    Such an iconic product, but I realized red, matte lips are not for me. I have other MAC lipsticks and do like their formulas. And Russia Red is quite a pretty blue-toned hue. Alas, I’m glad I only...

    I have not tried it in the new formula/reformulation, this is from the OG formula. I love Russian Red and I've had it for quite a while. I love combining different lip liners and it works with...

    This is THE classic Russian Red - the sexiest red you can land on. Classic MAC formula - I think their lipsticks are some of their best products, this is no different. Depending on how you do your...

    My one and only red lipstick now, other red lipsticks either makes me look 10 years older due to the color or super drying. This color just hits the good spot for me. I have 2 ways of application,...

    Russian Red is a beautiful color. You can easily wear it for a night out, or casually for that beautiful pop of color. I think it also looks pretty on lost skin tones.

    The color is great on a fair skin woman as it's called "Russian Red"! But it's not Madonna red but a bit darker than that. Still looking pretty strong and eye-catching. I'm enjoying using this but...

    MAC describes this as an "intense bluish-red". I agree with the other reviews that state that it pulls orange on them. A better option for my olive skin tone is Viva Glam 1. I will not purchase.

    It’s funny how reviewers describe this lipstick as both blue undertones and orange. I guess it depends on whose wearing it. I’m a redhead with pink undertones and this red is perfect for me. I...

    The search for the perfect red lipstick is over! MAC Russian Red is basically the only red lipstick I wear when in the mood. It's described as a bluish red. To me, it comes off as the ideal,...

    I've tried millions of red lipsticks and this one is my favourite. The colour is classic but sophisticated at the same time, it suits everyone. The formula is great. It's matte but definitely not...

    Well, I have to say that I love the color but I don't like how it performs. It doesn't last very long when you eat. But maybe that isn't really the purpose of it, or maybe I am just doing something...

    I love the colour very much. The colour (described as bluish red) complements my skin tone and makes my teeth appear whiter - i am east asian with rather fair skin with neutral undertone. The...

    Great gorgeous red color. If you love Mac lipsticks this is a staple for most skin tones. Heard about it on Spotlighthair.com and so glad it was recommended!

    Oh, Russian Red, where do we begin? Russian Red is a cult classic among MAC's endless array of lipsticks and it's not hard to imagine why. I would describe the color of Russian Red as being a...

    My first MAC lipstick. I noticed that I don't have a good red lipstick at home. Once picked up a red lipstick by Maybelline but I didn't like it that much. Went to MAC, swatched this on the back of...
