Pros
It's a beautiful red color. The pigmentation is great and it's moisturizing, so it's good to use all year round. Although it's a red color, if you dab it on lightly, it's also good for everyday use.
Cons
It doesn't have the signature matte texture of MAC. It's a cream formula, so it's moisturizing. The pigmentation is great, but it stains a lot.
Tip
After toning down the lip color, if you just dab it on the center, it's not too heavy and can be used comfortably as an everyday product all year round.

Pros
⭕️This is a creamy lipstick that MAC has ambitiously introduced, moving away from their matte-only obsession. ⭕️The application is also creamy and smooth. ⭕️The pigmentation is great, with excellent one-swipe coverage. ⭕️The scent has a floral note. ⭕️As a cream type, it does provide a decent level of moisture. ⭕️The color seems perfect for a flight attendant's lipstick. ⭕️The gradient effect is so beautiful on this lipstick.
Cons
The only downside seems to be the staining issue, as expected.
Tip
Honey's 🍯👍🏻 tip: Apply it generously, then gently blend the edges with a cotton swab for a beautiful gradient effect!

Pros
It's incredibly moisturizing! The Crimson is just as good as I expected. The color payoff is just as great as it looks.
Cons
The longevity is a bit weak. It's moisturizing, which is nice, but it wears off quickly..

Pros
The formula is moisturizing, the longevity is great, and the color is so beautiful - I really like it.
Cons
Since the formula is quite moisturizing, the downside is that it gets used up a bit too quickly.
Tip
When doing touch-ups, I can keep layering it without it getting clumpy.

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
Among my frequently used Mac lipsticks, most happen to be from the Retro Matte line...8ㅁ8... After using only Retro Mattes, the shock when I first tried the Creamsheen formula was hilarious. As you can see in the photo, it is incredibly moisturizing with a glossy finish. This is the quintessential water-drenched red.
Cons
There's really no downside. Isn't the formula one that you can't expect long-lasting wear from in the first place?
Tip

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 moisturizing and pretty red lipstick with a clear, fresh feel. As it's a creamy type, it doesn't feel heavy on the lips and has a nice, supple texture. You can apply it lightly to just add a healthy glow, or build it up for a more vibrant look. This seems like a good starter lipstick for department store brands.
Cons
The moisturizing formula doesn't have the best staying power. It tends to transfer easily, like when drinking from a cup.

Pros
It has good lasting power and doesn't cause much peeling. Even though it's a lipstick, it applies smoothly and moisturizes well!!
Cons
I didn't really feel any downsides and used the product well!

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.
