I think I have owned this tube for about 12 years since itвЂ™s in the old straight lipstick tubes MAC used to have!Д¬ockney (lustre, permanent) is a lustre finish so itвЂ™s very shiny and a little sheer. This is an amazing color and probably the brightest red I own. Ruby Woo (matte, permanent) is a very bright blue-based red with a matte finish. The other lip liner I used is Revlon Redwood, which is a really old, but creamy bright red liner. Strangely enough I only have one MAC red lip liner, which is Burgundy which I used with the darker reds here. One thing to note, I did use a lip liner for these photos since red really requires perfection. Oh and the other great thing about red lipstick is while it is higher maintenance than most other colors, it makes your teeth look much whiter!

There is definitely a red out there for everyone, you just have to find out if your perfect one is warmer, cooler, brighter or deeper for your skin tone. I hear alllll the time people saying вЂњI wish I could wear red lipstickвЂќ and you CAN. There are a few matte formulas in here which I really adore, but they are a lot more drying than I prefer generally. The red lipsticks I gravitate towards and that look best on me are cooler, blue-toned ones.

Too bad this was before I discovered MAC in 1991 though because the red lipsticks I wore were dry, chalky and mostly came in a fat, cheap pencil form. It was my signature look LONG before Gwen Stefani was popular :). When I was in my late teens/early 20вЂ™s I pretty much only wore red lipstick.

Summer is a great time to bust out a super bright or even deep red lipstick, so today I have a plethora of my favorite red lipsticks which are all by MAC, except one.
