Pros
I'm using Kinda Sexy! The base lip is the best.. The formula is really matte, but it gives a smooth, adhered feel on the lips. I use Kinda Sexy to tidy up my lip color, and then add a slightly moisturizing lip on top - it's a perfect combo! The chocolate-like sweet scent is also so lovely.
Cons
Not really any major downsides, but the packaging could be a bit better for the price.

Pros
The texture was smooth and the sweet scent was pleasant when I applied it. Haha
Cons
I bought it to use as an overlip, but the color didn't match, so I just used it as a base! It didn't match my skin tone, and when I used it as an overlip, the color really stood out. It seems like a lipstick that would suit cool-toned people. I'm warm-toned, and the light pink color just didn't work, it felt like it was doing its own thing.... For warm-toned people, it seems like a brownish tone would be more suitable.
Tip
It would look pretty if worn alone by those it suits!!!

Pros
I love the color. It's natural-looking, yet sophisticated, a nude pink that is perfect for my warm-toned skin. I've been using this product for over a year now and have never regretted my purchase. The natural pink color works well for both bold and light makeup looks. The matte texture is also great. It has a vanilla-chocolate (?) scent that can feel a bit heavy in the summer. While some may not like the fragrance, I personally enjoy it.
Cons
The product ingredients are a bit disappointing. If the ingredients were better, it would be a perfect 5-star product, but because of the ingredients, I'm taking off one star.
Tip
Since this is a matte formula that can emphasize dry patches, be sure to exfoliate and apply the product carefully.

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 was nice and there was hardly any scent, which I liked. It was my style.
Cons
It was a bit lacking, but there was a slight scent and occasional sensation of puffiness.

Pros
▶️ Color Around last winter, I really wanted to buy an MLBB (My Lips But Better) lipstick color, so I looked around. MAC has such a wide variety of colors, so I had a lot of options to choose from. The slightly pinkish beige color seemed suitable for cool-toned skin, so I ended up purchasing the 'Kinda Sexy' shade. ▶️ Fragrance It has a luxurious lipstick scent(?). My friend told me what the fragrance was, but I've forgotten ㅠㅠ Many people say the fragrance is nice, but personally, I'm not too fond of it... Haha ^.^; ▶️ Texture Although it's described as a matte lipstick, it doesn't feel overly dry on the lips. It takes a while to dry down, so it can maintain moisture for quite a long time. However, after about 2-3 hours, I feel like I need to apply lip balm. The caking effect appears when there's oil on the lips, or if I keep reapplying. The initial application spreads evenly and looks beautiful.
Cons
I'm really satisfied with it. The lipstick quality is quite good. I also like the shape of the case! Purely personal opinion, but if I had to pick something, it would be the lipstick fragrance?! It's not a scent I'm particularly fond of...ㅎㅎ
Tip
It's very useful for creating gradient lips. After applying this product all over the lips, you can use a darker lipstick in the inner part of the lips to achieve a beautiful gradient effect! You can also create a stylish makeup look by wearing this shade alone~

Pros
I suddenly got hooked on MLBB and ended up buying it. I also looked into a lot of other brand products, but this Mac Kinda Sexy color is the one that I like the most. I was worried that it might look unnatural or make me look tired, but luckily it suits me well. I also like the subtle chocolate scent. It has a light pink/peach tone, so it doesn't look lifeless.
Cons
The price... And since it's matte, it tends to accentuate flaky skin, so I'll have to take good care of my lips.

Pros
The scent is nice The packaging is also simple and neat.
Cons
I ordered it online without being able to swatch it in the store. Looking at the swatches from bloggers (and Lili's swatch), while they can vary a bit person to person, I thought this was the kind of feel I'd like and bought it. To cut to the chase, it doesn't suit me as a warm-toned person. The color has a sort of 'lone ranger' feel? And for some reason, since my lips are a bit thin, it seems to suit me even less.
Tip
I recommend swatching it in the store before purchasing.

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.
