    Great, true red with slight blue undertones. I do wear a lip balm underneath, as this one (being a matte) tends to be a bit drying. Overall, a wonderful, classy red! Will repurchase.

    I own a few reds, but never own one that truly satisfies me in terms of either wear or colour. When I wanted to get this, it was a toss between Revlon Really Red and MAC Russian Red as these two...

    I am a total lipstick whore, and in my opinion, MAC definitely makes the best (I'm not a high-end freak, I just really like MAC lipsticks). And I am also fond of reds, so when I saw this, my eyes...

    I'm actually wearing this, in my PJs at home, where no one can see me just because I like the feeling. And I like eying myself up in the bathroom mirror, thinking even though the rest of me is...

    This is one of my favorite red lipsticks ever, and as the proud owner of 40 shades of red, that says something. It is a bold red that's not too moist (i hate that slimy lip look) but not too dry...

    This is the perfect standard red color. Its a blue-red so its great on essentially every skin tone and I'd absolutely recommend it and repurchase it.

    Russian Red is so beautiful. On me it's on the orange side oppose to MAC's Ruby Woo which is a red red red on me. I tend to pair Russian Red with MAC's brick or burgundy lipliner. For a more...

    This is generally a very beautiful, classic red. It goes on smooth and thick, and has a very matte finish. The color stays on your lips the entire day! Not even exaggerating! I wore it to work for...

    Wow! Truly a classic pin up red lipstick that looks great with my NW15 skintone. It glides on smoothly and looks flawless, but as others have said it is easily transferred if you touch your lips,...

    Russian Red is a gorgeous blue-toned red that looks great on everyone. This is definitely my go-to red whenever I do red lips. The matte formula stays on all day long. I'm an NC35 by the way.

    I really love this lipstick, it's a really great blue-red, great for a classic red lip. It is a very bright and bold lipstick so it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Some people complain...

    This is like the Japanese Geisha/Maiko red on me. With prep+prime lip, it's not too drying. After applying primer, I DO NOT wait for it to dry. I usually use a clear lip liner (to line my...
