    My first red! It makes my teeth whiter and my eyes this electric blue! Simply stunning and a classic! I will buy this over and over and over again!

    I love the color payoff, it lasts forever. Im NW20 and its very flattering on me. I just have a hard time applying it evenly. I use a lipliner then put it on but maybe the formula is a little...

    Hate this red....it looks horrifically clownish on my pale, neutral skin. This looks cheap & tacky in a Christina Aguilera-ish way. The formula is awful and dries out my lips. If you're pale and...

    After spending a few dollars here and there on drugstore lipsticks, looking for that perfect red (and those dollars add up), I finally caved and bought Russian Red. I've only grown the balls to...

    This is my go-to red lipstick. Classic, slightly vintage, bold. I love it and I always get compliments on it. I think if I ever get married, this would be the lipstick I would wear. It is great for...

    I prefer matching lips and cheeks, so I look for lipsticks and stains that can be used on both features. It’s a pleasure to apply this product to the lips and cheeks due to the creamy texture. It’s...

    This is the perfect neutral red. (Not too orange and not too "blood-red"). Even though it has a matte texture, the formula isn't drying and instead, is quite creamy. There is still a slight sheen...

    Best red lipstick out there, hands-down. Looks good on ALL skin tones. It's very matte, but still has a little more "slip" to it than Ruby Woo. Russian Red is also a blue-toned red, so it makes...

    I am quite surprised by some reviews stating that it is hard to eat/drink with this lipstick, as I find it is really the one lipstick I can put on and completely forget about (I do religiously blot...

    This would be the definition of red in the dictionary. Resplendent, all-time-classic, true red. It can look surprisingly modern or devilishly retro, depending on the outfit you pair it with. Yes,...

    Rich crimson that is a few tones deeper than a true scarlet, so it assertively says "Look at me" instead of shouting it with a megaphone. It's definitely not blue-based, although that's how the...

    This is a beautiful lipstick, which seems almost universally agreed upon! I bought it after reading that it was Dita von Teese's preference, and as I love her red lip, I wanted to try it. I'm...

    This is a striking, dramatic matte lipstick. It can be a little harsh for pale skin if not applied carefully which is why I never apply it directly to the lips. I use a lip brush or apply it over a...

    Blue-based reds are not supposed to look good on my yellow Asian skin but this one does. I love the matte texture. You can spread the color with your fingertip and make your lips look naturally...
