PAC Retro Matte Gloss comes in different shades of nudes, pinks, and reds.Today I’m going to review a pretty nude liquid gloss which is actually a matte shade.Yes, this shade is PAC Retro Matte Gloss 07.
Price:
Rs 550 for 6.5 ml
How to apply:
Moisturize your lips using a lip balm.
Using the applicator of the Gloss, gently glide it over your lips.
First, it will be in a liquid form, but after a minute, it will dry out into a matte finish.
My experience with PAC Retro Matte Gloss 07
To be honest, I was little scared to buy a nude lipstick online because it seems different on screen and comes out a different shade on your lips. Many nude shades wash out Indian skin tone.
For this shade, I was little confused whether it will look good on me or will it wash off my skin tone because it is very difficult to find your perfect nude shade.
Luckily, this shade suits my skin tone. It is pinky plum nude shade. But it will look different nude color on different skin tone.
Talking about the lipstick, it stays for a day long.
At the time of application, it is in a liquid form, but it dries out matte in minutes. After drying, my lips started feeling dry. Since I have dry lips, I always apply lip balm underneath every lipstick. Here also I applied lip balm under the gloss, but then it feels dry. So to avoid that, I applied lip balm over my lipstick to get that moisture back on my lips.
If you have a super dry lip, then you should exfoliate your lips before application.
Also, this lipstick is like all other liquid lipsticks i.e. they are very hard to remove. You need to use an oil based remover to remove it. I always use coconut oil to remove my makeup.
This lipstick gets easily removed using coconut oil.
Pros:
- Sleek packaging
- Perfect nude shade for fair to medium Indian skin tone
- Matte finish
- Stays for long
- Not get transferred
- Not patchy
Cons:
- Drying formula
- Will wash out dark skin tone people
- People with super dry lips must exfoliate before application.
- Very hard to remove
- Feels dry minutes after application
Would I recommend and repurchase?
I would recommend fairer skin tone people to try out this shade as it’s a pretty nude shade for everyday wear.
I would not really repurchase this, because of its drying nature.

The packing and the shade looks really pretty but the content matters
The shade looks great on you..But there long standing lipstick formulas are sometimes super drying on the lips. Great review.
I don’t know why this lip gloss range reminds me of MAC liquid lipstick range..
This shade is perhaps the most universal shade that takes different tones on different people. It is certainly the best neutral for many.
It is looking really nice on you. You have the option to use it with various makeup looks :rose: :love
