I love this one! It's definitely a staple for me. It's an orangey brown, a red that is not in your face, and looks super flattering on warm complexions. Combine it with mac chicory lip liner and a...

I think I've had a tube of MAC Retro ever since I came across it at least 15 years ago. I must be on my 4th or 5th tube by now. This is an everyday color, a pinkish/reddish/brownish color with a...

I wore this shade almost everyday for months. On me it's the perfect mix of peach, brown, and pink, and very muted and wearable on my medium/tan skintone. But it's just too drying for me, and I...

This might be a less widely known shade because I never hear about it. I just B2Med for it and I love it so much. It's a brownish red that's not too orange. It reminds me of a slightly deeper Brick...

Not quite sure if I got the good lipstick here. I bought the Mac lipstick with a satin finish in the colour Retro. It didn't look impressive in the tube but applied on my lips it is a perfect...

This is such a beautiful red, but not 'IN YOUR FACE' red.. It is for the days you want to wear a red lip, without being too bold. It is also ideal for those who find red lipstick too...

Retro is a really unique color and a beautiful, versatile neutral for medium to tan skintones. I'm around an NC35-40 with pigmented reddish pink lips, and on me, Retro is a reddish, peachy...

I absolutely love this lipstick. I am a big lover of reds and think they suit me the most but wanted to go a little different from my usual. I do not regret this, it goes on lovely and has a bit of...

@ella who are you to say a color is too dark for a nude? nudes arent meant to look like concealer like mac myth. Deep terracotta shades look wonderful. Especially contrasted with light skin...

there's just no point to this lipstick---if you're going to go red, go red! this is a muted browny red which is too dark to wear on a daily basis, to work or as a nude. I don't find uses for it...

I'm cool skinned and rather pale and this really works for me as well. If I pair it with my Mac redd liner it brings out a little more red. My husband called it fetching.

This would definitely be one of my favorite MAC lipsticks that I own which I wear/can wear everyday because although it's a red its a peachy-brown red so it's quite subtle unlike Ruby Woo or...

This is a very unique deep rust/terracotta lipstick color with good opaque coverage. I would not refer to it as a "red" like many reviewers below, since there are really no obvious red tones in the...

It's all been said before me. Gorgeous, wearable, peachy, pinky, chocolate brown. I add a touch of clear gloss for shine. Great everyday color and I'm always looking for those!

Bought Retro years ago on a whim, but never wore it. Found it while I was cleaning out my linen closet, tried it on, and fell in love! The tube I had was "expired," so I got a new one as a B2M. ...

I may stray in order to experiment, but I always seem to come back to this lovely muted brick red. It's a great shade that suits my Autumn/ NC 25 skin, yet I could see it working on a variety on...

This is my favourite red lipstick from Mac. It's more of a brown red. A little dry as it is matte. Colour is special in my opinion.
