Ruby woo is the ultimate classic red lip. The retro matte formula however is incredibly dry and kind of chalky, very glad they made this shade in the powder kiss formula, which is my favorite mac lips...Read more

LOVE the color, but unless MAC has changed the formula, this lipstick is extremely drying and uncomfortable to wear. I must prime my lips with a clear balm before applying it.

I actually like a dry consistency for a red. That m and it won’t move. I love this color. Brightens your face and teeth. Beautiful color. The dry matte consistency keeps it from moving !!

The color of this lipstick is gorgeous! The absolute perfect poison apple red. It has a bit of a cool tone to it so it's perfect for blondes but it also looks good on warmer complexions. A tiny bit ...Read more

Super disappointed with this lipstick - such a shame because it is a beautiful true red! Bought it on impulse after reading great reviews. It's hard to get on, it bleeds and comes off on everything - ...Read more

Famous for being dry. It's so dry I can't drag it on my lips. The color is supposed to be a universal red and it's a true red (I think it tends to blue red) and matte. Honestly, this is for the young ...Read more

I was a bit apprehensive when I bought Ruby Woo, because it feels so dry. As you all know, the color is sensational, you will not find a dupe. It is very difficult to apply (hence 4 and not 5 stars). ...Read more

The colour is perfection but the consistency is the worst I have ever encountered. I tried everything to make this work but it balls up and flakes off leaving a patchy mess.
