MAC Uniformly Fabulous & Young Attitude Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours

Uniformly Fabulous

MAC Uniformly Fabulous Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a blackened purple with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff, though it was not opaque, in a single layer. The texture was smooth, thinner but not watery, and spread easily across the lips for even coverage. It dried down and did not appear “cracked” when I smiled. This shade wore well for eight hours but was 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!).

Young Attitude

MAC Young Attitude Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a deep, bluish teal with cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. The formula was thin and a little watery, so the color did not apply as evenly as a lot of the shades from the range have. It had a tendency to appear a little streaky with some areas appearing darker than others. It had semi-opaque coverage, and a second layer would be doable without causing texture/wear issues later on. This shade lasted for seven hours but faded more noticeably from the center of the mouth, while the formula was drying. It did leave a bluish stain behind.
