This is the perfect true red. Very vintage. It's a matte finish, so Stefani! And it is the only red that does not turn pink on me! It is highly pigmented and classy. Looks great with gloss over it...

Viva Glam I is my favorite red lipstick so far. It's on the darker side, and, as the M.A.C site says, slightly brown. That's a very good thing; Viva Glam doesn't look pink on me. I've found the...

A beautiful darker red, this is a great winter lipstick. However, it is matte, so you may wish to wear a little balm or gloss with it. But yes, it's a beautiful, classic color. I think I may...

MAC's matte lipsticks are truly some of the best, especially for women over 40. I can put this lipstick on in the morning and wear it all day at work with very few touch-ups. This lipstick never...

I agree with the majority-- this is a great red l/s (with a hint of brown). I normally have to brown down red shades to get a true red on my HHH skin (rather than fuschia or bright screaming red)....

I'd say this is the only true red lipstick I feel comfortable wearing during the day. I am always looking for the perfect red and this is by far the best choice for a NC30.
