My Experience with MAC D For Danger Matte Lipstick:

This comes in regular MAC packaging, nothing fancy, just functional and classy matte black. Details of the product are mentioned on the outer carton. Only con with MAC packaging is that you have to remember every color and corresponding name; color coded sticker at the base is always welcome.

I like the matte and satin textures because they stay long without making the lips uncomfortable or chapped. Also the pigmentation is great in these two finishes and hence applying lip liner is totally optional. D For Danger being from the matte range is nice and smooth on the lips and does not tug or pull them. On the contrary, it does not dry out the lips; people with dry lips would need a lip balm after a couple of hours though.

D For Danger has been described as a brick red shade by MAC but is would differ completely. It is a wonderful gorgeous shade of magenta which is wearable considering the muted look to it. I love the plum tone to it and this is my new favorite lipstick. It can be worn both day and night without looking OTT. Do check out this shade if you like such colors.

The staying power ranges from 4-5 hours depending on the food/fluid intake. After that it starts fading from the centre of the lips. Without any lip lining and primer I feel that is a decent staying power. I do not mind reapplying as this feels nice on the lips. It does leave a strong pink stain behind and is difficult to get rid of.
