The MAC website describes the color of Relentlessly Red as bright pinkish coral. According to me this color is a complex blend of bright pink and red with just a hint of neon – the color is beautiful. If you are looking for something bright that isn’t the conventional crimson red or a magenta or fuchsia, you will enjoy this color. The color somehow reminds me of the drink Pink Sangria. It lights up the face instantly.

The formula isn’t exactly the kind that applies easily in one swipe. It drags on the lips and it takes some effort to apply it properly. It is a matte lipstick, so it is a bit drying. Your lips need to be in top condition – any dry flakes will show through. Exfoliate and apply lip balm before applying this lipstick. Be careful while applying as it can stain the teeth. To avoid staining your teeth with lipstick, after applying it, put your finger in your mouth, close your lips around it and pull out your finger such that it takes off the color from the edge of your lips.

It is long wearing. Lasts at least six hours and stands up to eating and drinking – only the inner most part of the lips will require a touch up.
