Pros
It's incredibly matte and has great staying power! It doesn't transfer much onto the straw or mask either, so I've been reaching for it a lot lately! The pigmentation is strong, so a little goes a long way!
Cons
The price is a bit high, I think. The pigmentation is so strong that even using a little, the product doesn't seem to run out. I'm worried about hygiene since I end up using it for a long time, except when wearing a mask.
Tip
Buy it when it's discounted or at the duty-free shop!

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
I don't usually wear matte lipsticks, but this one had a creamy texture and great color payoff and longevity.
Cons
However, you need to be careful with the application amount.
Tip
I apply it with a lip brush.

Pros
This lip liquid is the best! I've been using the MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick for 3 years now! I have a lot of flakiness on my lips, so when I use regular lipsticks, a lot of flakes appear, and when I use tints, the color only shows up in the middle of my lips. I happened to see this product on social media, and I bought it because of the claim that it has good staying power. And let me tell you, it's a miracle! There's no emphasizing of the flakes, and it's matte but my lips don't feel dry. Plus, the staying power is incredible! Even after eating, it doesn't come off easily, and it's still there after brushing my teeth. I think I'll only be using this lip product from now on!
Cons
Honestly, since I've found the perfect lip product, there's nothing I'm unhappy about. The price is reasonable, and it lasts a long time.
Tip
I use this lip color as a cheek tint when I go out on the weekends, and the color is absolutely gorgeous. The cheek tint also has excellent staying power!! Give it a try!!

Pros
The color is so beautiful, the longevity is also very good, and the pigmentation is deep and rich.
Cons
Accentuates flaky skin...haha When the coverage is uneven or on days when it doesn't apply well, it looks cakey and really doesn't apply at all.
Tip
As a tip, apply a small amount to your lips and then gently pat and spread it out with your fingers quickly!

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
Personally, I think the color is prettier than Tropictonic. The longevity is also great! A little goes a long way.
Cons
The appearance is weak......really....I've never dropped other products before, but this one started to separate after dropping it a few times...Ugh, that's why I had to throw it all away. But I still want to repurchase it because the color is so pretty..
Tip
It's best to be careful not to drop it!

Pros
Hello :) Today, I found a Mac product rolling around at home, so I quickly rushed to Hwahae to check it out. Hmm, as soon as I saw it, I swatched it, and the swatch was amazing 😘 It doesn't seem to be an MLBB, but it's like turning on a fluorescent light on your face...? I chose the 6-month option since it seemed a few months old, but it's almost brand new... After trying it, the longevity is great, and the color payoff (?) is amazing (better than Peripera). You have to dab it on your lips to get a normal swatch, otherwise, if you just swipe it, your lips will stand out like you're going to a club or something... The color is a perfect coral, a pink coral. When swatched on the back of my hand, there's a slight orange tinge, but when applied on the lips, the orange disappears, and it becomes a nice pink coral. It's better to use it with a deeper red-leaning color in the center, which makes it look more natural! And this product really clings to the lips, so there's minimal transfer. It's also great for overlining. Not really recommended for students! I'm a coral lip enthusiast, and I don't like tints, so I'd recommend this!
Cons
The downside is that.. the swatch becomes too intense. If you just swipe it on without knowing.......... You have to dab it on and blend it with your finger or a cotton swab, which is a bit annoying.. the laziness is ugh.
Tip
Dabbing it on and blending it with a cotton swab can create an even prettier lip look!! And adding a red-toned tint or lipstick in the center can make it look more natural (fresh and innocent).

Pros
The color payoff is quite good and the longevity is decent as well. After dabbing it 2-3 times on the lips and spreading it out, it looks so pretty ^~^/
Cons
It tends to bleed out and makes my face look dull :( If you use it without applying lip balm first, it really emphasizes the flaky skin, so be sure to apply lip balm before using it!
