Hi everyone! Today I’m swatching all 22 shades of the MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipsticks for you. These liquid lipsticks are well pigmented, dry down quickly and are completely transfer-proof. These do feel very drying though so a lip primer is recommended to make the formula more forgiving on the lips.
Hope you find the swatches helpful!

Hi Ankita
I follow ur videos and posts.I came accross one problem.My contour is turning orange in day light exposure.I used Mac palette for contouring.Can u do one video about why this happens and how to avoid it
If there’s one shade I could pick it’d be topped with brandy!!
I am loving the swatches Ankita…I own some of these shades….I love the way it feels on lips when mixed with pigments and two or more shades together….Great review!! My favorites are Chocotease, Esspresso, High drama, Oh Lady and Topped with brandy
The shades cafe au chic, so me and simply smoked look really nice. If possible please share some lip swatches too.
Thanks for the swatches. I just ordered burnt spice. 😊
Loved the brights mostly. Couple of the nude shades look too dull and grey on me. If possible could you pls add lip swatches? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the swatch. I love the way you explain. I have some of these shades. My favourites are chocotease, esspresso, flamingo, feels so grand, dance with me, oh lady. Waiting to come metallic liquid retro mattes in India. Next time lip swatches please… 😊
I was expecting lip swatches. If possible please post lip swatches soon. Hand swatches do not help much actually.
Love the swatches…so much to try..favourite one is topped with brandy thank you for swatches…
Thank you Ankita for swatches. Could you please recommend some shades which will suit dark skin.
I still haven’t had time to play around with these but High Drama is turning out to be favourite. Also Topped With Brandy. I can see myself wearing those a lot in the coming months.

Nice swatches! 🙂 So-Me is gorgeous.
How do you manage to use up all our makeup products before they expire.
Is it ok to continue using them after expiry?
Really love your videos and the wide range of products you use.
