I am pretty much just agreeing with the below reviews... it looks like a nice, bright red, but on me (pale/freckles/dark hair) it looked bad. This isn't really the lipstick's fault, I just looker...

Please see product photo #2 for color comparison, on skin, to MAC Russian Red. . OVERALL: This is a most unusual product in its very simplicity. It's just red lipstick. It's not orange, or...

This is basically identical to Russian Red (MAC) but way cheaper. I have to say that it doesn't have the same quality as the MAC lipstick, but it is 'very' do-able and if you're stuck looking for...

Nice clear, true red. This is a great buy and a great color. This is supposedly a dupe for Russian Red, though I don't have RR to compare it to.

Dammit, another lippie that went fuchsia on me. I don't know what it is about my chemistry, but some lipsticks just DO this. Smooth and creamy and sweet smelling though. I guess it's not the...

This is one of the best buys out there. Its a true red, not cool or warm, but right in the middle. I aquired a NARS lippie in Red Lizard, and it was perfect. You know a lipstick is right for you...

This is hands down my favorite classic red. No blue tones either just true bright red. The formula is wonderful too, not drying and not too thick so you can blot it for a more "stained" look. ...

it gets a 3 because the staying power was not impressive and for such a bold color you really need it to hang on all day. however, the tone was really really great and looked truly retro glam. ...

Unfortunately, Retro Red did not compliment my skin color. After putting it on, it turned out to be semi-clownish looking on me. However, in pictures it looked great! Anyway, I decided to tone...

Wow, Retro Red really is everything y'all promised. It's cheap, goes on smooth, glues itself to my lips, is a truly hot retro red (like in the old movies) and goes great with my warm PPP redhead...
