In Detail MAC Diva Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches and My Experience
It belongs to MAC's permanent range of lipsticks and comes in a classic black and silver packaging with a click close top. Like all MAC lipsticks, it has a slight vanilla fragrance to it.
MAC Diva is a warm toned, kind of muted deep red shade. It's the red sibling of burgundy, not exactly burgundy. This is exactly what I would call a perfect Vampy shade of a lipstick. This looks super sexy with LBD and or any other black attire. It's also much loved as a bridal red shade in India.
Though its described as a matte lipstick, for me this falls more under the category of a creamy-matte lipstick. It gives a matte finish but not so super matte. It does not exactly dry out my lips because its creamy and glides on perfectly to the lips without tugging. Immediately after applying, it doesn't really look matte however after a while it sets into a matte finish.
Pigmentation wise, it does not go super opaque in a single swipe. It takes about 3-4 swipes for me to get the desired opaqueness. Staying power is approximately 6-7 hours without meals and around 5 hours with meals. It does transfer a little on objects. After taking it off, it leaves a reddish stain behind on the lips which I guess looks pretty cute.
