    Be warned, this color is not for the faint hearted. This shade is very bright and if you want an eye-catching red lipstick that 'pops' out, this is one to try. It is excellent for nights out and...

    A beautiful true red lipstick. Works wonders on my dark olive skin (warm toned) - Indian origin. Very very very sexy siren. Make sure to wear a nude or matching lipliner so that you don't have...

    Wow! I can't believe I've finally found a red lipstick that doesn't make me look like I'm recovering from some major illness. Every other red lipstick I've tried has gone weirdly pinky on my lips,...

    Ehhhh... I wish I could like this, I've seen some girls really pull it off, but on me, it looks trashy. I know it's a matte but I don't find it very matte, especially when compared to a true matte...

    Russian Red is a gorgeous color. However, if you have yellow undertones it is too blue. The texture plus the color of this make it very dramatic and pin-up girlish as one reviewer put it. My...

    This is my perfect glamor-girl, pin-up, wowie-kazowie red. If I want to come on strong, I wear it with Cherry or Beet lip liner. To tone it down a bit, I line and fill in my lips with Chestnut and...

    It's a very bold, true red and it's not for the faint of heart! I love wearing it alone when I'm doing a retro fifties look, or I tone it down and gloss it up for a modern look. Either way,...

    I really like MACs selection of red lipsticks. I especially like the matt, satin & ac formulations. Russian Red does not disappoint as a nice bold matt red. On me (C/NC35) it really doesn't appear...

    I found Russian Red too blue-based for me (C3). I was looking for a real, "neutral" red, a little bit richer than that. I should maybe have tried Mac Red, although I was looking for a matte.

    I love reds. I love REDS. And Russian Red is a RED. It is a beautiful deep dark red in the tube and on my lips it turns into a wonderful 40s inspired pin up. I feel like a starlet in old Hollywood....

    Absolutely fabulous red, it’s one of the truest reds I’ve ever seen. If you’re planning on putting gloss over the top, make sure to use a lip liner as this will bleed without it.
