Pros
The matte lipstick doesn't really accentuate flaky skin, and the color is... so beautiful.
Cons
When I applied it over the Dior lip gloss, it clumped and slid around, so I had to use a lip balm to absorb it before reapplying.

Pros
It seems to suit people with fair skin or warm-toned complexions.
Cons
You have to exfoliate thoroughly before using it, and make sure it doesn't clump when applying. In my case, even after exfoliating carefully, I still get a bit of residual flakiness... but the color is so pretty that it's hard to give up.

Pros
21~22 Winter Cool-toned Bright The photo has been corrected to be as similar to the actual product as possible. ๑•᎑•๑ 1. Color If you feel the color is too warm for spring or doesn't suit you at all, or if the color is too cool for summer and doesn't suit you at all, be sure to test it out! As shown in the photo, when paired with a warm color, it appears cool, but when paired with a cool magenta, it appears warm again. If I had to categorize it, it would be closer to warm. It wasn't a color that suited me well. Compared to the magenta, it didn't seem to blend in with my face... It's not a color I would just apply, but one I'd be curious to try when I want to experiment with color. It's not a color I'm drawn to because of its prettiness. It's a magenta with a touch of yellow + 0.5 drop of white! It's fine for those who can pull off the white, but for those who really can't, it's not recommended as it can appear slightly off on the face... 2. Texture This is a matte formula. If applied with a lip balm, it can mix with the lip and peel off along with the flaky skin. It's best to do thorough lip prep the day before and apply it the next day! It's a true matte, so even with care, the lips can experience a desert-like dryness over time... I apply this when going out, but use a different product for touch-ups! If reapplied, the flaky skin and pigments just have a wild party (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) 3. Longevity Matte + highly pigmented It's almost staining, the particles are so fine and adhere well. But it's not the type that only leaves the lip line behind and wipes off, so there's no need to worry about it during meals. 4. Transfer Among mattes, this has very minimal transfer.
Cons
1. Flaky Skin Even with proper lip care, flaky skin can appear after application and over time. If applied with a lip balm, the lipstick particles and flaky skin can clump together. This is practically a flaky skin generator. 2. Application It applies unevenly. Whether I spread it or dab it on, it just doesn't apply smoothly... A brush or cotton swab is a must. 3. Reapplication If reapplied, the pigments clump together with the flaky skin, and they just float around on my lips. The lipstick has all the flaky skin attached to it (ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ)
Tip
Thoroughly prep your lips before application. A brush or cotton swab is recommended for application. Dab it on rather than spreading. For touch-ups, it's best to use a different lip product.

Pros
This color really suits me as a warm-toned person. The application is also good. When I apply something too matte, my lips often get dry and cracked, but this was just the right amount of matte, which I liked.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's just me or if all lipsticks are like this, but I usually remove lip flakes, but the lipstick sometimes clumps up... And sometimes it doesn't apply evenly. Except for those times, it's fine.

Pros
When you want to add radiance to your face, Rilent Resley Red🌹 is the perfect choice. As a matte type, lip balm is a must if your lips tend to be dry the day before or the day you apply it! The great thing about this lip product is its long-lasting wear, pleasant fragrance, and attractive color.😌 Even though I have a warm skin tone, I think it suits me well. This is my second purchase, and this time... Some days it matches me perfectly, like a fluorescent light, but on other days, it looks completely out of place.😕
Cons
The disappointing part is that it can clump up if you apply it incorrectly. And even though it looks fine at home, once I'm out and check in the mirror, the dreaded flaky skin party always starts.😢 The patchy flaky skin bothers me all day long! Perhaps due to the air conditioning, the dried-out flaky skin in the office makes me take off a star~
Tip
I'd recommend this to those with matte types that don't cause flaky skin when applied!

Pros
It's the perfect pink-red color! It looks great when applied alone or with other products. If your lips are in good condition, it applies beautifully for a gradient effect.
Cons
Even though I diligently care for my lips, if I go a day without applying lip balm before bed, they feel clumped up when I apply it the next day.
Tip
I would definitely repurchase this. It gives such a fresh, delicate, full-lip look - it's amazing!

Pros
I really love the color. It was the lip that I was asked the most questions about when I wore it - it's more of a deep pink than a true red.
Cons
It's too matte and really accentuates any flakiness. It also tends to clump up when applied, so you have to be careful. But the color is so pretty that I'm still wearing it despite those issues.
Tip
Applying it in a gradient looks nicer than a full-coverage lip. I've included a comparison photo with another lip product so you can see the color reference.

Pros
The color is beautiful. My friends bought this color after seeing it. Those who like matte finishes should definitely get this! Great color payoff👍
Cons
As it's a matte product, it can emphasize dry patches. It's really, really matte. Make sure to exfoliate and apply it carefully. Those who dislike pink should definitely test it out before purchasing. It transfers onto the cup. Ah, I didn't really like the scent. Be sure to smell it before buying. Also, I found it a bit thick to apply and it can get patchy if not applied properly.
Tip
I first apply the Mamonde Crayon Lipstick in Baby Rose underneath, and then use this on top in a gradient effect. It looks so pretty!! Everyone asks me what I'm wearing. You should try this combination too. I'll keep purchasing this duo.

Pros
Many people say that most lipsticks are extremely drying, but my lips aren't that dry. I apply it over the Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm, so it doesn't feel very drying. The color is not a bluish-pink, but a really pretty one. It's my holy grail pink lip product! The longevity is also quite good, and it doesn't bleed too much.
Cons
The formula is not a thin, lightweight one, so if you layer it on, it can get a bit powdery and clump up. Other than that, there's nothing else I'm really unhappy about.
Tip
It also works great as a blush!

Pros
The color is so beautiful! The lasting power is also good. The fragrance is great too.
Cons
It's hard to apply. In the seasonal transition, the peeling is a disaster... It's applied clumpily, sob sob. And the case is really shoddy.. I'm using it by sticking it with tape haha. And the lipstick contents have sunk down, so I'm using it by pushing it back in.
