    Russian Red is a bit too overwhelming for me. It´s a Red that screams when applied. So I see few occasions when you can wear it without looking over the top. It´s a bit too vamp. However, whoever...

    This on its own, is a really nice classic red. However on me, NC30, is too cool, due to the blue tone underneath :( It is still wearable, but I find Runaway Red works better to compliment my...

    Ahh I love red. I don't wear it often, but I love red lipstick! This shade is THE shade when you think of red lips. I think it can suit almost any skin tone. My only complaint is that since it is...

    I think this product is amazing though I find it hard to apply on sometimes if my lips are dry (usually they are). I bought this lipstick when I read the reviews and I was looking for a lipstick...

    I love this lipstick, it's a perfect bright red that lasted all night when I wore it. It didn't come off when I ate and drank which impressed me. The only thing I would say is that it's pretty dry...

    I'm somewhat of a MAC NW 5-12.5, depending on the season - alternatively, Bobbi Brown Alabaster (most of the time). What can I say? This lipsticks rules pretty much. A true red lip colour that...

    This is the perfect red. It works on cool and warm skin tones, looks good when I'm super pale or a little bit tan. The matte finish makes it not too over the top, just classic and beautiful. I...

    I always get compliments whenever I wear this lipstick, lovely and matte. Lasts longer if you blot of course. Definitely a sexy and sophisticated colour to go for.

    Asian and I fluctuate between an NC 20/25/30 (damn you Southern Cali!) This is a perfect, classic red. It is slightly cool toned but it is very neutral as well so I feel it would be flattering...

    I find this red to be a lovely colour, deep red without being too deep, but not overy cheery and garishly bright. Has fantastic staying power, and looks good on my NW20 skin tone with very dark...

    This is a classic, flattering red. I will wear this at my best friend's wedding, probably with my True Red L'oreal lipliner. To me, this is a red lipstick that looks good on everyone. Well worth...
