    Intense, cool red color with a nice matte finish. Goes well over MAC's "Cherry" lipliner. Reminds me of Orthodox Easter eggs! The pigment factor in this combo is freaking amazing - the...

    A friend of mine raved on about this lipstick but I was very hesitate to try it because of my skin tone & the fact that I acne around my chin/mouth. I went into MAC & asked the girl who was...

    The blue tones really pop out - which is nice compared to the orangey tones found in a lot of reds. Wearing it makes me feel like Sophia Loren in the 1950s.

    I deliberated over buying this lipstick for a long time and finally did for a big night out. I have a really olive-y complexion and light brown hair and the shade wasn't exactly the right red for...

    Russian red is a cool-toned red matte lipstick. It's not overly dry but packs some serious pigment - if you stray with this it will stain. Looks great with pale skin but it's simply too cool to...

    Mmmmm I have always wanted a red (true red) lipstick, but just couldn't find the perfect red. All drugstore brands were either too orange-y or too purple-ly. After some time on Makeupalley, I...

    This and Ruby Woo are my two favorite MAC reds. Well, there was Merry Mistress, but it's long discontinued. I'm pale, but I actually veer towards a neutral skin tone, so I can wear warmer and...

    Definitely one of the most flattering reds I've ever tried. NOT a blue based red. I am a MAC c3 StudioFix fdtn. It's dark and matte, very perfect for a sexay Hollywood pin up look.

    This is not for the faint of heart! This matte blue-red is the purest of reds and it definitely makes a statement. It's easy to stain your lips for a softer look for apply straight on (not...
