MAC x Selena Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours Reviews & Swatches

Siempre Selena

MAC Siempre Selena Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, though it was just shy of truly full coverage. The texture was fluid without being too watery nor too heavy, so it applied evenly, spread well, and didn’t settle into my lip lines or emphasize lip texture. It wore well for over six hours but was somewhat drying over time.

Dame un Beso

MAC Dame un Beso Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark berry pink with cool undertones and a flat, matte finish. The texture was fluid with some wateriness to it; the texture was unforgiving as it was applied, and I really had to smooth and even out the color as it dried down as it was quite streaky initially. I was surprised I was able to even it out as it dried down as much as I did!

The pigmentation was nearly opaque, and the color was intact for over six hours. The dry down emphasized lip imperfections and lip lines noticeably, and it wasn’t that comfortable to wear as it was quite clingy and was somewhat drying.

Big Bertha

MAC Bertha Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a light brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a flat matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly but dried down in such a way that it emphasized my lip lines and would catch on flakes if lips were not perfectly exfoliated. The texture was fairly smooth and fluid but was a bit thicker than some of the other shades in the formula. It lasted well for five and a half hours but was somewhat drying over time.
