I'm a huuuuuuuge fan of matte lippies! But I don’t buy any
product without doing hours of research on it.
So after spending a few sleepless nights reading up on a
gazillion reviews I finally decided to invest in MAC's Ruby Woo, which is now
my Holy Grail red lipstick!
I was literally jumping in excitement when I finallly got my
hands on this gorgeous shade and I'm super happy to review it today!
What Mac claims:
Formulated to shade, define and showcase the lips. Hundreds of hues,
high-fashion textures. The iconic product that made M·A·C famous.

Retro Matte: matte finish
Review:
This lipstick comes in the signature mac lipstick packaging
and is part of the permanent collection. The black mac casing is very sturdy
(I've dropped mine a couple of times *facepalm*) and makes the product look and
feel oh-so-fabulous!
Ruby woo is a gorgeous blue toned red, the color payoff is
amazing! One swipe is enough to give you full coverage and the perfect red
pout!

What I really love about the retro matte collection is that
the formula is very very matte unlike the regular mac matte lipsticks
which kind of have a creamy matte finish to them. It can be a bit drying
though so make sure you exfoliate and moisturize your lips properly before
application so the lipstick glides on easily!
The lipstick stays on for upto 12hours; I haven't left it on
for a longer period of time. It needs a few touchups if you eat oily food otherwise
stays put and surprisingly does not get on the rims of glasses, wowza!
The fragrance is the signature vanilla scent, which I
actually really like, but its barely noticeable once you put it on in case
you're not a fan of the scent
I am a Mac NC 30, which is medium toned skin and this blue
toned red suits me just as much as it suits my friend who is Mac NW 30 and my
sister who is Mac NC 35. I think it’s the kind of red that will suit almost
anyone! It actually makes my face look brighter and fresher every time I wear
it!
I carry my lipstick around in my bag and keep it in room
temperature and up till now it hasn’t shown any signs of melting or cracking. I
got mine 5 months ago and I am absolutely in love with it, its definitely going
to be a staple in my makeup stash!
I got mine from Scentsation in Dolmen Mall for Rs. 3,200. I
know it’s double the retail price but I had heard some people complaining about
getting expired one's at Agha's, Yikes! Nevertheless I'm not going to buy MAC
from there again cause its too expensive, so totally worth it though hehe
You can easily get any mac lipstick for Rs. 2,200 from pages
like Amor on facebook. They're very reliable!
In Conclusion:
The Yays:
• Very matte
• Great color payoff
• Full coverage
• Suits almost any skin tone
The Nays:
• A little drying
• Its expensive
• You don't like the vanilla scent (no!)
Rating:
5/5
Hope that this was helpful!
Until next time,
