  Lustres to me are like every other lipstick by other make up companies out there.  Satins and Mattes (Mattenes too) are the main lippies I focus on, because MAC really does those well.  Okay, maybe Amplified and Cremesheens too.  But I have too many Lustres and they don't last long at all.

Really? The newest lustres from 2012 were really good - good coverage, good wear, comfortable/not drying. Stuff like Flamingo, Cusp of Dawn, Venus, Pink Popcorn…..

I never liked the old lustres that were so sheer and drying, even though I have a soft spot for Pervette.

For my coloring (NC15 with red lips), that is seriously one of the best nude lipsticks I own. Very understated, but has a certain something. I have BUs galore.

i actually love lustres and mattes. nothing in between. like lustres are good for the no makeup looks and mattes are good for every occasion! 

i agree liba, lustres are not drying. i only have the 2011-012- ones not old ones. maybe those were bad?

The old ones would chap my lips pretty easily.

I love mattes because they just look better on me.  Are you getting rid of your lustres because of the finish or the "snow" that they have a tendency to form??

Im the same!!! give me mattes and im happy!! almost twins in both your posts here!

When i first started in makeup, I'd only wear gloss. No lipstick ever! Then lustres (high tea, plink) with gloss on top. No liner. Now i wear bold mattes with liner or my signature nude creme d nude, alone or with a nude gloss on top. I only use lustres on clients now.


The "snow" isn't harmful tho. Just wipe and go!

I feel the same. I don`t understand why they put out  so many lovely colors and so many ls in this formula, which I find drying and it stays so little on lips. MAtte & amplified are my favorites. I could use a colored lipbalm instead of a luster with the same effect but more nurturing

oh, Lustre... I've got mixes feelings too, due to the fact I've got pigmented lips (MLBB? Craving XD or Plumful if I want to accentuate the plum side of them, but I have to go really heavy with it because of its finish...); plus the staying power is different from colour to colour (I've got Cyndi and Milan Mode, the second one is better the the viva glam...)

Every time I read "Lustre" on a colour story... I skip that lipstick ^^;;;
 

I no longer purchase lustres, glazes, cremesheens,and frosts.

It's satins, mattes, mattenes and amplifieds or nada.

Mattes and mattenes are my absolute favs.

LOVE THEM!

I do love frosts instead XDDDD because I think they are buildable or with goog pigmentation (like my first MAC lippie ever, Costa Chic).

My favourite finish is Amplified, btw. And Satin. And I like Mattene and Prolongwears. XD

.....that is my "lippie ranking list" too!

What's this "snow" that was mentioned with lustres?

I have a good collection of Mac lipsticks and I don't own nor have ever purchased a lustre. Based off these comments and my extra drying lips, I'm okay with that!

I like lustres too! Mattes tend to dry my lips (eps. NARS matte ls) and lustres really don't. Although I was very surprised with the strength mattes since they have a bit more moisture.

It's the stuff that looks like dust on the lipsticks. Check the strength thread for more info.

a white residue that forms on the outside which is hopefully just some of the oil compounds in the lippy undergoing some type of chemical reaction to changes in temperature or humidity but at the worst could be some sort of fungus.  Opinions differ as to if it means the product should be thrown away but if you go about 3 pages back, you will get an eyeful and

I used to love them, but I have too many and have switched sides to liking the matte side of things.  Yeah, they are more drying but I like the longevity and pigmentation.  Sometimes I like a bit of creaminess or dewiness to my lips, but most of the time not, I am going for something that is going to last.  Plus, most of the Luster finish lippies to me look like lipsticks that come from other brands and could often be duped but their matte finish is more unique.

My ranking order is mattene> matte >prolongwear>satin>amplified>frost>creamsheen>lustre/glaze

sometimes I do like the glaze for layering or a less dramatic effect but most of us aren't going to MAC products to be subtle or blend into the woodwork...if I wanted that I would stick with Clinique, BB or EL

The finishes I love the most are Matte and Lustre! (very different each other, I know). I wear mattes and mattenes when I want a strong lipstick that will last for hours. When I want something softer, shiny and a bit sheer I go for lustres ^^ I also have some cremesheen and amplified, a few satins and only one frost (my sister stole it to me).

I was avoiding frosts like the plague before but they are starting to grow on me, and I am hoping for some more frost finish lipsticks this year.  Esp. in the summer.  I also like them in the winter, to do a heavily pigmented eye and then just a slight wash of pastel color plus frost on the lip...

No I like lustres too.  Almost all my Mac lipsticks are this finish.  I also have a couple cremesheens, amplifieds but no matte.  More for everyone else.

You and me both. I like the lustres. I've purchased a few that have been a little drying, but I love semi-sheer/ semi-opaque lip colours in general. Because they let a little bit of your own lip colour peek through, they tend to "meld" with it and become the perfect shade for whoever is wearing them. I also adore the Glaze format, which I think is completely underrated. Then again. I am the Queen H00r of lip products. I love having a selection of finishes at my disposal at all times.

Ooooh I like Sheen Supremes too...

Good idea!

I'm getting into mattes....I really love Blow Dry. It's the only lustre I own I think. I'm sad it went bye bye .

I really don't like frosts.
