CARE reviews: MAC lipstick in Russian Red

Anyone who know me personally knows how much I love red lipsticks! I was searching for the perfect red lipstick that will stay after a few drinks and a few cigs.

I was aiming for Ruby Woo, but then Lyn from MAC (Glorietta) said Russian Red will suit me better. And since she aced the perfect foundation color, I trusted her and got the Russian Red .. and it never leaved my purse ever since! :)

Russian Red

Lip Swatch

Summary:
What I like:
1. Its staying power is AMAZING! I was on my fifth or sixth stick and still, my lipstick still look as if I just put it on. :)
2. Super pigmented
3. Flattering color (I'm NC35 for reference.)

What I dont like:
1. The price. (BUT it's worth it!)
2. Since it's matte formula, it's really drying.

Tips:
1. Exfoliate and put balm before putting this on! :D

Will I buy it again? YES! I'm buying a back up! :D
Though, if you can suggest any red lipstick, please do! (What I look for a red lipstick? MATTE and bright. :p)

  3. i personally use mac red & i really feel so sexy when i do. It's already a statement by itself.

    Though mac red is a satin formula, but i think its better because its not as drying as matte lipsticks.
