MAC SunTints SPF 20 Liquid Lip Balm Swatches and Review

I've had the opportunity to try these new liquid lip balms from MAC. First of all, these are lip balms as described, so these are very moisturizing but give only the sheerest color on the lips. This product is great for summer as it pampers the lips with healing emollients and yet give sun protection on the lips. Honestly, I live in a very hot environment during summer, and I am very particular about slathering sunscreen on my face (nothing lower than SPF 90) and my body (I use SPF 100). But I ALWAYS forget to put sunscreen on my lips. This product is probably the best product for me. It has the famous MAC vanilla scent. The texture is not sticky, and it reminds me of MAC's lip gelees, but a bit thicker.

Suntints SPF20 liquid lip balm has 5 variants. Just a Smidge is a soft pastel yellow with multi-colored pearl, Lilt of Lily is a soft creamy pale pink, Pink Tinge is a clean bright yellow pink with gold pearl, Full of Grace is soft sheer rose, and Moist Plum is a light lilac with very fine pearl. Moist Plum is my favorite and will be getting one today. I tried it on my lips and it gives just a whisper of lilac tinge on the lips, but packs on shine and amazing luster.

I have many different kinds of lip balms, but what I like about this is the convenient squeeze tube, as I don't like dipping my fingers in pots like those tinted lip conditioners from MAC. I also like the pretty shades and the sunscreen. Remember that this is a lip balm and not lip gloss or lipstick, so you might not get a lot of pigment. You can try these at your MAC counter or store. Hurry as this is a limited edition product and stocks might not last.

MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15: Detailed Information and Swatches

MAKEUP MULTITASKING: MOISTURE, COVERAGE AND UV PROTECTION ALL IN ONE
NEW M·A·C COSMETICS STUDIO MOISTURE TINT SPF 15

M·A·C is first and foremost a makeup artistry brand, but that is not to say that our treatment products aren’t heavy-hitters. The key point of difference in M·A·C skincare is that they were developed specifically to be used in conjunction with makeup. Most treatment products are designed for efficacy while being used alone, whereas M·A·C products are made to enhance the makeup experience.

Enter Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15, this sheer formula is no lightweight when it comes to performance. With a powerful selection of ingredients and skin beautifying effects, M·A·C’s latest debut, evens out skin tone with minimal colour, provides SPF 15 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and increases moisture levels.

It is perfect for busy women without time for a moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation or for women who prefer something lighter than traditional foundations. Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15 offers just the lightest touch of coverage. It smoothes on easily and requires minimal blending to create a flawless look, while concealing imperfections without entering into mask-like territory. This exceptional tinted moisturizer offers a cocktail of skin-loving elements normally found in treatment products.

In addition to hiding small imperfections and discolorations, this unique makeup multi-tasker is packed with a plethora of preventative and reparative extracts and boosts skin’s health with continued use. Soothing aloe and lecithin, combined with anti-irritant caffeine and sucrose extracts, helps all skin types defend against environmental aggravations. Humectants such as sodium hyaluronate and glycerin ensure optimal moisture levels, which are protected by added cholesterol to assist in repairing the skin’s lipid barrier. Collagen-stimulating palmitoyl oligopeptides help in repairing the appearance of past injuries and encourage skin to act in a more youthful manner. Damage caused by the sun and pollution are slowed down with the aid of antioxidant vitamins C and E to thwart free radicals, and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate to provide UV protection.

Immediately upon application, skin becomes luminous, with a more even tone and youthful dewy finish. The sheer coverage lasts for hours. The oil-free moisturizing properties last for eight hours. Apply with fingers or a brush over the entire face, or dab onto trouble spots to create a flawless finish that’s never overdone.
