I have been searching for YEARS for a red lipstick that did not turn pink or orange on me, and this is IT. It is a true red and the matte finish only makes it more stunning. I am an NC30 very pale...

My first vg l/s was vg iv. A really pretty color, but similar to chic or captive. So I decided to try the original, I'm surprised I held out on this color... soooo pretty with burgundy. It just...

I just got this yesterday. I actually went to the MAC counter looking for a matte nude color, and after choosing velvet teddy, I told the sales girl that I might also be interested in a darker...

I love, love love this lipstick. The color is the most fantastic, fiery red, which does not pull orange or fushcia on my lips. I love this color also because it seems to brighten up just about any...

Behold... the power of red lipstick. This is my perfect shade of red. I am a nc25, and this is the only red that I can wear without making me look, and more importantly feel...clownish. It's a...

I have big full lips (not complaining at all :) ) that make red lipstick tricky. However, this is my go to red these days. It's definitely an evening lipstick. Not something that can be...

I have never, ever been a red lips person, but MAC Viva Glam changed me! It's the *perfect* deep red lip shade that makes my teeth look blindingly white and makes my lips look plump and gorgeous. ...

The colour looked really great when I tested it on my hand, but when I first applied it to my lips, I wasn't all that enthused. It looked like a deep very very brown red (goth-looking almost),...

Well, a few months after doing a very enthusiastic review of MAC Ruby Woo, I've realized the color just doesn't work for me (fair warm-toned skin, red hair, beginning wrinkles). It's VERY...

I have the VG palette (actually I have 2 because I carry one and leave one at home.) So I must like this lipstick. At first, I just wore the more pale VG lipsticks, but once in a while I crave red...

This is my first red lipstick and I'm quite pleased with it. I'm NC50 for reference. The Matte formula does draw attention to fine lines on your lips, and if your lips are even slightly dry or...

I've been looking for a red lipstick to wear this Christmas. MAC has a lot of pretty red shades of lipsticks, but most of them look fuschia on me instead of red. I bought Viva Glam I since I knew I...

Flawless deep blue-brown red, matte but not dry, stunningly sophisticated. I'm NC 20 give or take a tan, and it suits me beautifully, but has such neutral undertones that I've met few it doesn't...

I will probably be in the minority here, but this color isn't my cup of tea. I love brown based reds, but this one has an unflattering orange tone that looks horrid on my C40/NC Skintone (GGG)....
