But Taupe is just so easy to apply - a quick swipe and a bit of blending, and it looks absolutely beautiful. It's MAC, so... what more needs to be said? The absorbs well, and the color payoff is excellent. Just a heads up - don't rely too much on the swatch photo! It was taken in low light, so there's quite a difference from how it looks in person.
ConsIt transfers easily onto everything. I'm generally quite forgiving when it comes to cosmetics, so apart from the transfer issue, I think it's pretty good. However, because it smudges so easily, I can't really wear it with a mask. I only use it when I want to look my best for someone special, willing to put up with the inconvenience.

It glides on smoothly without being too matte. The color leans towards brown, so it might not suit those who prefer lighter or pinkish lip colors.
ConsThe staying power is quite poor. It doesn't stain the lips at all. I used it without major issues, but it might not be suitable for those who prioritize long-lasting wear.
TipSince it's a darker shade, I found it works better when layered with a lip color that has a bit more of a reddish tone, rather than using it alone.

Works great when applied lightly with minimal makeup -> Absorbs well and has good color payoff
Cons-> No specific drawbacks, though being a matte lipstick, it may feel a bit drying on the lips

It creates a lovely ambiance when applied in autumn and winter. The shade is brownish... perhaps a muted bronzer tone? While MAC tends to emphasize dead skin cells and fails in hydration, this one is fairly decent.
ConsThere's some bleeding. Apply it very lightly, just once. The color becomes too thick if applied more than once. While the color looks similar to Lancôme, it's not as moisturizing. It has that late 90s brick color, so a lip liner is necessary.
TipIt looks pretty with one application, but becomes tacky if layered multiple times. The color can make you look a bit older, so it's best to blend it. Younger folks might be called 'ma'am' if they wear it alone.

It's perfect for autumn. Even though some say it looks bold, I find it beautiful. It applies as a reddish-brown shade.
ConsThe downside is that sometimes... I look a bit sickly... I apply it because I think it's pretty, but when I look in the mirror, I occasionally appear washed out. Still, I persist in using it because it's lovely.

As expected from a matte formula, the color payoff is excellent. 2. I was hesitant about buying it at first because it's a brown lip with a slight orange tint, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how it doesn't look off on me (I have a cool-leaning autumn complexion). 3. It's versatile - a light application gives a natural brown-orange+beige+pink look, perfect for everyday wear. Apply it boldly for a full lip, and it's great for when you want to make a statement with your makeup. 4. For a matte type, it's not overly drying. It glides on smoothly and doesn't leave my lips parched. (*This might be a personal experience) (Dryness level: Trendy foreign matte liquid concealers >>> MAC Taupe)
Cons1. If it smudges outside your lip line, it really doesn't look pretty. Constant reapplication can make the tone look a bit off, so you might need to remove and reapply, which can be a hassle. 2. The staying power isn't particularly impressive. I find myself reapplying often, which means it gets used up quickly. (This might be because I usually apply it as a full lip) 3. It tends to emphasize dead skin cells, but this can be mitigated with proper lip prep.
TipAs mentioned earlier, the look varies significantly between a light, patted application and a full lip application, allowing for diverse makeup styles.
