MAC 991 Review – One of the Hottest Shades in the Market
MAC introduces the highly popular Powder Kiss line, a matte bullet lipstick with a smooth finish, creating a new sensation for the brand. Following the success of Powder Kiss lipstick, the brand unveils the pinnacle – Powder Kiss Liquid lipstick, maintaining the matte allure in a creamy form.
If you're familiar with this edition, the name Devoted To Chili must ring a bell. While the color palette remains the iconic brick-red, MAC 991 has its own charm, distinct from MAC 316 in the same Devoted To Chili series. Explore the subtle differences below; there are plenty of exciting features to discover.
The aesthetics of MAC 991 liquid lipstick
This one has a resemblance to the previous Retro Matte Liquid line. However, instead of a glossy black exterior, MAC 991 liquid lipstick features a matte black bullet-shaped cap and a textured body. Overall, it exudes a more stylish look, not as shiny as the previous generation of liquid lipsticks. The brush head has a unique sand-like design, captivating and not to be taken lightly. The slightly indented center of the brush adds a magical touch to lip application. It may seem a bit unusual at first, but once you get used to it, you'll be hooked.
What's the structure of MAC 991 liquid lipstick like?
As mentioned, this is a liquid lipstick, an upgrade from the Powder Kiss bullet lipstick. It maintains a matte yet incredibly smooth texture. The color payoff is not as intense as the previous Retro Matte Liquid line, but it's an advantage, preventing the lipstick from drying out.
The lipstick applies evenly, providing perfect coverage. This shade reminds me of Bourjois, creating a delightful resemblance. If you've been a fan of Bourjois lipsticks, this one is a true gem, offering an even more luxurious upgrade.
The color longevity is also a positive aspect.
MAC 991 Lipstick – the universally adored brick-red shade
MAC is renowned for its lineup of iconic brick-red shades, from early favorites like Chili and Marrakesh to the upgraded versions like Devoted To Chili in both bullet and liquid form. The brick-red is perfectly balanced, not too orange or brown, with a harmonious blend of three shades. It adapts beautifully to vibrant or muted lip tones, delivering a super chic, Western, and adorable look. This is truly a national favorite, a mesmerizing shade that captivates anyone who wears it.
If you're wondering which MAC lipstick to get, don't hesitate – go for MAC 991 liquid lipstick. It's a unanimous recommendation for everyone.
What about the price?
In Vietnam, this line is widely available, and the MAC 991 liquid lipstick, despite being a hot shade, is reasonably priced, ranging from 550k to 650k VND. Keep an eye out for occasional sales on e-commerce platforms or during festive seasons. Grab it on a deal and enjoy the affordability.
Many overseas shops are consistently stocking up on this shade. Being the national brick-red, it suits everyone. The liquid lipstick is convenient, not too intense in color, adheres well to the lips, and is less prone to smudging compared to bullet lipsticks – it's a highly satisfying choice.
I'm sure I'll repurchase this shade multiple times. If you're thinking of gifting, I recommend this one to everyone. Hopefully, this review proves helpful to fellow lipstick enthusiasts.
