MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color

Hello lovelies,

it's time for another liquid lipstick, and I don't think I'm done with them even thou we are in the trend of shiny, metallic and glossy. I can always go either way, from velvet, matte, dewy, super glossy to metallic and glitters. Depends on the occasion they are all good.

Here are some details from the official website:

A lip colour that provides a splash of colour in a liquid-suede finish that lingers.

For those who prefer timeless glamour to all-out flash, matte reigns supreme. M∙A∙C introduces a twist on this classic texture with robustly saturated shades of Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour. Whichever shade you choose, all promise one thing: a splash of colour in a liquid-suede finish that is impossible to forget.

     Apply to lips using the edge of the applicator for a smooth, sharp shape. Use the tip of the applicator to perfect your application.

Sounds very interesting, right?! Mine happens to be Ess-presso, a deepened chocolate brown. They happen to have more than 25 shades and they all look so interestingly good. Any makeup addict would love to collect as the colors are solid.

They may look thick, rich and super creamy, but on the lips they feel so pleasantly smooth. Easy to dispense, swipe and blend, but careful, the setting time is rather fast (means good too) so when there's error, clean it fast before they set.

After set, it stays so beautifully flexible, comfortable and not drying. It stays as long as I don't eat something oily, since waterproof never means oil-proof.

And the shade? Oh clearly seen on my photos, I super duper loving it.

Verdict? Great texture, finish, solid vivid high pigment color, stays on and easy to clean with oil based cleanser. The applicator is spot on, the wand works like magic and my lips look so deliciously good, full coverage, it's the best since they are comfortable too.
