Mon Macaron (257)

Lancome Mon Macaron (257) L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick (2022) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium, rosy brown with muted, warm undertones and a cream finish. The lipstick had full color payoff in a single stroke, which adhered evenly and applied smoothly without dragging as the texture was lightweight, creamy but not overly emollient. It stayed on well for four hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce

It was recently reformulated to be even more hydrating with "18 hour comfort" and "8 hour hydration" paired with an "ultra-creamy texture" and "intense color" that gives a "luminous finish." They distinguish the 18-hour and 8-hour claims from it being long-wearing, so presumably they are referring to how one's lips feel after the product as worn away or been removed (after fading).

Most shades had full color payoff in a single layer, while a few shades had to be built up. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and emollient without being too slippery or too thick, so the lipstick applied comfortably across my lips but wasn't prone to settling into my lip lines. The formula was more forgiving of lip texture imperfections and seemed to smooth out my lip lines more often than not.

They have a powdery floral scent, which is noticeable more in the tube than on, but it had a bit of taste initially to me. The updated formula felt very comparable to the last iteration, possibly a little lighter-weight and smoother on my lips. They wore between four and six hours and were hydrating.
