    Rosy red is a great description. Looks just a tad lighter/pinker than my pigmented lips with NW20 complexion. Whirl works well too, it’s a little browner. Half red seems creamier than Whirl which...

    I've been wearing this for years! Goes with everything! Especially love with my favorite Mac Modesty lipstick. Gives it a little boost of berry and lasts so long together!! Gorgeous shade!!

    I'm a big fan of MAC lipliners because they're creamy enough to apply smoothly, yet dry enough to stay put. Half Red is no exception. I find myself reaching for this as often as Soar or Whirl...

    Great color! It's a rosey read. You can pair this with almost any lipgloss out there. Works great with my skintone.

    Amazing! I really love this shade, however it's not really 'red' or even 'half-red' in my opinion. On my lips it comes of as soft plum with a rosy or soft red undertone to it. Love it with Faux...

    OMG, this is PERFECT! This lip liner by itself is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect brown-rose for my NW45 skintone. Lasts and lasts and lasts. MAC lip pencils are so underrated. They better not...

    This is an outstanding "kind of red" red lip liner. I hate that I slept on it for all of these years. It is so versatile, can be used with so many different colors. Definitely a winner!

    This was a gift from my skin twin here on MUA. She really knows her makeups. This MAC pencil "Half Red" surprised me! A lot of red liners are either "too" something on me. Not enough pigment, too...

    I've always been a huge fan of MAC's pencil lip liners and this is no exception. I usually go for a more "neutral" lip look but I decided I wanted to try some plums and reds so I settled on Amorous...

    I bought this because it looked like a neutral colour for my highly pigmented lips. It also produces a lovely dark pinky brown colour if you put a few coats. I find that despite this being a lip...

    Half-Red is the bomb. No joke. I've had this in my bag for a while and can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. It's one of those workhorses that I don't even have to think about. If my face needs...

    Half-Red is quite an enigma to me. This is one of those lip pencils that you must try yourself regardless of what reviews describe it to be. I say this because the color changes depending on your...

    This pencil is MAC's best-kept secret. It deserves to be as popular as Spice. The color is an extremely muted, almost clay-like burgundy, so muted that you can wear it with a variety of...

    I love this lip liner. It's not red in my opinion...more like muted burgandy. It's very creamy and goes with any medium pink lipstick... very sexy and would recommand to have in your stash.
