While there may seem to be many similar colors, this one feels uniquely distinctive. ✅ Pigmentation - MAC's pigmentation is simply unbeatable. Just a light swatch gives you a rich, intense color payoff.
Cons✅ Even if it's matte... - MAC lipsticks aren't particularly moisturizing to begin with, and the matte formula accentuates this dryness even further. For lips that don't exfoliate well, the dry, flaky texture becomes even more pronounced.. A very parched, dehydrated lip feel..
TipAdequate lip moisturizing or using a balm underneath can help mitigate the overly matte sensation a bit ㅠㅠ

It's really, really beautiful The color is so beautiful ㅠㅜㅠ I don't think there will be the same color as this one ㅠ
ConsI think this is too matte for me ㅠ When my lips are in bad condition, it really accentuates the flakiness and gets all blotchy ㅠㅜ Can you please provide the same color in a more hydrating formula?

It looks gorgeous on its own and also looks stunning when mixed with other colors.
ConsOverall, it feels a bit dry. It would be better if it was a little more moisturizing.

The color is vibrant yet not overpowering, and it's just so pretty!
ConsAs a retro matte, it is quite drying. It feels like it's sucking the moisture out of my lips. So you definitely need to do lip scrub and apply it properly. You also need to have a solid lip base.
TipI'm not sure if this is a tip, but I always apply it together with the MAC lip primer. The MAC lip primer is like a lip balm, so it works well. When you apply them together, the retro matte just gives a nice matte finish. But if you have any lip flakes, the coverage won't work, so you must remove the flakes before applying it.

Other lipsticks all disappear after eating, but this product only fades, never fully goes away, so it was great for me who doesn't reapply makeup often! The staying power is truly amazing!!!!
ConsIt's matte!! Extremely matte I've heard it's the most matte among MAC lipsticks Staying power and moisture content are inversely proportional...the application is not smooth The application is like a crayon.
TipYou need to use it with a lip balm...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI bought it because I heard IU wore it well, but at first I didn't like the color and didn't use it much. But lately I've been using it more often. The color is really pretty. I'm not good at tones, so I'm not sure about the tone, but it's a pretty floral pink that people who like pink lips would like. If you buy it without trying the swatch and feel it doesn't suit you, you can lightly apply it and then mix it with a red lip that suits you better, and you'll like it. The formula seems to apply better than the Rubywoo in the same retro matte line.
ConsYou have to be careful about lip flakes with matte lips, but since I knew matte lips aren't moisturizing, I'm not too disappointed about that.
TipI use it with the Wakemake Color Styler VL01, and it seems to go well with the Canmake Glow Fleur Cheek in Apricot Flower too. But I'm not sure if they're a perfect match or not. If there's a blush that goes well with them, please recommend it.

The pinkish color with a hint of red made me look bright as soon as I put it on, like turning on a fluorescent light.
ConsI have a few of them stocked up and use them. It has a slightly matte feel to it. I would not recommend it to those who prefer a more hydrating formula.

The cool-toned color really makes your complexion glow!! Your face looks so fair and just simply lovely💞🌸
ConsWhile I agree the retro matte finish is a nice touch, it would have looked better if it was applied more evenly..! Even for a budget product, that uneven application doesn't look great.
Tip"Living is the best tip."

However, without exfoliating the lips, it can become a flaky mess. The color payoff is long-lasting and stunningly vibrant, with a refreshing tone that seems perfect for summer.
ConsThe lipstick tends to get dirty around the edges, and a slightly more hydrating formula would be preferable.

At first, I thought it was too red, but it ended up giving my lips a fluorescent pink tint, which I was surprised by. However, it makes my face look radiant, so I've been applying it frequently.
ConsSince it's a matte lipstick, it can get flaky and dry when applied. If you're looking for a more moisturizing finish, using this alone won't be enough.
TipI tend to apply a lot of it in a gradient, so when my lips get too dry, I use foundation to smooth them out and then apply lip balm before putting on the lipstick.
