Personal Statement

MAC Personal Statement Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a "shocking pink." It's a neon, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage with a really smooth, flat matte dry down. It dried fairly quickly compared to other medium-to-dark shades in the range. There were a few streaks that didn't seem to disappear once dry. It wore for eight hours but was quite drying after four and a half hours of wear.
