So, I’ve been on the hunt for my perfect red. There are a couple shades from Revlon that I love, including Cherries in the Snow (more of a pink red), as well as Cherry Blossom. Those reds are gorgeous, but I wanted something with a little more punch; a little va-va-voom so to speak. Well, I believe Ruby Woo is that red lipstick for me.

Ruby Woo is probably one of MAC’s most famous lipsticks. It is the ultimate pin-up girl red, as it is a retro matte texture, meaning it is truly matte with no sheen.

Application: Despite the dry texture, I didn’t have a problem applying this; however, I do prefer it with a layer of MAC Prep + Prime since it is winter and my lips tend to be on the dry side.

Feel: For me, the texture of this makes it very comfortable to wear. I don’t even notice I am wearing lipstick; it is that lightweight for me.

Color: This is SO vivid! It is a blue-based red, great for making your teeth appear whiter.

Staying Power: This will last for hours if you aren’t eating anything; if you are eating, a touch up is likely needed, depending on what you eat. I eat A LOT of salads and usually and oil based dressing, so of course it’s not going to stay through that! 🙂

Price: $15 at MAC online and counters.

I wear Ruby Woo with MAC’s Cherry lip liner for a stronger look and to avoid any feathering that might occur.

Not gonna lie, I totally feel glamorous when I wear Ruby Woo and definitely have my staple red now!
