MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick Review

I am here with another MAC review.  I know Jomol is going to be mad at me for this, but anything for IMBB.  Rati and this blog have made me fall in love with this brand so much. I have never worn a red lipstick in my life thinking it would never suit me, but recently, my love for lipsticks is increasing and I feel that even I can carry them off easily.  All credit goes to IMBB.  I really owe a lot to this blog for giving me so much information and I now know how to choose my makeup and beauty products well.

So, I just wanted to try how I would look wearing a red lipstick and headed to my most favourite brand MAC.  The MUAs there recognize me so well these days and that makes me so happy.  I told one of the MUAs that I always wanted a bright red lipstick, but never tried as I am afraid that I would look scary.  She was very sweet and allowed me to try all the reds in the collection and we finally got three in the list, Russian Red, Ruby Woo and Diva.  She suggested I take Ruby Woo because her complexion was similar to mine and Russian Red was more of an orangish red on me, Diva looked good, it was not red but more of a maroon shade on my lips.

After trying Ruby Woo thrice, I finally made up my mind and bought it.  So, here is my first red lipstick and this is my fourth MAC lipstick.  I am very very happy and a million thanks to Rati for this.

Finish:

This is of matte finish.  I must say I really love the texture.  Some people say that matte finish lipsticks of MAC are very drying, but I love this finish the most.  I have three satin finish lipsticks, but this is the one that I really like.  It is very soft on the lips and not at all drying.

Pigmentation:

The pigmentation is just awesome, just one swipe is enough.  When I tried this for the first time, the MUA laughed at the way I was applying.  I told her that I applied it very lightly as I was afraid it wouldn’t suit me.  This fear was there in my mind, I am NC42 in MAC and used to think that bright colours would never suit me.

Staying Power:

Fantastic, I wore this and it stayed the whole day in spite of eating and drinking.  According to me, the matte finish lipsticks from MAC have the best staying power and I am highly impressed.

Price:

Rs. 990, I think MAC has increased their prices now, earlier, it was for Rs. 900.

My Experience with MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick:

This is my first red lipstick and will always be special to me.  It brightens up my face and I think this would be the best matte red lipstick for anybody.  I am not fair skinned but even I am able to carry this off so well.  One thing I have learnt from IMBB is that we dusky girls should never shy away from bright colours without trying, assuming that it would never suit us.

  7. It’s very pretty. It seems cool toned, is it? I’ve had my eye on dubonnet for a while, did you try that out? And do tell us which your other MAC lippies are…i think twig is one, no?

  11. preetha i love the shade :inlove: :inlove: …but you know what, being afraid of red is more psychological than coz of the complexion :-/ ..i have a maybelline one in red, lying somewhere in my cupboard and i have never worn it outdoors…i m so scared of bright colors that i only wear tinted lip balms normally! :(( :((

    1. ur rite Tinkerbell..wear it n am sure ul rock red..I wore this to a mall n ppl were just starin at me..I didnt mind and just walked boldly..

  12. Hi girls, I use to read IMBB everyday. But, this is the first time I am commenting. I always read all the comments by lovely readers here. This site has helped quite a lot to improve myself a lot. I love to read the lip products reviews and have read almost everything. Good luck!
