Pros: Opaque, vivid color, shiny-wet look, doesn't smear and leave lines with normal wear or if I rub my lips together (huuuuuuge plus with such a bright, opaque color), doesn't feather, very...

Great lipgloss from MAC. The shade is a true red. However, for my neutral toned ( more to the cool side, I.e. pink undertoned) skin, I found Russian Red looked a bit too warm...the shade itself is...

MAC Russian Red in the original matte is one of my all time favorites. It's cult following virtually ensures it won't be discontinued. Praise be. But it can be a tad drying so when I discovered...

So, you want to wear red but feel like most reds look scary? This is red hot color that you can make as sheer or thick as you want. I tried it with a very light outline of Mac's Brick liner and it...

Great pigmented, creamy, lip gloss. Very opaque, but can be sheered down when applied lightly. Can be worn on its own or over lipstick. Like all MAC lipglasses, it's quite thick. Does not leave a...

I just bought this product today from Macy's and I'm in love with this lip gloss. I've been searching for the perfect red that wasn't too overpowering but yet still bold and this did it for me. It...

This is a great, true red lipgloss. It is very pigmented, opaque in a couple of swipes. I often wear this without any lipstick at all! It's very glossy and shiny, and I love that even after a few...

I love this lipglass. The texture IS really sticky, but I don't find it particularly discomforting, Just the usual texture of all MAC lip glosses. This lipglass has great colour pay off, and its...

This is my absolute HG red lip color. It is a little bit sticky, but I would much prefer sticky to being too dry, so it really doesn't bother me too much. I love the pin-up/sex kitten vibe I get...

This is really red! I like the colour - I think it doesnt' look like it's lipstick counterpart at all. But my gripe is that it's TOO sticky. My hair gets caught in it when it's windy, lol. It's...

I really like this & I kind of didn't expect to. For some reason it's more flattering against my C5/NC42 coloring than the lipstick. Plus it's more opaque & less sticky than most lipglasses, which...
