Okay...this is a perfect red, for all skin types...Not too much blue, not too much orange, just perfect ! Its more of a brick red with brown undertones. So you can make it bold or keep it subtle...

My favorite red lippie of all time. Matte is so sophisticated and this lasts forever. Love MAC in general, but the original Viva Glam is the best. Sorry Gaga! ;)

I've worn this lippy for at least 15 years. For a while when I was strawberry blonde-ish, it was too muted for me and Russian Red was better. But now that I'm back to auburn it's just a beautiful...

Tried this on at the counter today. Perfect for the kind of red that I was looking for my wedding. I have russian red and that's too bright for a wedding, although I wear that out and love it. ...

I love this lipstick. First of all, all the proceeds (100%!) go to HIV/AIDS. It's a great color that I could see working on anyone. If you're looking for a real dramatic lip, you could go with a...
