    Cannot go wrong with this! Perfect bright red, I absolutely love it. Looks amazing with my fair complexion. Stays on all day, barely needs to be reapplied. Been a fan of this one for years!...

    This is, without a doubt, my favorite MAC lipstick. It's classic and bold without being obnoxious. If you're new to red lips, I suggest starting here - if this doesn't look amazing on you, it will...

    A perfect red lip. I have very pale, olive-toned skin, and this is a flattering shade. Perhaps most importantly, it lasts a super-long time, and doesn't dry out your lips like "official"...
