MAC lipstick and eyeshadow finish descriptions

Taken from the Nordstrom site a quick explanation of MACs lipstick finishes:
  • AMPLIFIED CREME (A): Ultra-creamy. Quietly shiny. Color-packed! Hi-res: hi-impact.
  • CREMESHEEN (C): Creme-based lipstick that imparts bright full color, with a soft and supple shine.
  • FROST (F): Excellent color payoff with medium to high frosted shimmer-and-shine finish.
  • GLAZE (G): Low-color impact with sheen-style finish. Glazes the lips, makes them shine!
  • LIP TREATMENT (LT): Color-free. Texture-free. Provides natural healthy-looking lips.
  • LUSTRE (L): Demi-sheer with wet-look lustre finish. Very slick. Makes lips look soft, smooth, ultra-moist.
  • MATTE (M): Pigment rich with intense color pay-off. No-shine, all matte finish.
  • SATIN (S): Color-rich. Soft satin, semi-matte finish. Conditions while adding intense color.
