After reviewing 3 lipsticks available in Britain, I was planning to do 3 American lipsticks but after ordering Maybelline's
Nevermind, instead I will review 2 more MAC lipsticks. In fact, these two are the most hyped red lipsticks of all and they are of course Russian Red and Ruby Woo (left to right in below photograph).
~
Starting with Russian Red, the least pink of the 2, it is a matte colour with amazing lasting power. The colour is blue-toned, yet not pink on my skin at all. When I have tried other apparent true-reds, they have either turned orange or pink on me, but Russian Red is neither. It is a bright true-red, though this may not be the case on everyone.
As I have said, it is matte so can be drying, therefore I recommend some lipbalm underneath if you want it to remain matte, or some clear lipgloss over the top if you prefer glossy looks. There is also a lipglass available from MAC with the same name so this may work over the top too, but I haven't tried it so couldn't vouch for it's performance.
~
Ruby Woo is even drier than Russian Red, it isn't easy to apply without lipbalm underneath as the texture is quite chalky and can drag on your lips if they are dry. It then sets after a few minutes, meaning minimal fading as it usually takes a make up remover to get rid of it.
The colour wasn't red enough for me, though. It turned slightly fuschia on my lips, maybe because of the texture, which I quite liked. Maybe there's too much yellow in my skin for it to be a true red. I didn't mind the colour, it was quite nice, but the pink undertone put me off because I just prefer red.
~
In conclusion, my favourite has to be Russian Red which is nothing but red on me. It is also less hard work as Ruby Woo requires a careful application and will not apply consistently without lipbalm due to the dryness.
I recommend you try the 2 lipsticks as both get lots of brilliant reviews and are retro, matte blue-toned shades. They would probably suit cool toned ladies best, though I am thinking if you have significant yellow undertones like myself, Russian Red

- Swatches, My experience & comparison with MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick I have seen many people comparing ruby woo with this. In terms of texture, the main difference between Ruby Woo and Russian Red is that Ruby Woo is a retro-matte finish while Russian Red is a normal, matte finish.
- Russian Red has a matte finish, but as you can see, it still looks pretty creamy and shiny. It’s definitely the least drying matte MAC lipstick that I own. Funny how the consistency of red lipsticks can be so different, because I heard that MAC Ruby Woo was very drying for your lips and this one definitely isn’t!

Beautiful scarlet matte lipstick
I was looking for a pretty red matte lipstick and I was pleased when I got my hands on the Russian red lipstick from Mac. It is a beautiful colour and very long lasting. A bit transferable but still lasts almost all day. Not too dry and I would definitely recommend.

IT looks amazing with my skin tone. the only thing is it has to be reapplied after a couple of hours and it dries up quick but the color is amazing

Very easy flattering red
Nice flattering red colour. I have been apprehensive about trying/ wearing red lipstick but this one was ended up being so flattering, I ended up buying it. I took away a star because within one month of purchase, the lipstick cap somehow cracked right in the middle within my small handbag.

No need to reapply!
What I love most about MAC lipsticks is that it stays on without it even being labelled as an all day wear lipstick. Even when it does come off, it leaves a beautiful stain.

The BEST red lipstick out there!
I have been using this red lipstick for as long as I can remember! The product feels just right on your lips and doesn’t dry them out! It lasts all night with minimal need for reapplication! I always recommend this lipstick for someone looking for a perfect red!
Review Son Mac Russian Red Vs Ruby Woo

A beautiful red
I recived this as a gift, and was plesantly surpriced. I am not a huge fan of mac cosmetics, but I have been happy with this lipstick.
There is a slightly chocolatly fragrence, but nothing over powering. The lipstick dries matte, which is a huge plus for me! The only thing I found is that my lips feel alot drier after applying this, in comparison to my other matte lipsticks. I found that applying some lip bomb before applying the lipstick helps to counter the dryness.
