I recently bought my MAC lippies and I am going to make a short review of the two of them. One is the MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour "Back in Vogue" and Mac Lip Pencil in "Boldly Bare".
MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour - Back in Vogue
This shade can look good in asian people, it matches a yellow undertoned skin. It is very pigmented and lasts on my lips even after eating or drinking. However, you might want to moisturize your lips prior to applying this lippie as it may tend to get dry when worn and will then turn out to to a wrinkled lip. After moisturizing using a lip balm or a petroleum jelly, let it sit for a few minutes and just wipe off the excess. You may do this first before doing the rest of your make up to save time. The shade is a bit more obvious that neutral, it is closer to a peach color. The finish is velvety as well.
Below is a swatch that I made for your reference. I did not do any edits on the photos as I want you to see the real color. Setting was inside my car while the sun was well lit.

Mac Lip Pencil in "Boldly Bare"
Now , this is another lip color that I have in my list. I love neutral shades, I hate red because it does not look good on me that is why I go for less obvious shades closer to neutral, light pink, peach and the like. Boldly Bare has a color the same as an old rose. It looks darker than my lips but still looks natural and I love wearing it at night time. In fact, one of the MAC employee told me that it was used by Ms. Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach, that is why I bought this one. Hahaha...
Boldly Bare can look good to either cool or warm skin tones. It is up to the person on how she wears it. It is a lip pencil that you may use before applying a lipstick or you can use it alone. In my case, I wear it alone.
