MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour

I used to love the old lipstick, the ones that didn't have retro written on them. This version is so bad, really disappointed, it's like they changed the formula

I am a fan of the Ruby Woo's and Ruby Phew's and Ruby True's so this was a no brainer. The colour is fantastic! It lives up to the long lasting description. Only 4 stars because even with the Lip Primer it feels dry. It layers well with a gloss though.

I really like how long this stays on. Other than eating or drinking often, it can last hours!

M.A.C lipsticks are loveeeeeee!!! This chill addict is a perfect party shade !

The product is marketed as "long-wearing, non-smudging colour" with "no caking, no flaking, no smudging and no budging". It is meant to be "waterproof" that is "long-wearing, up to 8 hours". I bought this lipstick with the impression that it would perform as advertised. It did not. It never fully dries even with the thinnest layers possible so always smudges and transfers even with the lightest touch. I wore this lip for 3 hours and ate once, causing the lipstick to smudge off of both the outer edges of my lips and the inner sections as well. The colour is matte, bold and easy to apply but that is the only praise I can give it. I tried to apply it to my lips without moisturiser, with moisturiser, in thin layers, in two layers, and without touching my lips together at all while it was "drying" for up to 15 minutes and it *always* smudged immediately.
