Pros
Even though I'm the type of person whose complexion looks off just by applying lipstick, this one is really great!!
Cons
The lasting power is a bit disappointing since it's a lipstick, but the color is so pretty that I can overlook that

Pros
The color on the far right (near the elbow) in the photo is Cainde Sexy. The swatch on the forearm is a bit pinkish, but it turns into a nude shade on the lips. While wearing it as a full lip may be too much, it seems good for cleaning up lip color and using as a base shade.
Cons
I'm not sure about the longevity. It might be difficult to wear on its own.

Pros
This is considered one of the essential nude tones, as it is the quintessential nude lipstick. It applies smoothly and does not emphasize flaky skin.
Cons
As it is a lipstick, the longevity is not as long-lasting as I would like.
Tip
The lipstick color is perfect for fall, so it pairs beautifully with a fall-themed eyeshadow look.

Pros
The bright color doesn't really suit me, but Kinda Sexy is kind of sexy. When I put it on top, it looks good. The color is a nudish tone, so it's a bit lacking if used alone, but it's the best as a base. In fact, the Aritaum Creamy Tint in Coral Beige was perfect, but since it's no longer available, I ended up settling on Kinda Sexy after searching for other options. Melted Matte has better application, but it's a bit too intense to use as a base. So I keep using Kinda Sexy as my base, and even though the colors look similar, the actual color on the lips is different. It's a matte lip, but not overly matte. It's a slightly dewy matte lip, but you still need a lip balm. In the photo, the one on the left is Kinda Sexy, and the one next to it is Melted Matte.
Cons
It's good as a base, but lacking if used alone. The longevity is not great. With MAC lipsticks, you have to compromise on longevity.
Tip
It's good to use as a base.

Pros
This is a stunning color! The texture is smooth and creamy, and the nude shade is absolutely gorgeous. It's a perfect blend of pink and nudey beige tones. It works great as a base lip color, providing a subtle, natural-looking flush without overwhelming the face. The signature MAC lipstick scent is present, which some may love or hate. Personally, I'm a fan :)
Cons
There is a bit of feathering and the longevity is short. It wears off completely when eating. Given the light color, it can accentuate any lip flakiness, and it doesn't provide much smoothing or hydrating feel. However, I can't resist this beautiful shade, so I carry it with me and reapply it frequently.
Tip
Be sure to gently exfoliate your lips before applying for the best results! Shade 23/Autumn Mute/Pink Beige, a toned-down coral, a nude color preference

Pros
The color is absolutely gorgeous! It's a coral shade, very close to a nude tone. This is the color I've been searching for forever, and I'm so glad I finally found it. I don't regret it at all. Even if nude tones don't suit you, you can use this as a base and apply a slightly darker color on the inner part of your lips - it will look much prettier.
Cons
The longevity is... well, it's a lipstick after all. There's no helping it. When I apply it while doing my makeup, I can use foundation to kill the natural lip color (since my lips are quite pigmented, they tend to lean more towards the purple side), and it looks great. But when I need to retouch during the day, I have to apply it directly on top of my natural lip color, so the color ends up looking a bit different.
Tip
Use a foundation or BB cream to neutralize your lip color first, and then apply this! It will look stunning!

Pros
The color is beautiful and it's a nude pink, which is a fitting color for fall. If your complexion is sun-kissed, it will give you a similar look to a Western girl's lips. If your complexion is a bit brighter, it will give you a delicate, feminine feel. For a lipstick, the scent is quite sweet!
Cons
As it's a lipstick, the longevity and bleeding are somewhat unavoidable, but that's to be expected.
Tip
It looks nicer if you apply it with a gradient effect from the inner part of the lips, rather than a full coverage application.

Pros
This alone can surprisingly go well with fall makeup and the color is not too strong, so it's really useful when doing gradient lip.
Cons
Since it's matte, those of you like me who have dry lips need to do lip care and use it. Otherwise, the color will fade and look painful. The staying power also drops a lot. Since it's not a bright color but a nude tone, it's more noticeable when it wears off. But then again, it's too dry to keep reapplying, so there are times when it's a bit awkward to use.
Tip
Apply lip balm generously on your lips the night before, and reapply it once more before starting your makeup that day. If you try to remove the lip color with something like powder before applying the lipstick, your lips will get too dry and all the lip wrinkles will show, so it's better to just apply it. The color is closer to a nude tone than MLBB, so you can use it as a daily, but then it's more noticeable that you're wearing something. If you're going to use it daily, I recommend mixing it with other colors. * The first photo is when I only used this color. You can see it's almost the same or slightly darker. * The second photo compares it to the famous MAC Chili and NARS Dolce Vita. I often use this with a gradient of MAC Chili, and it really has a nice vibe.
