For a lipstick, its staying power was quite impressive. Also, when you open the lipstick, there's a chocolate scent that wafts up (I'm a chocolate fanatic so I'm fine with it, but it might be hit or miss for others).
ConsI have a summer cool light to bright tone with 21-22 skin type, so I usually wear most pink lipsticks without issue... But this Impassioned surprised me by appearing unexpectedly tacky and with a bluish-pink tint. While it looks fine in photos, the actual color payoff is somewhat questionable. Despite the official website images and YouTubers suggesting Impassioned was a slightly warmer pink, it's actually a very cool-toned pink. I think it might work better as a base layer under other lip colors. If you're a true warm tone, I'd recommend thinking twice before purchasing. Fortunately, I received this as a gift, so at least I didn't waste my money... Still, it's definitely not my favorite.
TipInstead of applying it in long horizontal strokes, try short vertical touches. This method improves both the staying power and how well it absorbs.

I used it a lot for fresh, springtime looks. The staying power was decent, and it didn't emphasize dead skin cells too much.
ConsAs someone with a medium skin tone, it wasn't a perfect match for me. I couldn't apply it full-on, so I mixed it with other shades or used it for gradient effects. This color would look absolutely stunning on those with fairer complexions!

The staying power is also good!
ConsIt absorbs better when applied on its own rather than mixed with other products

Even though it's not from their matte line, the staying power is truly remarkable. It's made me curious to explore other MAC lipsticks too. What's great is that it doesn't transfer easily to cups, making it perfect for someone like me who drinks water frequently.
ConsIt tends to settle into lip lines quite noticeably. The color has more of a white undertone than I expected, which means I don't reach for it as often as I thought I would.
TipFor best results, moisturize your lips with a light, non-greasy lip balm before application. This helps the lipstick go on beautifully!

It's my holy grail product! It's slightly matte without emphasizing wrinkles, and has great staying power.
ConsNothing specific really... Just that it's not exactly cheap like typical drugstore prices?

But when I received a MAC lipstick as a birthday gift and tried it, I finally understood why everyone raves about MAC! It glides on smoothly with excellent absorption and adheres perfectly to the lips. The staying power is absolutely fantastic! I love how it doesn't emphasize wrinkles or dead skin cells as much. Pro tip: Apply lip balm, wait 5 minutes, then apply the lipstick for best results. Will definitely repurchase!
ConsWhen touching up makeup, it tends to pill and doesn't look as pretty, probably because it's a lipstick.
TipFor the best application, start your makeup routine by applying lip balm, then finish with the lipstick as the final touch!

Despite my sensitive skin, this lipstick works well for me.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the lipstick tends to transfer easily due to its moisturizing formula.

I'm so satisfied! The 'Impassioned' shade currently on my lips is absolutely essential to have in your collection. For someone like me with thin lips, it's better to choose a slightly neon color to accentuate them rather than a toned-down shade, and this one is perfect! The texture is just right - it absorbs well without being too sticky and has great staying power.
ConsThere's nothing to dislike. I'm so satisfied with this product that I can't think of any downsides.
TipIt would be even better to use this along with a lip balm!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- The application is smooth and effortless. The amplified formula isn't too matte, giving a nice glossy finish. It doesn't accentuate dead skin cells and doesn't melt even when carried around in summer! - The staying power is pretty good. It doesn't fade quickly or break down, and if you avoid licking or biting your lips, it lasts about 2-4 hours! - Beautiful color. It's a warm-toned hot pink that would suit warm complexions well. I've always wanted to wear pink but stuck to coral and red-orange shades, thinking they suited my warm tone better. This lipstick seems to light up the face even for those with warm undertones. It's a truly clear, vibrant, and warm floral pink.
Cons- Transfer issues. This is a common drawback for all non-matte lipsticks... It always transfers onto cups or straws when drinking, requiring touch-ups. Also, you have to constantly worry about it smudging on things your lips might touch, which is a bit of a hassle.

My lips tend to be very dry, so I always apply lip balm before lipstick. Since MAC lipsticks are quite matte, lip balm has become essential! When used together, it feels less matte and applies more smoothly. * Great staying power. When I apply it in the morning before work, the color lasts until lunchtime without reapplication! * Very good color payoff. The pigmentation is beautiful! With some control, you can achieve various looks from a subtle pink to a deep, intense pink.
Cons* As my lips are very dry... when touching up or in dry environments (like under heaters), it can crack quickly. It's truly matte, so it may settle into fine lines!
Tip* As mentioned above, using lip balm with the lipstick allows for a moisturizing application without settling into fine lines.
