Pros
As a big fan, this is my favorite color! When I wear this, my face just lights up like a fluorescent light - I love it so much! In my opinion, it suits me better in the winter than in the summer :)
Cons
Since it's a matte lipstick, the flaky skin on my lips really stands out ㅠㅠ Even after applying lip balm, the dry skin is still very noticeable. I think exfoliating my lips is a must! The photo is just with lip balm, no exfoliating, and you can see how prominent the flaky skin is ㅠㅠ
Tip
Lip balm is a must before applying!!!

Pros
I purchased this tint because I wanted to try a matte lip. A YouTuber recommended it, and when I used it as a base, it looked so pretty that I decided to buy it. Color❤️ The color of the Rich & Restless tint is a salmon shade with a hint of white. However, since I bought it to use as a base, I'm very satisfied with using it. At first, it has a strong white cast, but after a few minutes, the redness of my lips seems to come through a bit more. But I don't really like wearing it on its own, so I apply it as a base and then put a deeper color in the center, and voila! Perfection. Application💚 Surprisingly, when I used this for a Hwahae app review, it covered the stained areas that other lipsticks couldn't remove, making them disappear. The texture is like paint - it dries quickly, so you have to work fast with the gradation. You have to be careful not to apply too much, as that can become problematic. Longevity💛 Ah, the matte formula really gives great longevity. Accentuates Dryness & Wrinkles😢 Haha, this tint is great as a base, but once applied, it really makes my lip wrinkles stand out. The matte tint formula can vary, but this one tends to emphasize dryness a bit. ✨Great as a base👍🏻
Cons
Since it's part of the Retro Matte line, it accentuates dryness and wrinkles, which is a bit disappointing..

Pros
That's the trendy color that the makeup artist sisters are wearing at the MAC store It's a really pretty coral color bbbbb It has good staying power and works well as a base lip color
Cons
It can feel a bit too matte And it's a polarizing color that can look unflattering on some people
Tip
This one needs to be applied fully on the lips to look nice, so do a solid application instead of a gradient! The one on the right in the photo is a bit lighter

Pros
The color is pretty and applies richly, so a small amount can be used. It also seems to have good staying power. I bought it from the US, so I got it a bit cheaper.
Cons
It's a matte liquid, so it's difficult to apply. I only wear it when my lips are in good condition, and I generally prefer to apply something more moisturizing, so I don't reach for this one often.

Pros
The color is so pretty and there was almost no accentuation of flaky skin!!
Cons
If you apply too much, it tends to become too matte! So I apply a little and blend it out! I think that looks prettier as well

Pros
First of all, the color seems so pretty. This was the first product that made me realize that pink can suit warm-toned people as well! However, it's not an overly vibrant or bold pink, but more of a pinkish-orange tone, if you will. When applied in small amounts, it doesn't go on too heavily, so you can achieve a natural, beautiful look. And once applied, it doesn't transfer much even when drinking water or going about your daily activities, so the longevity is really impressive.
Cons
Since the formula tends to set to a matte finish quite quickly, it can be a bit tricky to apply. You'll need to blend it out several times using your fingers or a cotton swab. And for those with a lot of lip flakiness, it might be challenging to create a smooth, healthy-looking appearance with this particular formula.
Tip
Before buying the product, I had read many reviews saying that it dries down to a very matte finish and is difficult to apply. Luckily, keeping those reviews in mind, I was able to make it work well for me. In my case, I first apply a generous amount of lip balm, like the Yuri Anju lip balm, to my bare lips. After letting it sit for about five minutes, I gently blot away the excess oil with a tissue. This leaves a bit of a hydrated base for the lipstick. Then, I take an appropriate amount of the Restless lipstick on the back of my hand and use my fingertips to lightly dab it onto my lips. Applying it directly from the tube can make it challenging to control the amount, but this two-step process helps me achieve a beautiful, even application.

Pros
The reason I pick this product is undoubtedly its long-lasting wear. Even though I've found products with good lasting power, they often end up splotchy or don't stay on my lips, so I've never had a go-to lip product. But this one has incredible lasting power. If you really love an ultra-matte finish, this product will be perfect for you - it has an extreme matte look and incredible staying power.
Cons
This is my favorite line from MAC, but the color selection is just too limited 😢 There also seems to be a slight tone restriction, and the matte formula isn't just a regular matte, but a drying, stiff matte texture. So when you first use it, you might feel like it's a bit suffocating and doesn't quite fit.

Pros
The color was exactly the MLBB (My Lips But Better) shade I was looking for, so it was absolutely gorgeous. It wasn't too much and looked naturally pretty, so I'm very satisfied with the color.
Cons
It was fine when I first applied it, but when I layered it, it became matte and accentuated the flakiness of my lips, which was a bit disappointing.

Pros
This would be a great option for those who love coral shades. The color payoff is vibrant and vivid. The longevity is not too bad, but you'll need to reapply after meals.
Cons
After application, it becomes quite matte after a while. There's a feeling of a thin film forming on the lips. When it wears off, it does so in a flaky manner, making touch-ups a bit tricky.
Tip
Among the bullet lipsticks, Tropical Tonic has a very similar color to this one. For me, it accentuates flakiness, so I mix it with Tropical Tonic, but it still doesn't improve much... The color is really pretty, but it varies from person to person. I'd personally recommend Tropical Tonic over this one.

Pros
The good thing is that... I'm not really sure. The color payoff seems to be good though.
Cons
I usually like matte finishes, so I mostly wear matte lipsticks. But this one really emphasizes the flakiness of my lips. Plus, it sits on my face like a highlighter, making the flakiness look even worse... Everyone's skin is different, so be sure to test it out before purchasing!
