Pros
I bought it because the color was a fluorescent pink shade.🩷 The matte finish gives good color payoff. The color is definitely vivid and looks pretty!
Cons
Aside from the gradual price increases, there's nothing else. The prices are rising everywhere, too.

Pros
It feels good that the lips don't just appear reddish on the face. This color suits summer cool-toned skin. This is a color that is hard to find in other brands. It lasts for 2-3 hours even when I'm just sitting still. This is a lipstick with good color payoff.
Cons
The matte lipstick tends to be a bit drying when applied alone. When applying the lipstick, lip balm is necessary. The price range is moderate.
Tip
A classic-feeling lipstick Applying a matte lipstick requires exfoliating the lips and applying lip balm beforehand for the best results.

Pros
It applies thinly but has good color payoff. The color seems more suitable for cool-toned skin than warm-toned.
Cons
I'm satisfied and don't have any complaints, but if I had to nitpick, I wish the quantity was a bit more.

A highlighter with excellent pigmentation that instantly brightens the complexion, like a fluorescent lamp.

Wearing matte lipstick without proper lip exfoliation is a disaster...

Pros
Mac products always seem to have great color payoff and lasting power. The shades also come out nicely.
Cons
The lipstick itself has good lasting power, but it's still a bit disappointing.

Pros
The cool-toned lip color looks great whether you're standing next to me or passing by! The pigmentation is so vibrant that just one swipe gives you a maximum glow~! Especially when taking photos, it gives a natural, lively look.
Cons
The reason I gave it one less star is that the pigmentation is just too... too vibrant ㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ It's both a pro and a con. A single swipe on the lower lip is enough to make it pop... If you don't have a mirror, don't reapply. Also, since it's a matte lip, I'd recommend it more for spring and summer rather than winter.. After applying the lip, you can feel your lip skin getting dry over time ㅠ
Tip
You can also use the lip color as a cream blush. It'll work perfectly for cool-toned skin. Just be sure to touch up the lip and use only the amount that's left on the applicator for the cheeks!

Pros
The cool-toned lip color isn't extremely cool, but it comes off fairly natural and radiant. 📍Pigmentation This is from the MAC Retro Matte line, so the pigmentation is amazing. It's like a super pigmented crayon - just a swipe and it's fully opaque! 📍Longevity Since it's extremely matte, the adhesion is fantastic. There is some transfer, but the color really clings to the lips. 📍Shade This is like a fluorescent lighting lip color! It's high in chroma and incredibly bright, making it perfect for summer. It has more of a neon pink vibe than a cool-toned pink.
Cons
The Retro Matte formula is a bit too dry and stiff. Sometimes my lips hurt from wearing it, so I have to apply lip balm, but then the color doesn't apply as well. It's a lipstick I can only wear on my lips when they're in good condition.

Pros
The pink color is just so pretty, with a cool and vibrant feel - it's truly a standout color in my opinion. The color payoff is great, and while it's matte, it's not overly drying, so the longevity is pretty decent too. The color is so vivid that you don't need to use much product, so even though I've used it quite a bit, the amount hasn't gone down much at all (haha).
Cons
As we all know, this has an extremely matte formula. But if you apply a lip balm before using this product, the cool and vibrant pink effect is slightly diminished. So I think the best way to use this is when your lips aren't too dry.
Tip
This color would be great for cool-toned skin, but these days there are so many similar lip products out there, so when considering factors like application and cost-effectiveness, the drugstore options might actually be the better choice.

Pros
The matte-textured lipstick has excellent color payoff and long-lasting wear.
Cons
Like all matte lipsticks, it accentuates dry, flaky lips..Proper lip exfoliation is essential. If you prefer a more hydrating lip gloss, this is not recommended.

Pros
The product had a beautiful fluorescent pink color that I really liked. The longevity was also not bad.
Cons
It's a bit on the matte side, so it can feel a little dry to apply directly. It's better to first apply a lip balm and then put this on top.
