MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo Review:
Review By Samannita,
Hey Beauties,
There is a common proverb that “when in doubt wear red” and I understand this line after ending my 1.5 year of blogging and after spending my money on pinks and browns and corals near about 50 lipsticks I finally brought my first red lipstick and it is none other than “the show stopper of all mac lipsticks”, “the hottest selling shade “RUBY WOO”. Yes finally…

My Experience with MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo:
Packaging:

Now coming to the packaging:-
Although it is the hottest selling shade or the show stopper but it comes in a usual packaging. It comes in a black bullet with the very own vanilla smell. And this Ruby woo falls under the collection of “retro matte collection of Mac.”

My Take:
Mac retro matte collection lipsticks are super matte and so are the ruby woo. It is super matte so one has to be very careful with this lipstick as it might end up looking flaky on lips. So exfoliation and moistening of lipstick before applying the lipstick is suggested. But I am a matte lover so I think Ruby woo is just perfect for my choice. The shade is “blue base red” so I think this kind of shade will look good on any skin tone, only one should have the confidence to carry it.

As winter is here so it’s the ideal time to wear red. But the lipstick being super matte may tends to tugs or pulls the lips during application so whether its summer or winter application of lip balm before applying the lipstick is suggested. The lipstick being matte doesn't transfer into cups and mugs and so it doesn't left the history of your where about.

Coming to the pigmentation, definitely will give 9 on 10 as one swipe is just perfect to give opaque coverage. The staying power of lipstick is around 7hours on my lips which I think is pretty long time. After that it starts fading but leave a nice red tint. If you like to wear it as tint like me or else has to re-apply once it fade…

Now coming to the pros and cons

Pros of MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo:
• Have variety of shades.
• Perfect for winter.
• Matte finish.
• Excellent coverage of pigmented lips.
• Pigmented.
• Stays near about 7 hours without fading.
• Doesn't transfer.
• Leaves a nice red tint after fading.

Cons of MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo:
• The formula is super matte which lead to super drying of lips followed by accentuates fine lines of lips.
• The lipstick tends to tug your lips while applying.
• Availability might be a problem as it is the hottest selling shade; in fact I have to pre-book this lipstick in our Kolkata mac store before to get it.

My ratings:- 3/5 due to all cons.

My final verdict:-
If you never wear red or want to play safe with red then try this hot shade , I bet it is the most versatile shade that will suit everyone from fair to dusky, but like I said before all you have to need “the confidence to wear it”.

I believe “anybody can be beautiful by proper using of makeup and makeup doesn't mean wearing a mask on your face but to enhance your beauty by hiding your flaws and highlighting your best feature “. Well, that’s it …Keep smiling because this is the best exercise that you can do to tone your facial muscles and can look younger for ages :)
