Pros
There's a common misconception that MAC lipsticks are always matte, but this Brave Red is actually incredibly creamy! It's a moisturizing lipstick that allows for a 'wet' look. If your lips aren't too dry, you may even be able to wear it without lip balm. The creaminess surprised me, as I didn't expect much pigmentation, but it does have a nice subtle tint to it as well!
Cons
The downside is that since it's so moisturizing, the color payoff isn't great on the first application. Compared to a matte lipstick like Russian Red, the coverage is quite sheer. There's a close-up shot of it on my lips, and you can see it looks very pink... To get a true red color, you'd need to apply it at least two to three times. So while it's hydrating and gives a natural, 'no makeup' look, if you prefer bold, opaque color, this may not be the best choice for you. I personally like more intense pigmentation, so I likely won't repurchase this.
Tip
For the lip look in the last photo, I started with the Brave Red as a base, then added some Russian Red on top, gradually building up the intensity. Finally, I topped it off with a touch of Diva to really make the red pop. This gives a beautiful, vibrant red lip look!

Pros
I'm a cool-toned person, and this lip color suits me incredibly well. When I wore this lip color, my acquaintances even asked me what I had applied. It's a moisturizing type, so it feels like I'm wearing a tint on my lips. Applying it fully can be burdensome, but if I apply it lightly from the inner part of my lips, it looks absolutely gorgeous. I prefer this glossy line over matte ones, which is why I reach for this lip color more often. The advantage of applying it lightly is that I can use it for a longer time. The color payoff is also really great. It has a purplish-red feel to it!
Cons
The disappointing part is...that it doesn't suit warm-toned people at all. The color may look like it would suit the autumn warm-toned, but surprisingly, it doesn't really suit me. Apart from that, I don't think there are any other downsides to this product.

Pros
This is a cool-toned pink-based shade 21. It's the Mac lipstick I've used the most from my collection. It's a red with a slightly more autumnal burgundy feel, about 5% mixed in. First of all, I like that it's not matte. When it's too matte, the flaking and creasing can be hard to manage, but this has a comfortable, easy-to-apply feel even for a beginner. The color doesn't wash me out. Even though it's a warm-toned color, it works well on my extremely cool-toned skin. It applies as a refined red without looking patchy. It's easy to create a gradient effect. With very matte lipsticks, the gradient can sometimes look stiff, but this creamy formula is hydrating without being overly slick, so the application and color payoff are excellent.
Cons
The downside of this type of Mac lipstick is that it tends to wear down faster than the regular formula. While mattes feel relatively less worn down, this creamy type visibly diminishes, which can be fun to use but also makes you feel like you're going through it quickly.
Tip
If you prefer a matte finish, you can lightly dab on some translucent powder at the end to get a long-lasting, velvety look.

Pros
I went on an overseas trip and bought this at the duty-free shop without much thought, but it's so pretty! I'm definitely not a warm-toned person, but I'm not a cool-toned one either - I'm more of a neutral-toned person, so it's hard for me to find lipsticks that match my tone. But this lipstick is just perfect for me. It's a kind of watery red color... a bit of a cooler red? That sort of color. It's not a matte type, so it applies smoothly and doesn't emphasize any flakiness. If you like this kind of watery red, you should definitely get it! 💗💗 The photo is pretty close to the actual color, so you can use it as a reference.
Cons
Well, it does come off easily when I eat or do something, but that's usually the case with glowy lipsticks anyway, so...
Tip
I think this might not suit warm-toned people very well?

Pros
The color was surprisingly pretty and I liked it. It's not as matte as the other shades, so it applies smoothly and doesn't feel patchy.
Cons
The longevity is not great - when I eat or drink, the color only remains on the edges and disappears from the inner part, so I have to constantly check my lips.

Pros
Your skin looks radiant and the matte type is not drying, so it feels moisturizing.
Cons
The longevity was quite poor. It just wears off about 60% when you eat something.
Tip
When I apply another matte lip product and then dab this on top, it comes out beautifully and subtly. I layered this over the Pia lip product.

Pros
I received this as a birthday gift! The Russian Red or Ruby Woo were not quite my taste, but this is something I really wanted to buy. 1. Beautiful Color The color is truly beautiful. Out of all the MAC red lipsticks I've seen in person, this is the prettiest. The color payoff is amazing, and even my friend said it looks gorgeous! 2. Smooth Application It applies smoothly. This is a cream lipstick, so it's not matte! This is also its biggest downside, hahaha.
Cons
1. Longevity I didn't really think much about the longevity, but I realized it's not very long-lasting. I noticed this recently when I was eating pizza and had this lipstick on. I could see it transferring onto the palm of my hand, and it felt like I was eating the lipstick rather than the pizza... 2. Price Because of the poor longevity, I realized there are many better and cheaper lipsticks out there. The full price is just not worth it, haha.
Tip
Don't spend 30,000 won on this. Go buy something else... + I'm canceling the photo. In my case, it comes out as a muted red (the color didn't capture well in the photo, unfortunately).

Pros
I didn't buy a MAC lipstick because I don't like matte lipsticks, but this lipstick wasn't as matte as I expected. The pigmentation of MAC lipsticks is really amazing.
Cons
The longevity is so-so. I thought the application would be smooth and creamy since it applies well, but that wasn't the case, so I'm disappointed in that aspect.
