The pigmentation is so intense that you can choose to blend it out towards your lip line or go bold. When applied meticulously, it gives a slightly deeper hue that's just stunningly beautiful. It's a shade that can liven up even a bare face, making your complexion look more even and clean. Just apply this lip color and throw on a black outfit - it's a match made in heaven! The Retro Matte finish gives you that perfect powdery matte look. While it feels desert-dry during application, the end result is a velvety matte (provided you've properly moisturized your lips!). It's similar to the feeling you get after blotting a MAC matte lipstick with a tissue. As for staying power, the Retro Matte formula is unbeatable in the MAC lipstick range. While it's not completely transfer-proof, it adheres to your lips instantly without any slipping, providing stable, long-lasting wear.
ConsThe application can feel as dry as a desert. The Retro Matte formula is quite stiff - it's almost like coloring with a crayon on sandpaper. You need to dab it on multiple times, almost like pointillism, to get an even application.
TipMoisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more!

Color: If you have a cool skin tone, this lip color will suit you beautifully! 💄 In my personal opinion, it would look especially stunning on bright summer cool tones! I apply this when I'm in the mood for a vibrant fuchsia pink+red lip :) It makes my face look even brighter. Staying power: The staying power isn't bad at all, I'd say it's actually quite good. It doesn't completely wear off, so I find this level of longevity satisfactory! Pigmentation: The pigmentation is vivid and absolutely gorgeous. I'm in love with this shade, so I'm thrilled with how the color appears as soon as I apply it✨
ConsApplication: As expected, many MAC lipsticks tend to be a bit dry, so it feels a bit stiff when applying.. While it's not as dry as Ruby Woo (which is the ultimate in dryness in my opinion), it still feels somewhat stiff. Emphasizes dead skin cells: Being a matte type, it inevitably emphasizes dead skin cells on the lips.. You'll probably need to exfoliate your lips well before applying!

ConsWhen my lips are dry, it feels a bit stiff when applied, which is disappointing.

I also love the subtle chocolate scent. As expected, matte lips are perfect for gradient looks!
ConsIt's matte and a bit dry, so a lip balm is a must. If you apply it on a day when you have dead skin cells, they become the star of your face. For light summer cool tones, it might appear a bit dark.

However, I must admit, the ingredients list is a bit shocking.
ConsAs with most retro matte lipsticks, it's quite dry. It's manageable if you take good care of your dead skin cells, but it's inconvenient to apply and the constant need to focus on exfoliation can be a bit of a hassle.

I received it as a birthday gift last year, and it's barely worn down as my next birthday approaches. It seems to be a great value for the price. Plus, it has good staying power and doesn't transfer much!
ConsThe application is far too dry and stiff. It's almost painful to apply when your lips are dry. Also, I'm a summer cool-toned bright, and although I heard this color would suit my tone, it's actually a very deep red! It's too intense to apply all over, so I'm dabbing it on lightly. The color is like a blood-red... It's really a fiery shade that might be too much for some.

This color would look fantastic on cool-toned skin. It would be absolutely stunning in winter... I have warm-toned skin, so it doesn't suit me as well, but those with cool undertones will look gorgeous in this. It's like turning on a fluorescent light for your lips! Application: True to MAC's reputation, it applies beautifully. I love matte lipsticks, so I found it great! It feels quite firm, like a crayon, but doesn't feel heavy or suffocating on the lips. Scent: You know that signature MAC lipstick chocolate scent? That's exactly what it smells like! Overall, the color is just so beautiful!
ConsIt accentuates dead skin cells... The texture is so stiff when applying that it makes my lips feel dry. It feels like my lips might twist and crack from the dryness.

When I apply this, it instantly transforms my face, giving me a much more sophisticated and polished look.
ConsIt can feel a bit stiff when applying, almost like a crayon. However, I use MAC lip primer, so I don't really notice that issue much.
TipThis pairs beautifully with Innisfree's blush in shade 14 'Cozy Lilac'.

It's a gorgeous burgundy pink that's perfect for winter. While Ruby Woo gives off a vibrant, sexy vibe, All Fired Up exudes both chic and sexy energy. For me, this lipstick is like a one-step Photoshop effect. It's great when you need to wear sunglasses, as this lip color alone can outshine all other makeup.
ConsBeing a matte type, it's quite stiff when applying and can emphasize dead skin cells. For an elegant, long-lasting beautiful lip, make sure to prep your lips thoroughly with lip balm to soften any flakes and get your lips in top condition before use. Otherwise, after eating and going about your day, your lips might end up looking less than ideal. This is definitely a high-skill lipstick.
TipThis lip color pairs beautifully with darker hair colors. However, it might not be as flattering on brown hair tones.

Longevity: Stays put unless you eat something. Highly recommended for cool-toned individuals. It's a hot pink with a slight red undertone. One application lasts forever - you could probably use this daily for a year and still have product left.
ConsThe main downside is the price... I'd recommend purchasing it at duty-free shops. It's quite stiff, making application challenging. I always use it with a lip balm.
TipFor a gorgeous gradient effect, apply lip balm first, then lightly dab the lipstick with a lip brush and gently blend it out.
