I love Mac I've been a Mac lover since I was 18, now 35 lol anyways how come I have so much trouble with there Satin formula lipstick? My lips become super dry and all peeled looking about 4 hrs into wearing them. I use sugar lip treatment once a day plus a good balm and primer before applying. The Mattes are way less drying then the Satin formula. Do any of you beauties also jave this issue? (:

I've never tried it. Next time I go to Mac I'll try it out and let you know if it happens to me too!

MAC lipsticks in general have started to seriously affect my lips. So much so I've been phasing them out of my collection. Regardless of the formula or prep steps I go thru to avoid dry/peeling/itchy lips...still have issues. And its depressing because I'm kicking out beloved shades. Lustres and satins are especially bad for me.

I only owned 2 MAC lipsticks all my life for the simple reason that they give me rashes around the lips. I realize how I seem like a n alien given how many people love them but I tried over a period of 10 years, but every time the reaction...grrr.

Same here satin formula lippies make my lips dry and I don't have this problem with any other brands.. I love Mac a lot but these lippies kinda depressing me.

I just remembered that Rebel is a satin formula! I don't know why but I was thinking about Frost for some reason, sorry about that!
I have it (or rather had it, it's lost somewhere) and as far as I can remember, it's never caused this problem with me. So I think it's a hit or miss, or maybe I'm just lucky!

I tried the Prep+Prime primer as well. Made it worse actually. I already use a medical grade lip serum prior to application of any lipstick and with MAC...every single time I experience grief. But all my other lippie brands...no issues. Right now my greatest challenge is finding dupes for all my fave shades. :/

Satin is actually my favorite finish! I have the retro matte finish which is more drying for me and even difficult for me to apply but I don't have problems with my satin lipsticks. I really enjoy the amplified finishes and I think they are much more moisturizing but have a great staying power
