The WOO of MAC Ruby Woo

Now, Isn't that title weird or what?

I've NEVER been on the look out for that SCREAMING RED lipstick. In fact, I unintentionally frown at makeup artists who would offer me a RED lipstick. Yeah! RED is the universally flattering shade of lipstick that EVERY LADIES should own. Crazy as I was, I never had that courage to wear it. Most especially because, Reds though easy to work with, would entail a very detailed application so as not to look messy. But, since I look up to Kim Kardashian for lipsticks and other makeup products,  I nervously went to a MAC Counter and asked for this. MAC Ruby Woo.

From Kim Kardashian, to Gwen Stefani and Taylor Swift, MAC Ruby Woo had complimented their skin tone and wow a lot of bellas. These ladies have fashioned a strong and independent personality that is what Ruby Woo is all about.

MAC Ruby Woo is a retro matte finish red lipstick from MAC's permanent line. Beauty Bloggers and Beauty enthusiasts would already know that it is a perfect in-house rival or dupe of MAC Russian Red. Well, intially, YES! Its almost the same. ALMOST!!! Ruby Woo is that Red with a subtle orange tint that softens the red making it more vibrant and complimentary to most if not all, skin tones. The other one, Russian Red, is a fresh, diva-like, bold, darker shade of red. Its quite one of those mature red, something I'd be wearing at night.

This might sound SILLY. I've used MAC Ruby Woo a couple of times already and still, whenever I see someone wearing it, I end up staring at her lips. I looks absolutely gorgeous. Here's a swatch of Ruby Woo on my hand, just to give you an idea.

I never thought I could fancy something this bold for my lips without going down a load of effort to keep it precisely on your lips. Consistency wise, Ruby woo, being the retro matte is a bit rough to apply, it leaves my lips with a well emphasized cracks due to dryness. Its very drying, so i strongly suggest you exfoliate your lips often and apply lipbalm prior to application. The product tend to cling tightly on those cracked part of your lips, hence the emphasis. At the same time, after sometime, you'll feel some flakiness on your lips -- NOT GOOD!! I have to go through the hassle of checking myself up on the mirror just to see if some flakiness had made me look like a witch. Haha! The shade is very opaque so one swipe will really go a long way. One asset of this tube that I undoubtedly adore is its ULTRA long lasting because of its ability to cling on your lips more than it clings on your coffee cups and clothes. The vibrancy of the red is not that overpowering that would make you look clownish. Its subtle orangey tint made it more glamorous and at the same time very much wearable. I reckon that red lipsticks are very attention seeking. Though this is a FACT, the attention is worth it. Just like what I'd usually say, any lipstick will look good on you, as long as you wear it with confidence. YOU'VE GOTTA HAVE THE GUTS TO ROCK IT. For Php1000 a tube, its still worth the keeps.
