PAC had launched these beautiful matte lip-glosses few months back,
but because it’s me and I’m lazy I got on this bandwagon bit late. I went to
get the previous once, when the SA explained that they have come up with new
packaging called V/2.0. How cool is that.. Anyways to know how these babies
turned out please keep reading.

INGREDIENTS:
MY
EXPERIENCE:
TEXTURE/FORMULA
PAC Retro
Matte lipgloss: It has beautiful quick drying formula. The consistency is just
right, its neither too liquidly nor too creamy just perfect. It glides
beautifully on the lips and applies evenly in one go. Doe shaped applicator
helps in reaching the edges perfectly giving crisp lines. Only issue is its bit
drying and hence may settle in fine lines, which can be easily overcome by
using good lip-balm or lip primer beneath.
PAC Matte Lipstick:
they have beautiful creamy texture to it and glide on smoothly
without tugging the lips. The formula is not completely matte but sort of creamy
semi matte. It doesn’t dry out the lips and feels quite comfortable on lips.
STAYING
POWER:
PAC Retro
Matte Lipgloss: It has amazing staying time. Once they set they do not budge
whatsoever. You will require heavy duty oil based makeup remover to get rid of
these babies. They are absolutely smudge and transfer proof and they do not
rumble or crease.
PAC Matte Lipstick:
These have good staying power. They can survive some munching and
light snacking. It starts fading after 5 hrs. but fades evenly and leaves
slight tint behind. It dose transfer a bit but do not bleed or settle in fine
lines.
SHADES:
PAC Retro
Matte Lipgloss: I got 2 shades from this range.
No. 11: It is mauve
pink and looks absolutely stunning. It is quite great for everyday use.
No 33: It is
bright Coral pink which looks great for evening wear. Somehow this gives more velvety
texture to lips as compared to No.11
Both the shade will look good for all the Indian skin tones, but
in my personal humble opinion no. 11 will suit fair to medium skin better than
darker toned beauties.
PAC Matte Lipstick:
Again I picked up 2 shades from this range
No.21: Nude pink
shades which I absolutely adore. It’s my MLBB shade. It looks pinker in the pic
but on lips it’s the most perfect nude.
No. 24: It
is very wearable maroon shade with nude undertone. On lips it’s very Kylie
Jenner shade and looks perfect for summers.
Shade 21 will suit fairer shades but 24 is universal shade that
will look good on all skin tones.
COVERAGE:
PAC Retro
Matte Lipgloss: Single swipe is sufficient to give opaque finish, still if you want
one can layer it on it doesn’t get cakey. 2 swipes might be required for
pigmented lips.
PAC Matte Lipstick:
It takes 1-2 swipes for opaque overage. Lip gives very smooth and
even finish. Even if you layer it on it doesn’t look patchy or cakey.
OVERALL
THOUGHTS: I think these are beautiful products and PAC has done amazing job with them. Pls do try their lip products
they are absolutely amazing and they have huge collection of shades which means
you will definitely find the most find a perfect color that looking for
RATING: 4.5/5 (PAC Retro
Matte Lipgloss) 4/5 (PAC Lipstick)
RECOMMENDATION: in my
humble opinion both the products are a must buy and absolutely required in
every makeup kitty.
