Did you know that the Retro Matte lipsticks were first launched in 1999? All of the original shades are gone, except for Ruby Woo and Bronx. Verushka had already existed years before from a 60s inspired collection, but it got reformulated as a Retro Matte and then eventually discontinued.

I did my best to match the discontinued ones to shades in a similar, longwear bullet lipstick like Retro Mattes. The promotional photo for this collection was an image of a pin-up girl. You can see the swatches of the original lipsticks as well as the promo photo on a postcard in Dear Deere’s TikTok video on Retro Mattes. https://www.tiktok.com/@deardeere/video/7479946049818332462?lang=en
