Classic Red Lipsticks

Do you have a favourite red lipstick?

I am not much of a make up person but the pretty Dior beauty holiday packaging in 2021 got me on a tiny shopping spree.

The above is a comparison of the classic the MAC ruby woo in matte (left) vs Dior 999 Rouge in Satin (right).

I have been wearing both quite a bit. Initially I thought they were very similar. Then, realised my preference for the blue undertones in the MAC over the orange undertones in the Dior. The MAC feels more like the classic bold red I am used to and the Dior feels more Korean like, if that is a way to describe it.

Both lipsticks are matte and I often wear them over my Elizabeth Arden 8h lip balm because I don’t like the dry feeling on my lips. It is also a great way to make a matte lipstick glossy. I need to hydrate my lips more in order to pull off the matte look.
