They’re very matte and yet feel almost like an oil on the lips and yet transfer and fading is minimal.
#MAC KISS SOFT MATTE PALETTE LENS BLUR FULL#
The Liquid Lip Colors are along the same lines – I think I’d say the finish is like just blotted lips, when you’ve applied a full colour and then taken some of it back off with the accompanying softer look that blotting gives. They’re £17.50 each HERE, non affiliate HERE. I’d class them as gentle, wearable and comfortable re-introductions to eye shadows if you had a break over the summer. So, shades (from bottom to top) are: Lens Blur, What Clout (if you have blue eyes this is your friend!), Devoted to Chili and Fall In Love. I should mention that the matte shadows are utterly weightless – you just don’t know they’re there.

I think the diffusion is fully obvious in the swatch and I’ve laid down more colour on my arm than I would on my lid. I used my fingers to apply and got a soft wash of colour that feels about right for where I am on my slow march back to a fuller make-up look. The matte finish is kind of soft focus – impactful colours in a gentle dilution. That’s something that I didn’t think could work with any great effect until I tried a similar thing from a different brand and realised that diffused shadows can look beautiful. I’ve been dying to see the Powder Kiss Eyeshadows that are formulated to be a ‘blur’ finish.
