REVIEW:

Mocha is a Satin finish lipstick. This is the first Satin finish lipstick by MAC to be reviewed on our blog today. A satin lipstick offers great colour pay off with an almost but not quite, matte finish without being drying on the lips. As the opacity is high with this formulation, the wear time is also relatively good.

This lipstick comes in a black, hard plastic container with MAC printed on it in silver. Mocha is basically a Peach with brown undertones. It is one excellent nude colours MAC has come up with! Although I'm more of a pink, red and a coral person but when I first saw this shade online I knew it was the perfect nude for me. Most nude shades tend to make my overall complexion really pale for unknown reasons and I was expecting the same to some degree from Mocha too but it didn't let me down! I usually pair this lip colour with a black or brown smokey eye look and it enhances my overall look so well. 

Satin finish is the best I swear. It is something in between Amplified finish and a Matte finish. It appears as a matte finish but at the same time it is not at all drying. Having said that I literally feel my lips are moisturised and hydrated the entire time I'm wearing this on my lips. This is my to-go-colour for winters! 

I am someone who always thought browns are for the aged ones, hehe (No offense!). But after having this gorgeous peachy-brown colour my perception towards browns have changed. This is one magical colour which I believe would look the best on cooler skin tones. Although it matches my Asian skin tone very well too. For the reference I am NC 30. It can be worn during the day time as well as evening both. I wear it to school and formal occasions both. 

The consistency of the lipstick is very creamy. And it glides onto my lips smoothly without putting any effort. The colour is 100% buildable. So make sure when you're applying it, because if you layer it on more it will show up more as a dark brown colour rather than a warm peachy brown. So it's up to you, how ever you like it. It is not transfer-resistant. Does not bleed if applied with a lip liner.
