    This is my favorite lipstick for when I just simply want to feel glamorous. I don't even have to put on any other makeup, except maybe a little mascara, to feel gorgeous in Russian Red. It's...

    Yes, yes, yes! This is my HG lipstick. I am a huge retro/pin-up girl fan, so I wanted a lipstick that would help me get into the pin-up girl spirit. This is totally it. Russian Red is a neutral red...

    I never wear lipstick, as I generally don't like the feel of makeup on my face so I try to keep it as minimalist as possible. However, I love the vintage glamor of a matte red lipstick for evening,...

    I got this as a xmas present so it's not like I picked this out myself. I think that it's a great product though! It's like the perfect red lipstick. It's so strong and pigmented that I have to...

    I adore MAC's Russian Red, a lovely blue/red & even though it is classed as Matte it has never dried my lips out & a big plus is it is long wearing .

    Gorgeous bold and blue-based red that just livelies up my paper white skin! What I love most about this red lippie is that it doesn't make my teeth look yellow, thanks to its blue...

    This is a very bold blue-red red lipstick--not for the timid! While I think it looks beautiful on, I am not sure I'd have the guts to wear it out in public. I guess I'm just not used to wearing...

    I love this color! It's a mid tone color red, not too dark not too light (on me). It goes on smooth and looks great with minimal makeup and some moisturizer. It just looks so beautiful alone....

    I was in search of a dramatic red lipstick and I certainly found it when I came across this product from my beloved MAC. It is a blue-ish red and matt, which is appropriate for my hair colour...

    My HG red lippie ever. It doesn't have a bluish undertone like what other muaers said but on me, NC 20, but it really shows a true red. Whenever I feel bold, or need to lift my spirit up, I reach...

    Now this is an special lipstick for me, because this is a holy bright blue-red. This is such a weird color for me since I am not used to bright lipcolors. It takes some time to get used to this,...

    Ok I'd been lemming this purely based on the reviews here, finally got it and... I'm disappointed. It goes on well and is a great colour, just not on me. I'm NC25 and it makes me look tired. ...

    Am I the only one who hates this color? Makes me look like I've aged about 10 years. I prefer darker reds, like Fire Down Below from NARS or MAC's Dubonnet. This is just awful.
