    This is a gorgeous, classic red. Long-wearing because of it's matte finish, it's also very dry. As with other matte formulas, I take care to let a good balm sit on my lips before applying lipstick....

    The hype about MAC Russian Red being the BEST red lipstick on earth is entirely TRUE. The color is outstanding. It's a true blue/red that is very fresh and vibrant. The consistency is a Matte so it...

    This is the first lipstick that I’ve ever purchased from MAC. It’s also my only true red lipstick. I find that pairing this up with a sheer gloss makes for a look to die for. I never thought I’d be...

    Have used this for the past winter and although it's pretty nice, it's not the best colour for me. It's a little too dark-blue-ish for me. Besides that it's a very good long-staying lipstick that...

    I'm kind of a sucker for anything with a Russian-related name. I'm seriously so tempted to run out and buy the entire OPI Russian line, and then NARS' Russian Doll and Transsiberian lipsticks....

    The best red EVER!!!! Blue toned one. Makes teeth look super white. Perfect pin up red. Stays on all day/night. Does not slide into little liner lines around your lips. It is a little bit dry, but...

    I love this lipstick! It is so classy. Very pretty. Plus, it stays on so long without having to reapply or touch up (great for when I am working). I would recommend this for anyone going for that...

    This is a lovely, lovely red on me. Intense, rich, a near-true red that is really class and glamour in a tube. It's also my first MAC purchase (yah, I've been avoiding it)! I tried both Russian Red...

    This is the perfect red lipstick for my warm NC35-40 skintone! The color is rich and it lasts long on me. The only con I can think of is that the matte formulas are a bit drying (cuz, well it's a...

    Easier to work with than Ruby Woo, less fushcia than Ruby Woo, more of a true retro red color. I feel RR would flatters skintones than Ruby Woo. HG <3

    So this is my holey grail red lipstick. I am an NW30/35. If you are any lighter than me this is going to be way to harsh for your skintone, go for something like Ladybug lipstick. I love this...
