Three lipsticks were launched for the MAC By Request Collection, where fans voted for three of their favorite lipsticks to be brought back temporarily. Candy Yum-Yum, Moxie, and Rocker were the three lipsticks that received the most votes. I purchased two of the three and decided to pass on Candy Yum-Yum because it was such a blue-based pink, and I typically don’t wear blue based pink lip colors because they are unflattering to my skin tone. These two shades are absolutely gorgeous, and they will be great additions to my fall makeup routine. Keep reading for swatches,
The texture is wonderful for a matte lipstick. All matte lip products tend to be on the drier side, so be sure your lips aren’t chapped and are properly moisturized. Since these lipsticks are matte, they tend to last a really long time on the lips, even through eating and drinking. The matte formula almost feels more like a “stain” on my lips and lasts for hours.
Overall: The formula on these matte shades is great and gave me no problems. Remember to keep your lips hydrated when wearing matte lip products because they tend to dry out your lips and highlight any imperfections.

Even though these have a matte finish they still make your lips good and non-cakey.
