Sexy But Sweet
MAC Sexy But Sweet Powder Kiss Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium pink with neutral-to-cool undertones and a satin finish. It had a bit more sheen to it for the first hour or so compared to other shades in the range. The texture was velvety and thin, which gave it an incredibly lightweight feel on my lips, but it didn’t sit as well as it could have–definitely did not blur imperfections as marketed! It had semi-opaque color payoff that lasted well for four hours and felt non-drying.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.1 oz. - $190.00 Per Ounce
MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.10 oz.) is supposed to feel "weightless" with a "blur of effortless soft-focus color." Per the brand, the formula "provides immediate and long-term hydration" while "blur[ring] lines and smooth[ing] lips" and having "zero-shine." They have a bit of shine and slip; I wouldn't call them zero-shine so much as very smooth and more like a natural or soft matte finish. Like any finish with slight shine, they did wear down to a more, flat matte finish within an hour or so of wear. The consistency was lightweight, thin, and velvety with a bit of slip (a little like a silicone primer to me) and was comfortable to wear with a non-drying to lightly hydrating feel.
The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque with deeper shades having more coverage. There were a few very light shades, which did not apply as evenly and had a tendency to catch on any imperfections on my lips, whereas the deeper shades went on more smoothly and looked more flattering on as they were less likely to emphasize texture. They lasted between two and a half and six hours with deeper shades, unsurprisingly, lasting longer than the ultra-light ones.
I personally found the scent of these to be noticeably different, both that it was sweeter and less vanilla-based but I also got a strong rubber scent that came through. The scent did not linger for long, so it wasn't something that I detected throughout the wear, but it had a strong, sweet taste that was present until it was gone. Other readers who have smelled the formula in person did not catch any rubber/off-putting scent (my husband thought it smelled weird, not bad per se, but couldn't be more specific), and when I went back to double check each shade, each one of mine still had that rubbery note.

Stay Curious
MAC Stay Curious Powder Kiss Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, medium copper with warm, reddish undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had nearly full color coverage in one pass paired with a smooth, velvety consistency that was very lightweight and thin but did not feel overly clingy. The product applied evenly but settled slightly into my lip lines, though not enough to be noticeable in person. It stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating while worn.
