- Q
Will it blur out the lip lines and look good smuged out with a lip liner?
- Asked by Brina
- Official Answer By MACGreat question! MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick delivers bold, longwear color with a true matte finish—perfect for a defined look, but it can also be paired with a lip pencil for a smudged or blurred effect. For best results, let the lipstick fully set before applying your lip pencil—this helps it grip the lips without skipping or sliding. To smooth the look of lip lines and create a flawless edge, try applying MAC Prep + Prime Lip around the perimeter before color. It preps, blurs, and keeps everything looking polished.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by sierra
- Official Answer By MACHi and so glad to share some fantastic lining options! Choose MAC Lip Pencil in Spice to wear with Lady-Be-Good MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick. This shade will add definition yet still blend in. And if you'd like to create a more neutral look, Beige-Turner Lip Pencil also works like a dream with this lip colour.

Stays on through drinking, eating and dancing!
I've been on the hunt for a liquid lipstick that will hold up all day, especially something that will last through eating, drinking, and performances (I'm a dancer). This lipstick is my new favorite! It lasted at least 9 hours with one application: through a dress rehearsal, a performance, lunch, di...

I was so in love with this product when it first came out that I literally made a youtube account to make a rave review video of this because it went on so smooth and easily...BUT, after not even wearing it for a half of a day I had to find a store to use the sample and touch it up. I have given it ...

The colors don't match
I chose the Topped With Brandy color and I hoped it's would be lighter (as on the website), but in reality it turned out to be a very dark color that looks like black-gray on the lips. Too dark

Comments about High Drama
Reviewing this lipstick after years of use. My favorite lipstick. Best wand, best colors, good formula and I love how I can see the color straight in the tube. Please add more colors. Only con: the tubes break in your purse or pocket so easy. Big mess.
Feels So Grand is the perfect Christmas Red
I wore this to match my bright red dresses for the holiday parties and I got so many compliments! Its bright - and it was a headturner. Highly recommend.
Wanted to Love
I have worn MAC for many many years and have always loved their products. Wanted to love this one but, sadly, no. The color (ruby phew!) is beautiful. Unfortunately, for me, it was not forgiving, bleed, was very drying, needed to be reapplied often and was hard to remove. Put a gloss over to try and combat the dryness. Gloss made it bleed worse and embarrassingly transfer. I love MAC and will continue to buy products in their line, but this one is going back.
