MAC Do Not Disturb Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, neon cotton candy pink with cool, blue undertones and a cream finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage, which applied somewhat unevenly; there were visible streaks along the edges of my lips and some separation along deeper lip lines that I just couldn’t smooth out.
The texture was lightweight, smooth, and creamy, and while it didn’t feel overly creamy, it certainly looked that way in practice. It wore well for four and a half hours, left a subtle fuchsia stain behind, and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying.
Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying.
The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

MAC So You Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is dark, pinky-coral with warm undertones and a cream finish. I was impressed by how smoothing the formula was on this shade, as my lip lines almost disappeared entirely, so it was quite forgiving of lip texture and lip lines.
It had rich color payoff paired with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was comfortable to apply and to wear. This shade lasted nicely for five hours and was a touch hydrating overall.
