A beautiful neutral-toned red that I'm in love with. I use this first to line my outer lip and then fill in - which it does effortlessly, as it's very pigmented. Gives a velvet matte finish and is...

Meh, it's just okay. No bad taste or fragrance, so big perk there. Nice hydraulic style cap closure to ensure no smashing. Matte but not drying, and color saturation is top-notch. Easy to apply,...

I tried this due to the rave reviews but it didn’t work for my skin tone. With my olive skin tone, I find that I need a touch of brown. I will not repurchase.

I got this as a sample, and have replaced it many times. It is my go-to red. As an albino, I've had trouble with reds being too blue or too orange-y (warm). This one is perfect, and lasts. Just...

This is an OK deep red with earthy undertones that I was very excited to try because it looks gorgeous on evert photo I've seen. That said I'm simply too spoilt by Lisa Eldridge lipsticks to...

My favorite matte red. It looks perfect with my skintone and it's so nice when it's applied. I always get compliments whenever I use it to go out.

It's my go to date night or black dress accompaniment. The shade instantly elevates your look. I tend to use it without a lip liner and just apply lip balm 20 minutes before applying the lipstick...

I got this as a free sample with purchase from Sephora, and because it said matte on the label, I never bothered with it. I`m just not a huge fan of matte lipsticks and my expectations were that it...

What is this lipstick? Different is the word that comes to mind. It is a dark red in my book. It flirts slightly with a burgundy on me. I am NC43-NC45 in MAC, with half medium brown light pink...

HG! It is way up there with Mac's Ruby Woo in how universally flattering it is. I am not particularly impressed with the formula but it makes up for it as a wonderful stain! I keep one in my purse...
