This is a definite, STRONG red lipstick. The finish is "Satin", but it may as well be matte because it's very potent and lasting. The red is like a bright cranberry red, but there's a hint of pink...

NW15 My first red (and my first MAC) lipstick. It looks amazing against my pale skin. It's a great bluish-red, with a great creamy smooth consistency. I'll definitely be buying more MAC...

I wear really dramatic red lipstick all the time, so naturally, i bought 'mac red' lipstick. Unfortunatley it fades really fast, and to a very pink colour. It has no staying power colour wise, or...

Yes, it does photograph orange. It's the oddest thing. However, this gorgeous blue-red is the closest thing to a true red I can wear (my olive tones dictate blue or brown reds), and it's vivid,...

Trusting MAC as the authority of everything makeup, I believed that "MAC Red" would be the perfect, bluish, fire engine red. Unfortunately, when I put it on my lips (I have somewhat pale skin,...

Wow, what happened? I really thought this lipstick would be awesome, but it isn't near as good as some of the drugstore lipsticks I have bought. The color was fine, but the texture was so slippery....

I am a NW 43 and this red just looks too pink on me. It is, however, an intense if you can wear a red with this undertone. In general, I like MAC lipsticks better than most brands.

One of my first red lipsticks and possibly the one that created the monster! A gorgeous true blue-based red, looks beautiful and flattering on me.
