    This lipstick is so pretty. A darker red that stands out. It is a matte so there is no shine and that is what i was looking for. It does dry up your lips so take care of them and moisturize! other...

    MAC describes this as a matte true blue red. Indeed this is a colour saturated true blue based red that is suitable for all skin tones. More vibrant in colour, like fresh blood than MAC's Viva...

    This red is it! Great for a classic red lip or retro look. Even on my NC30 it looks great and lasts a long time. Definetatly an all time fave.

    A true show-stopping red. I stopped looking for/at reds after I bought this. I love matte lips and this was it. A little dry and waxy-smelling (I think all MAC lipsticks have that smell) but...

    This is my HG red. It is a extremely long-wearing, classic red. It gives the perfect vintage red lips that I was looking for and being a matte lipstick it lasts so well and hardly needs touch ups....
