    This lipstick is beautiful! Stands out so nice. I used to always debate on this or ruby woo and ended up getting both. Russian red is classier to me. Ruby woo is playful.

    LOVE this color! Reds that look good on my fair/cool skin are hard to find but this one is lovely. To me, there's nothing like a sexy red lip. The formula is perfect. Not too dry but not too wet,...

    Russian Red is the universal red lip colour, red/blue. I cover the entire lip area with Mac Liner in Brick first for more staying power. Wearing red lipstick is high-maintenance, fastidious...

    Like every other blue based "red", this turned fuschia on me.

    This could be the best red I could ever have. It's not so expensive like the others but still it does its best. It stays long for about 4-6 hours, without eating much. It's very pigmented that I...

    I have literally been using this lipstick on an almost daily basis for about 16 years. It is by far the best red lipstick I have found. I've tried others that are more creamy or glossy, but they...

    This lipstick is miraculous! It never ceases to amaze me that this looks good on most skin colors - warm, cool, or in between. When I had strawberry blonde hair, I was looking for a flattering red...

    I can't think of a skin tone this red would not work on. I love it! The downside is the formula. It's good but not great. a nice finish, but since it's slightly moisturizing, it tends to slip...

    The story behind the colour is more interesting than the colour itself. In 1990, Madonna commissioned a red lipstick for her Truth or Dare tour, and throughout the shows, the film, any picture you...

    Lovely true red color, that really suits my fair yellow-undertone complexion. I also love non-drying effect of this lipstick. The main cause I don't use lipsticks so much is that some (even HE) can...

    This was my first red lipstick and remains my favorite. It is drying, but if I wear chapstick to bed and exfoliate my lips before applying it isn't an issue. I find this to be a really good...

    I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK and I wasn't even a lipstick user until I bought this. It suits my skin tone perfectly and whitens my teeth instantly. It also lasts for ages when eating or drinking. When...

    This is such a great lipstick. It's not as drying as the ever popular Ruby Woo, and the blue-toned red is flattering on my pale skin. It lasts all day without reapplication (just use a lipliner...

    This was a nice, universal blue-red that I wore to a gala one night. I found it bled a bit more than other red lipsticks I tried, and I got a couple of blackheads around my lipline from wearing it...

    I think MAC should change the color of this lipstick to "UNIVERSAL RED" because this is the perfect Red for any skin tone. I've put this lipstick on virtually all my friends (A range of skin tones...

    The perfect red. Described on the MAC website as an "intense blueish-red" and that is exactly what it is. For reference, I am an NW10 (winter) to NW25 in the summer. Its a fairly creamy formula in...
