A bold red lipstick is such a classic. The right shade of red will instantly transform your face. It is confidence, glamour, sophistication all rolled up in a little tube. Every woman should have at least one power red lipstick that suits her complexion and transforms her face.
I’m always on the hunt for that perfect red lipstick. And trying to find the right shade of red is a little bit of a struggle. Every time I see a great shade of red on a friend or in a magazine I get this impulse to purchase it. However, most times, when I try it on me, it looks all wrong. It shows up as either a plum / maroon shade or it turns out too orange. And for some reason, magazines always seem to recommend a Plum / Maroon shade of 'red' for darker complexions which drives me crazy. I am always on the look out for a true red, a red that shows up as a true red against my brown skin.
In comes the classic MAC cosmetic shade of red 'Ruby Woo'. Ruby Woo is from the MAC Retro Matte collection. This shade was really a game changer for me. I used to be really reluctant to wear reds before this but after this I can't stop! This is a true intense red lipstick. It comes in a matte formulation but is not drying. It is also long wearing but will need a touch up after eating or drinking.
Another great part of this shade is that it comes with a matching lip liner also in 'Ruby Woo' which is great because you don't have to mess around trying to find a matching lip liner.
