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
IU's lipstick is famous, so I applied it and it has a vibrant color and a matte texture 💞 I wore it with just sunglasses and took a really pretty selfie ㅎ
Cons
MAC lipstick causes flakiness, which is disappointing, but the color is so beautiful that I still love it ㅠ

Pros
The vibrant pink color seems a bit too bold. This color would be a perfect match for fair-skinned individuals.
Cons
It's quite thick, so you'll need to exfoliate well before applying. It doesn't have much pigmentation, so you'll have to reapply it periodically.

Pros
The color is so beautiful. It's a cool and vivid pink, an irreplaceable Relentlessly Red that I've never seen a similar color to anywhere else. It's like a fluorescent light on your bare face.
Cons
It's quite thick and extremely matte in texture, so you'll need to exfoliate well before applying it.
Tip
I recommend doing light eye makeup when wearing this. The lip color should be the focus for the best look.

Pros
When I saw the product, I was worried it would make me look like Doo-Hee because it's such a vibrant pink, but when I applied it lightly on the inner part of my lips, it turned out to be a really lovely, subtle pink shade!
Cons
As expected... But since it's a pink color, it seems to suit cool-toned people much better than warm-toned ones.
Tip
If you apply a base color and then dab it on the inner part, you can create a natural-looking gradient effect!

Pros
It's brighter and more summer-friendly than I expected, so I love using it except in the winter.
Cons
It does get a bit dry though. By lunchtime, it's a flaky party ㅠㅠㅠ
Tip
Apply lip balm generously, wipe it off, and reapply ㅠㅠ

Pros
The color was a bit different when I applied it to my wrist versus my lips. On my wrist, it had a floral pink feel, but on my lips, it came out a bit more neon and vibrant. The color is so pretty that I'm just lightly dabbing it on.
Cons
I had read the reviews before buying, so I expected it to be thick, but it's actually even harder to apply than I thought. It's matte and really emphasizes any flakiness, so I have to exfoliate before applying it.

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.
