MAC Mattes 2015
I’ve seen more discussion on the forthcoming MAC Mattes lipstick range than almost any other of late, and finally I’ve managed to get my hands on a couple of them. MAC collections are always difficult to explain because often they feature re-releases, existing shades, new colours or a mixture of everything, and picking them apart is … from my end at least… like doing homework. I’m sure there’s a spreadsheet app or something that might help!
So, there are 22 lipsticks – split into Retro Matte finish and Matte finish – the majority are new colours, but some old favorites are back, such as Ruby Woo. They’re all being added to the permanent line up. Honestly, I don’t think it will belong before you can do a degree in MAC.
MAC Mattes 2015The colours are D for Danger (bottom) and Men Love Mystery. The colour line up is eclectic in parts – check out Matte Royale which is a deep blue. As you’d expect, they’re a full on colour saturation – retro Mattes are even more flat in look than the regular mattes but the difference in the finishes I think is for the real lipstick conoisseur – I can’t tell the difference.

I’m not a fan of mattes – you need incredibly smooth lips to do it well and for your lips not to turn into a pair that looks like they’ve been sucking a lemon for the last ten hours, but the fact that MAC are bringing out more mattes indicates that the matte trend is going nowhere. Damn. I’d like to see it disappear forever!
For a full and exhaustive look at the selection, head over to Temptalia (who probably has got a degree in MAC) HERE.
There’s also news of a MAC Ellie Goulding collaboration heading our way later in the year. MAC Mattes 2015 launches in August.

Yes, I noticed Velvet Teddy is in the collection, I own it have done for ages. Love the love of the Men Love Mystery.
The Ellie Goulding is out in December!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW long wait
I am so happy that these will be perm. That means I can use the b2m to get a few of them. I would otherwise never be able to justify to myself getting a blue lipstick! XD
The light purple shade is gorgeous x

What is the top you are wearing? I love the sleeve!
thanks.. I bought it Spain I think a couple of years ago.
I find it really hard to get excited about Mac collections and I feel like they turn out a new one every few weeks. So much of it is usually repromotions- I’m just really missing the innovation factor. I feel like there are some really interesting brands like IT cosmetics and Colourpop in the states that are doing far more ground breaking things than Mac has done in ages. I can’t get hot and bothered about a repackaged, cinderella themed nude lipgloss. However different strokes! 🙂
I’m dying to see Colourpop – they don’t ship so haven’t been able to get hold of any yet.
Totally agree Yasmine it’s about overkill on too many promotions and honestly less is more. I’m really s bit bored with mac
I don’t agree about Matte lipsticks, maybe you haven’t tried the Mac ones, because these are really smooth and work really well. I’ve never had an issue with their application and they last really long. And they’re not drying at all.
These look amazing!! I love the purple tones shade you’ve picked up x
