If you have darker skin, this might make your complexion appear dull. When I used it without any base makeup, it made my face look quite sallow.

I bought this after being diagnosed with a deep undertone personal color and receiving a recommendation. The color is quite bright and vibrant, so I found it a bit overwhelming for a full lip look. Instead, I've been using it for a gradient lip effect!

매트 립스틱 [트로픽토닉]

Try applying a generous amount of Vaseline to your lips at night.

My lips tend to be on the dry side, so when I apply this, it accentuates the dead skin cells.

My mom gave this to me. I think I have a cool undertone rather than a deep one, but I really suit coral colors well. The shade of this lipstick is truly beautiful on me.

It severely emphasizes dead skin cells and the staying power is mediocre. When lips are dry, it doesn't apply at all...

The color matches deep undertones beautifully and applies smoothly with a lip balm

It has a deep undertone, but there's a slight white cast that can make it appear a bit off on some complexions.

This shade would look beautiful on warm skin tones. Although it's a matte lipstick, it applies smoothly and evenly.

We all know we buy MAC for the gorgeous colors, not necessarily for the application. As expected, the application isn't the best, and it tends to accentuate dead skin cells a bit. But what can you do when the color is just so irresistibly beautiful?

This is an absolute must-have for those with deep undertones! It's a coral shade with a subtle fluorescent hint, but it's not overpowering at all - just the right amount. There's a slight white undertone that makes it incredibly beautiful. I can't stress enough how perfect this is for deep undertone folks. Highly, highly recommended! The color is simply stunning.

I think it looks even prettier when applied on its own, without any base products underneath!

There's a slight fluorescent tint, which might not sit well on those who don't suit fluorescent shades. It could potentially look a bit off on some skin types!

It complements warm skin tones beautifully, making your face look radiant and lively.

It's more matte and warmer than expected. If you have dry lips, make sure to apply lip balm before using this product.

A perfect, pretty coral shade that suits warm skin tones beautifully. Highly recommended if you enjoy matte textures.

The only downside is that it's a bit matte, but other than that, it's pretty great

The color is beautiful and seems to suit my deep undertone really well

For best results, prep your lips with a primer or lip balm. Apply the lipstick by gently patting it on, then blend it towards the center of your lips. This technique gives you a complete look without needing to layer, making it a one-and-done application!

Like many international lipsticks, the ingredients are a bit disappointing. As someone who usually prefers moisturizing lip balms or lipsticks, I find the matte finish a bit dry. I wouldn't dare try MAC's Retro Matte line; this is about as matte as I can handle. It's just right for those who love a smooth, velvety finish.

As a Spring type with a hint of Summer, I have bright skin with a slight yellow undertone. This color is the quintessential coral with a touch of white - it's so pretty! I can see why it's so popular. Among the coral shades I own, this one strikes a perfect balance, neither too warm nor too cool. It's vibrant, making it perfect for Spring and Summer. I think this coral would suit even those with darker complexions.

For best results, I suggest applying a nude base first, then layering this on top. Pro tip: apply once, blot with a tissue, then reapply for significantly longer wear time.

While it may vary from person to person, it's worth noting that this has a semi-matte finish. When applied to bare lips, it might feel less long-lasting compared to a fully matte formula.

I highly recommend this product for warm-toned skin and coral lovers. It applies smoothly with great color payoff and doesn't settle into fine lines. The shade is just right - not too muted, not too milky - it beautifully enhances your natural complexion. Perfect for everyday wear. I stocked up on a few when I was at the duty-free shop.

For best results, exfoliate your lips before application to ensure a smooth finish.

Since the color isn't as intense as a true red, it can make dry, flaky lips more noticeable.

I received a MAC mini lipstick as a birthday gift and it's absolutely gorgeous! The color is so natural. It's not a moisturizing formula, but rather a matte style. The shade seems to be a coral with a hint of pink.

Make sure to use a lip prep and primer together with this lipstick.

It's matte, so very matte! The color isn't intense, which unfortunately makes dead skin cells more noticeable.

This is the MAC lipstick shade I reach for most often. It's a coral with a hint of white. Since I have quite fair skin, this subtle hue complements my complexion beautifully.
