Spec: Japan ranking listing: Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstick, shade 912 Teiken/3.5g (JAN 0773602746439)/Taiwan product page: 3.5ml; shade Taken (corresponds to Japan shade 912 Teiken/Taken)
Same-item basis: momo/PChome/DA-KOKU Drugstore showed no results for the "Powder Kiss Hazy Matte" series (momo's "MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick" has a completely different shade-number system; verification found this is a renamed product line from MAC's separate "Matte Lipstick," not Powder Kiss, and it was excluded). A Google search instead confirmed MAC Taiwan's official site's same-series, same-named product (Sheer Moisture Matte Lipstick) page lists a Taken shade option, likewise 3.5ml, with a price of NT$990 confirmed directly on the official product page. JAN 0773602746439 corresponds to shade 912 Taken, matching the Japan listing. Root re-verification: M.A.C Taiwan official site product page re-check: Sheer Moisture Matte Lipstick 3.5g, shade Taken (Japan's 912 Taken), NT$990.
