Texture:
Twig from MAC has a creamy texture that glides smoothly onto the lips, making it incredibly easy to apply. The formula is semi-matte, providing a balance between a matte and hydrating finish. This texture ensures that the lipstick stays in place for a long time without drying out the lips.
Pigmentation:
Twig from MAC is highly pigmented. A single swipe delivers excellent coverage to the lips.
Lasting:
Although Twig from MAC is a high-quality lipstick, it’s important to note that its semi-matte formula does impact its longevity.
While it stays put for a decent amount of time, it does require occasional touch-ups throughout the day, particularly after eating or drinking. While the formula may not be as long-lasting as some other matte lipsticks, it does provide a more comfortable and hydrating wear experience. So, if you’re willing to reapply occasionally, Twig’s semi-matte formula is a great choice for a comfortable and easy-to-wear nude lipstick.
Scent: Twig from MAC has a delightful light and bubbly scent, reminiscent of candy. This scent is not overpowering, nor does it irritate the skin. Instead, it arouses the olfactory senses and adds to the overall experience of wearing the lipstick. The scent is subtle enough not to clash with any other fragrances you may be wearing, yet still brings out the femininity of the wearer. With Twig, you’ll not only look good, but you’ll also feel good thanks to its delightful scent.
Price: Twig from MAC is not only a high-quality product and I consider that it is affordable due to its longevity.
Ingredient List: While most of the ingredients in Twig from MAC are considered safe, there are a few that have the potential to trigger allergic reactions, especially for those with sensitive skin. These ingredients include Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Bismuth Oxychloride, and Ozokerite.
Additionally, Twig contains Carmine, which is a red dye obtained from crushed cochineal insects which are found on cacti in South America and Mexico. For those who have ethical or religious objections, this ingredient may be problematic.
