MAC Simply Smoked Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark taupe brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque coverage, though I would recommend a second layer or a lip liner for full opacity. The consistency was thinner than it should have been, as it did not apply as evenly as the best shades in the range have (but it was not the worst and looked decent after it dried down). On me, the lipstick wore well for six and a half hours, while the formula was somewhat drying.
The Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour formula is supposed to be pigmented, last eight hours, and be "non-feathering." They are typically pigmented and long-wearing, but the quality of the formula is all over the place--some shades wear down evenly, aren't too drying, and apply well, while other shades are patchy, streaky, or prone to flaking (and also terribly drying!).
