Pros
The Gyeokkeul point lip is such a beautiful color, especially for those with Gyeokkeul skin tones. It seems like it would suit them very well.
Cons
My skin feels too dry because it's a matte formula. The longevity isn't great either.
Tip
Apply the base lip and then apply it only to the inner part with the point.

Pros
1. This is a classic red lipstick from MAC that suits most skin tones well, with a vibrant red color that has a bluish undertone. 2. The color lasts for a long time and has minimal transfer. 3. It provides intense, opaque coverage with just one application. 4. As a classic red color, it can complete a look on its own.
Cons
1. The retro matte texture can make the application thick and drying on the lips. 2. If the lip condition is not good, flakiness may become prominent, so lip balm or lip primer is essential if the lip condition is poor. 3. It must be applied neatly in one go, and it is difficult to reapply.
Tip
When you want a classic yet sophisticated red lip, this is a good choice, but the dry texture can be burdensome, so you need to pay attention to lip care.

Pros
The vivid red color provides a striking pigmentation that accentuates the lips when used for makeup application. While it can be worn by both warm and cool-toned individuals, it seems to complement cool-toned complexions slightly better. Although the matte texture is not particularly soft, the long-lasting quality inherent to matte formulas makes it a great option for summer wear.
Cons
As a matte lipstick, it emphasizes flaky lips that lack proper moisturization, so it is important to maintain good lip hydration and use it properly.

Pros
The pink hue is swirling and deepening! I recommend this to those with a true winter cool-toned complexion.
Cons
Personally, I found it quite matte, and for someone who is not a perfect winter cool-toned person, it has a slightly glowy feel? I'm also a winter cool-toned person, but I'm not a perfect winter cool-toned one, so ㅠㅠ
Tip
A slightly coral-tinted pink tint blended together creates a more natural-looking and prettier color on the lips.

Pros
The Gyekul Vivid is a perfect match. The base is kind of sexy.
Cons
There's no problem if you apply lip balm generously, even if the matte finish is a bit lacking.
Tip
Kinda sexy + easy to adjust the MacRuby color, and it's cool, but I want to try a red lip. Let's give it a shot.

Pros
The color payoff is great, and the sweet vanilla scent is pleasant to apply without any aversion.
Cons
The matte texture may not suit those with dry lips, as it does not provide sufficient moisture.

Pros
✨ MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo Review ✔ Recommended for: •Those looking for a signature red lip 🔥 •Those who prefer a vibrant, matte finish ✨ •Those needing a statement makeup look for special occasions 💋 •Those seeking a universally flattering color, regardless of undertone 🌟 ☑️ Application Ruby Woo has a matte formula, so it may feel slightly stiff upon initial application. However, once on the lips, the color applies evenly and provides full coverage with just one swipe, which was very satisfying. ☑️ Color This is a classic, pure red shade that is neutral and flattering on all skin tones. It gives a radiant, urban feel, making it ideal for statement makeup looks. It's better suited for special occasions rather than everyday wear. ☑️ Longevity True to its matte nature, the lipstick has impressive staying power. The color remained largely intact even after meals, minimizing the need for touch-ups. ☑️ Other Notes •Despite being matte, the finish has a velvety feel that prevents the lips from becoming overly dry. •The bold color payoff and long-lasting wear make this an excellent choice for evening events or important occasions. 💖 Overall The MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo is a classic, quintessential red lip product. Its intense red hue and outstanding durability make it a perfect item for creating a striking, elegant makeup look for special events! If you're seeking a powerful yet sophisticated look, I highly recommend this.
Cons
The matte texture may feel a bit thick when used for the first time. If you prefer a smoother application, I recommend applying a small amount of lip balm or lip primer before use. Additionally, the vibrant red color requires careful touch-ups to maintain a clean, flawless look during wear.
Tip
Try this tip! Use a lip brush to apply lipstick precisely all the way to the edges! You can create a more perfect lip line this way. Also, adding a touch of clear gloss can give you a different, unique look.

Pros
When I was really into red, I used a limited edition that I received as a gift from a friend. Among the reds, the Ruby Woo is a must-have. It has great color payoff and the color is vibrant, so I highly recommend it to anyone who loves true reds!
Cons
Those with prominent flaky skin and dry lips will likely appear matte. Exfoliating is essential before application.

Pros
The color payoff is truly vibrant and beautiful. The chocolate scent is also incredibly lovely.
Cons
It's too matte, so it feels a bit burdensome if I don't apply something like a lip balm.
Tip
I find writing alone to be dull, and in winter my lips become so dry they feel like they might crack. I apply and reapply lip balm.🫦
