Mac Lipsticks have always been in high demand, but Ruby Woo
is a particularly popular colour. I have a few of their lipsticks in different
textures like satin and matte. Ruby Woo is a retro matte which is the 'most
matte' in my collection. It is available for £15.50 from the MAC website.
The shade itself is a dark red but it also has cool blue
undertones to it. However, the retro matte texture is so dry it feels like I’m
dragging on my lips to apply it, and it takes a lot of effort to build up the
pigment. The formula is really drying once the product is on the lips and it’s
not comfortable to wear at all. I prefer a lipstick that you forget
you’re wearing – impossible with Ruby
Woo. Even the swatches appear ‘dry’.
Once it’s on your lips good luck getting it off because that
shit will leave your lips stained for days. On the upside, that does mean the
pigment lasts throughout the day even when you eat and drink, as well as no
transfer, but in my opinion the dryness just doesn’t make it worth it. On a
scale of 1-10, Ruby Woo would receive a definite 4. A good dupe is ‘creeper’
ultra-matte liquid lipstick by colourpop, which is cheaper and would probably
be more comfortable considering it's a liquid lip product.
