Pros
The spring warm + summer cool combination seems to go well with the pink. While a pure spring warm may feel a bit cool and a pure summer cool may feel a bit warm, the pink is recommended for those who can pull it off nicely. Additionally, true to its retro matte line, the lipstick demonstrates incredible staying power and lasting ability. It is one of the products with the best lasting power among lipsticks, and the fluorescent color makes it a frequently used shade among MAC products.
Cons
The only major downside would be the slightly thick application and some accentuation of dry patches.
Tip
The middle photo is taken with the rear camera, and the one on the right is taken with the front camera. While it's a well-known makeup artist's tip, applying the lipstick, placing a tissue over the lips, and setting it with powder can help it last even longer.

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
I often use fall and spring warm tones, but I also love using cool-toned lipsticks! My extremely summer-cool friend let me borrow hers once, and it was like turning on a fluorescent light on my face, so I bought it. It's not a summer cool, but I highly recommend it for those with fair skin. I also recommend it to spring warm-toned people~~ It makes your face look brighter and very nice!! When you apply this blush with a fluffy blush, it makes for a great juicy makeup finish! True to its retro matte lipstick nature, it has a powdery finish, and the gradient is also very well-done just with patting! It applies smoothly without any clumping, which I like. In the winter, adding a gloss on top makes it look very pretty👍
Cons
There are no particular downsides.

Pros
This is truly my favorite lipstick💖 It seems to be a MAC product that has not been discontinued and has consistently been available, and the color is the most beautiful, so it has become a classic staple in my makeup pouch. Color: It has a vibrant neon pink feel, but when applied to the lips, the neon brightness is not as strong, and it's a highly pigmented, lovely azalea pink shade that doesn't look tacky. Texture: It's matte, but it doesn't feel overly drying? There is some emphasis on flaky skin, but it doesn't seem to cause too much flakiness, at least in my experience. Especially if you apply a sheer base coat and dab it on the inner lips, it looks even prettier!!! If you've been eyeing the other shades and like the color but are hesitant about the bright, bold appearance of the actual lipstick, I'd recommend giving it a try at least once!
Cons
Since it's matte, if your lips are not in the best condition, it can emphasize patchiness and flakiness! It's drying, so in the winter, you'll need to apply extra moisture.
Tip
Apply a glossy, dewy nude-toned lip, and dab it on the inner lips with a lip brush or directly from the stick, and you can create the perfect summer cool-toned lip look💖

Pros
I have a cool-toned complexion...finding the right lip color is really tough.... As a deep cool-toned person, it's even more challenging... Trying to look fresh and youthful by emulating NewJeans is quite difficult for me. But in the midst of my frantic search, I found this product. When I want a radiant look, I use MAC Relentlessly Red, And when I want a more subdued appearance, I use MAC Veritable. As expected, MAC's lip colors are amazing - great pigmentation and a slightly sweet scent 👍👍👍👍
Cons
The downside is that I don't look good without makeup... The lipstick can be a bit drying, so I apply lip balm before and after 😭😭 For us cool-toned 'Hongik people', skin prep is essential
Tip
Before applying lipstick, I usually use a lip balm. And after applying the lipstick, I use a tube-type lip balm to keep my lips hydrated

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.

The fluorescent color looks really pretty when applied in the summer - it's bright, vibrant, and has a cool tone.
Cons
Whether it suits you or not seems to depend a lot on your skin tone that day.

A matte and fair-skinned person can apply this color as a nice color accent, and it's a good color to wear in the summer.
Cons
If people with yellow-toned skin apply this, their skin will instantly turn a dull, fecal color.

Pros
I've been using this for several years now and it's great. It makes my skin look radiant and luminous, so I use it often.
Cons
In the winter, ㅋㅋㅋㅋ it really ㅜㅜ becomes very matte if I don't exfoliate, and it just gets cakey.
Tip
This lip balm keeps my lips moisturized and smooth. This is truly my life-changing lip product.
