Last year MAC launched the Middle Eastern Collection which I skipped, no idea why as I am a MAC Lipstick fiend through and through. Luckily the shades within the collection which I do recommend Googling if you enjoy nude/natural lip shades was made permanent. At the weekend I got the chance to back 2 MAC a few lipsticks I walked away with two of shades I have had my eye for quite some while. First up we have the shade MAC Mehr...
I think by now most are familiar with the bog standard black MAC lipstick casing by now so let's simply skip on to the shade description shall we? Mehr is listed on the site as a "dirty blue pink" - in bullet form it almost looks plum in some lights but once applied I liken it to a deeper version of MAC Angel so if you find such shade a little stark this may be a great alternative but I would say that Mehr has more of a brown leaning when compared to Angel. This is very much a cool toned pink and the blue tone does give the impression of whiter teeth and all in all a great everyday pink lipstick particularly if you have a medium skin tone. I personally like to team this shade with NARS Turkish Delight Lipgloss for a glossy pink nude pout.
Mehr is a matte formula which may put some off a little but to that I say don't put too much thought into it as MAC's matte formulas unless the retro matte offering aren't all that matte truth be told and as a result not as drying as some. I would still advise prepping your lips beforehand to ensure that it doesn't grip onto any dry areas - a quick lip scrub and a slick of lip balm should sort out most lips. For a matte lipstick this isn't at all drying nor is it moisturising but it does glide on fairly easily and delivers full opaque coverage without slipping or bleeding throughout the day. In terms of wear I found that this shade wore true for around three hours (not including eating and drinking) before it required a re-application which isn't terrible by any standards but not as long lasting as other matte formulas I have tested over the years.
