    If you are not into the Ruby Woo hype, this lipstick is for you. It's my HG red lipstick and I'm completely obsessed over it. It was my second Mac lipstick and the one that started the obsession...

    My FAVORITE vamp all stops out red, not replicated by my now favorite brand of lipstick - a little known handmade brand called Elixr. I mostly wear natural lipstick now, no technical wowie ones...

    This lipstick was my first and was almost last MAC lipstick. Russian Red is a punch-in-the-face kind of matte red lipstick. It's bold, it's pigmented, and it is eye-catching. Things that are,...

    Wow. Beautiful lipstick! I had never really ventured the world of red lipsticks up until Russian Red. Most reds are too orange tone or I don't know, just not something I would wear. Russian Red has...

    My very first mac lipstick. Gorgeous color, looks great on me. I use it with mac lip pencil "Brick" and I look so glam whenever I put it on my lips. Definitely recommend, so classic!

    WoW!!!!! What a beautiful color. Great pigment. It is a matte color that stays all day. I did not need to retouch my lips through a long day of work. It feels buttery on your lips. I thought I...

    The only red lipstick I own and one of my very first Mac lipsticks. I'm warm toned and this color is gorgeous on me! I would say this red is perfect for night outs while Ruby woo maybe better for...

    My HG red lipstick. I have light skin with yellow/warm undertones, and this shade complements my skin tone so well. I love how dark and blue-toned it is. The formula is matte, but it's not a drying...

    Absolutely my go-to red! Less drying than Ruby Woo but still matte and though they are similar in color, Russian Red is slightly deeper and a little more blue toned. All in all I absolutely adore...

    If you're looking for that classic blue-toned bold red - this is your guy. Russian Red is absolutely beautiful on nearly every skin out there and it photographs brilliantly! The finish is matte,...

    Russian Red is the only red lipstick in my MAC arsenal. How should I describe it? Classic. Elegant. My power in a tube. I love its formulation and shade. True retro red which is just right in...

    This is my first MAC lipstick and unfortunately I am extremely disappointed. I have a lot of very warm undertones to my skin (NW45) and this just seems to wash out on me. On me this is like an...

    I love a good red lipstick, but Russian Red isn't the one for me. The colour is lovely, a nice blue-based red, slightly deep but not vampy. It is matte and applies like a dream, opaque in one coat...

    I LOVE this red. It's that classic red lipstick that looks good on virtually everyone. My only (mild) complaint is that because it's a matte, it's very drying on my lips - but the MAC lipstick...
