ConsBut the matte texture is even more intense than the regular matte version, what's going on?

And the moment it settles on the lips, it becomes so fixed that it feels like it's my natural lip color, making the color last a really long time. The color itself is a deep red without any brownish or purplish undertones, so just one application gives you a perfect makeup look. While lining the lips with the same bold red looks great, if you lightly smudge it before it sets completely, you can create a nice pink-toned gradient effect. I was considering the Jungle Red from the Nars line, but it was too matte and had more brown tones, so I end up using this Retro Red more often. Also, being a Nars product, the sleek and beautiful packaging makes the lipstick feel even more luxurious.
ConsThe only downside, which is quite obvious, is that as a matte lipstick, you need to make sure to properly exfoliate your lips.
TipI usually mix this with the Coral Pink shade 12 from Laneige, applying it just to the inner part of my lips. This creates a nice gradient effect, and the Laneige formula is so moisturizing that it prevents any dryness or emphasizing of lip flakes, while still lasting a long time.

The design is top-notch *Incredibly pigmented. The color payoff is exactly as shown! *Perfect for those who love matte finishes
Cons**Be sure to swatch it in-store before purchasing. I only learned about it online and bought it through a friend, and when I first saw it, I was a bit worried it was a slightly darker red. Since my skin tone is more on the warm side, wearing Rita alone felt a bit overwhelming for me. **Since it's matte, make sure to exfoliate your lips before applying. **The same goes for the NARS lip pencils - the color payoff is quite sheer, so over time it may just leave a stain along the lip line.
Tip*If you lightly dab it onto your moisturized lips and then press your lips together, it will give a natural, flushed lip look. *It looks gorgeous layered over a nudey, dewy coral or pink shade as well!

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.ProsThe color payoff is amazing. It's a deep red, not too bright, with a slightly darker undertone, which was perfect for my warm-toned complexion. And (although it does transfer quite a bit) the longevity is also great! It seems the pigmentation is just right, so the color stays put.
ConsThe matte and long-lasting formula is actually a downside, as it transfers way too much. I tend to touch my lips a lot, and the lipstick not only transfers, but also clings to any flaky skin, making it look even worse. I was amazed at how well it stayed on, even when some of it had transferred. And the transferred bits are really stubborn to remove too... Of course, they come off with proper cleansing, but the little bits that get on my fingers from just lightly touching my lips don't disappear the way they normally would - this one just won't budge.
TipYou really need to apply a generous layer of lip balm first. I usually have minimal lip flakiness, but this one seems to accentuate even the barely visible ones, making them stand out. Of course, the color itself is absolutely gorgeous.

The lid has a magnetic closure, so there's no risk of it accidentally opening and ruining a newly purchased bag.
ConsIt's a bit matte, so it tends to accentuate dry patches. The capacity is small, so I end up using it sparingly since it's a bit pricey.

I'm a warm-toned person, but this color seems to suit both cool and warm tones.
ConsSince it's a matte type, it can accentuate any flakiness.
TipI have rather dry lips, so I applied a lip balm first and then layered this product on top to keep my lips moisturized.
