny tiny hint of shimmer.
On my lips alone, however, it looked kinda pale and almost concealer-like. Pigmentation-wise it wasn’t as I expected because I need about 2 coats of it. For me, personally it looked more like a tinted lip balm than a lipstick. I have nothing against tinted balms but for pricey lipsticks, I expect more pigmentation and oomph. It does benefit from lining the lips with a darke brown liner, though and makes the lips look plump.
Pros:
Moisturizing
Feels light on the lips
Makes the lips look plump and hydrated
Cons:
Too pale for my skin tone
Transfers easily
Melts easily
Needs a dark lipliner to work for me
Works more like tinted lip balm for me
I think it’s a beautiful shade but I think I just don’t like the finish it comes in because I prefer mattes. It’s my first time to try luster glass and I didn’t like it all that much to be honest. Again, that is just a personal preference.
It doesn’t look like lipstick on my lips and if I don’t use a dark liner, it looks like I don’t have lips at all. It works great with a dark brown lip liner though.
Personally, it just wasn’t very flattering on its own on my lips with my skin tone. For your reference, I am an NC 35-40 for MAC. It could also just be entirely possible that I’m wearing it wrong too. I’m gonna experiment on it some more to see how I can make it work for me.
Thanks for dropping by and may the glam be with you always! :)
