    I've tried at least 10 brands & shades of red lipstick, & this is by far the best I've ever used. It's a very intense matte red with blue undertones; basically a classic shade of red that turns...

    One of my favourite shades of lipstick from MAC that I always have in my makeup bag, but don't wear as often as I use to. It's the perfect intense matte red shade with blue undertones that...

    Red is my HG lip color, so of course I have this. Out of my 100+ red lippie collection, this is one of my favs. It bright and matte, and dry, just like I like.

    I really like this blue-based red colour, although I don't often wear red lipstick, so when I do, I am quite startled by the look of this. I have NW20 skin, and this is a very full-on colour, but...

    It has a matte finish and it's a very strong shade. It looks a little dark red on me. It stays and does not come off. :)

    NC35 here. <p> There is a reason why this color has been around for at least 15+ years. It's the perfect true bright red, neither too blue or too orange for me. Madonna made it famous by...

    This is my *red* lipstick. I love the color - very dark rich red with blue undertones - I cannot do yellow or orange undertones. I use it with MAC Cherry lip pencil and it is perfect. Russian Red...

    It's a gorgeous color that would probably suit most people but for me, it looked terrible. I don't like the MAC matte finish anyway, and found that it was too blue-based.

    My HG red lipstick! I love this, so creamy the perfect red shade for my NW15/20. It has great staying power, even when it fades it leaves a wonderful stain on your lips, but is easily removed with...
