Pros
💋Color - It's a muted, coral color with a dried rose feel. It's a little darker than the photo, but when you actually apply it, it's not like that at all^♡^ 💋Application - When applied to the back of the hand, the muted feeling disappears and it's really pretty🙈 But strangely, when applied to the lips, it has a slightly orange tint. It's not extremely noticeable, just a subtle feeling. It could be due to my lip color or face tone. 💋Matte & Emphasis on Flakiness - Since it's a matte lip, you might be worried about emphasizing flakiness, but fortunately this product lives up to the brand's reputation. That's not to say there's no emphasis on flakiness at all, but it's manageable👏🏻 💋Longevity - The longevity... I'm not sure. If you apply a lip balm on top after putting it on, it seems to last a bit longer.
Cons
🦭 It's not the lip of a lifetime, so I took off one star... but it still works well.
Tip
For those worried about emphasizing flakiness with a matte lip, applying a lip balm before using it can help🐳

Pros
This lipstick is truly unforgettable, reminding me of cherished moments in my life. I wore this lipstick when I fell in love, and the beautiful color and subtle shading made me look so elegant. Even as I write this review, the color is vividly etched in my memory. It's a unique shade, a blend of coral and light brown that is simply indescribable. This is a color that suits almost anyone, a true testament to the brand's excellent color selection.
Cons
The formula is not the best, as it can be a bit drying. You'll need to use a primer or a more moisturizing lip product to prevent emphasizing fine lines. However, the color alone makes it worth the purchase.

Pros
While it's considered a warm-toned color, it doesn't really suit me as I'm more of a cool-toned person. It's a slightly nudish coral beige that looks fresh and innocent without being harsh.
Cons
The only downside is that it may not be the best fit for cool-toned individuals, but other than that, there aren't really any major drawbacks.

Pros
I purchased this product because I liked the nude lip look. After reviewing the reviews, it seems like it has a slightly pink-toned nude color, but when I received it, it's actually a coral color. I'm not sure about the pink undertone, but to my eyes, it looks like a coral color with a milky finish. While the color wasn't what I expected, when I applied it to my lips, it turned out quite nice. It felt a bit drying, but there's a slight oiliness to it, so the surface appears matte while the inside feels moisturized.
Cons
The moisturizing quality mentioned in the pros is actually a big downside for me. If it's going to be matte, I'd rather it be fully matte. The in-between oily texture causes the color to settle into lip lines and makes an even gradient application almost impossible, as the color just wipes off easily when I try to blend it.
Tip
I apply this product very lightly and use a higher-intensity lip color to create a gradient effect.

Pros
As you can see from the photos, I've used it quite a bit and will leave a review here. 1. Color It's a mix of brown tones and a bit of coral tones, so it's not a pure nude tone. If you're trying out nude tones for the first time, I'd recommend this color! 2. Pigmentation When applied to the lips, the color that comes out is just as you see, which is nice:)
Cons
Of course, the matte-ness of MAC is just insane. It seems unusually more matte, so you need to be careful😣
Tip
The lip balm can't prevent the matte-ness of MAC, and if you use a lot of Vaseline, the lipstick will clump and slide. So just use a tiny bit of Vaseline and apply it in a way that creates a sense of adhesion as the base.🤗

Pros
The nude color was so nice, it had a slight peach/pink tint to the nude lip, so it was great as a base.
Cons
If there is creasing and the lip condition is not good, it will cause a lot of trouble when applied, so you must exfoliate and then apply it.

Pros
It has such good pigmentation that it can be called a 'national nude tone'. As it is a nudish peach tone, even just applying the lip color gives a healthy glow to the bare face, making it suitable for everyday use.
Cons
As it is a MAC Bullet Lipstick, the price is not great. If the lips have a lot of wrinkles due to the matte finish, it can accentuate the lip wrinkles.
Tip
It looks prettier if you don't apply the lip color heavily and let the natural lip color show through.

Pros
I'm someone who really loves nude-toned cosmetics. When doing eye makeup, I think it looks so harmonious and pretty to add a bit of strong color and then apply a nude-toned lipstick. It's perfect for fall makeup! MAC Kindly Sexy has a touch of coral and brown tones mixed in, so even those who find nude tones burdensome or have a slightly darker complexion can enjoy using it. It's a nude tone, but quite bright and coral-y? It's so gorgeous that I couldn't help but write a review♡ And the lipstick has a truly delicious chocolate scent. Those who dislike sweet smells may not like it, but for me, it's right up my alley - the scent makes me feel good while I'm applying the lipstick. It really does smell like chocolate, making me want to take a bite out of the lipstick. Haha
Cons
Since it's a matte lipstick, accentuating lip flakes and creasing are unavoidable. If you don't want to have a lip flake party, make sure to generously apply lip balm before putting on the lipstick... And even after cleansing in the evening, you'll need to take care of your lips! You have to be diligent if you want to wear a beautiful matte lipstick.

Pros
Nude lip must-have!! I originally used a coral-toned lip balm, but now it's coral + nude!! Using my 3rd repurchase :)
Cons
There's nothing I didn't like~ I heard it was hard to get during the big nude tone craze, but I bought it right away~
Tip
If you use a creamy sheen on top of a kind of sexy base, you get an absolutely gorgeous color that's a mix of nude and coral!!

Pros
It has a slightly coral-toned nude tone, so it looks pretty with just one layer, and it's also good to layer a deeper color on top. The staying power seems quite good for a lipstick.
Cons
If the lips are chapped, the matte lipstick can cling and cause peeling. Even after applying lip balm, it still tends to feather. It would be better to pretreat the lips and then apply the lipstick.
