Yes, this lipstick is known for its long-wearing formula. The matte finish helps the color adhere to the lips for extended periods.

Use a makeup remover specifically designed for long-wear or matte lipsticks. Oil-based makeup removers work well. Gently wipe until all color is removed.

While the formula is generally safe, those with sensitive lips should test on a small area first. Consider moisturizing the lips beforehand to prevent dryness.

The MAC Retro Matte Lipstick has a completely matte finish.

The volume of the lipstick is 3 ml.

Exfoliate and moisturize your lips before application. Use a lip primer to create a smooth base. Apply in thin, even layers.

Apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick. Allow the balm to absorb, then blot before applying the lipstick. Alternatively, use a lip primer with moisturizing properties.

Use a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade to create a barrier. Apply the liner before the lipstick, and fill in the entire lip area with the liner for increased wear.
