Pros
1. This is a classic red lipstick from MAC that suits most skin tones well, with a vibrant red color that has a bluish undertone. 2. The color lasts for a long time and has minimal transfer. 3. It provides intense, opaque coverage with just one application. 4. As a classic red color, it can complete a look on its own.
Cons
1. The retro matte texture can make the application thick and drying on the lips. 2. If the lip condition is not good, flakiness may become prominent, so lip balm or lip primer is essential if the lip condition is poor. 3. It must be applied neatly in one go, and it is difficult to reapply.
Tip
When you want a classic yet sophisticated red lip, this is a good choice, but the dry texture can be burdensome, so you need to pay attention to lip care.

Pros
The color is really beautiful haha I prefer deep~dark tones and I think the Ruby shade looks lovely.
Cons
The product has an extremely poor glide and is very dry, so even when applied over lip balm, the application is unsatisfactory, making me disinclined to use it.
Tip
I placed a spoon about 2-3cm above the candle flame, cut some lipstick onto the spoon, melted it, and mixed in moisturizing ingredients to make a liquid. The color expression does change a bit, but at least this way I'm able to use it.

Pros
This may be the fundamental lipstick. I don't think there is a red lip that can replace Ruby Woo yet in terms of longevity and color.
Cons
When your lips have moisture, it means the product doesn't apply well at all. In the winter, if you apply it, your lips will crack, so be careful.

Pros
The color is crazy! No matter what lip I apply, when I layer it on top, it shines in the spotlight all by itself.
Cons
I'm not bothered by it being really tight. Other than that, it's fine haha. Why do I have to fill in so many characters?

The color is pretty and the pigmentation is good. It's also good for layering.

It's too dry and difficult to use. There is flakiness and poor spreadability.

Pros
1. This product is a classic. I remember it being a huge hit with actresses many years ago, along with Chili. While other brands from that era have been discontinued, this one has become a steady seller, giving me a sense of familiarity and closeness. 2. The color is beautiful. It's a classical blend of red and blue. The color reminds me of scarlet, with a touch of the blue ink used for stamping. It's quite unique, yet seems to be readily available at most drugstores. While MAC has raised the price significantly, I have to admit it's a pretty shade. Those with high color saturation can go for a full lip, while lighter skin tones can just use it as a subtle accent. 3. The formula has great adherence and lasting power.
Cons
The application wasn't very even, which was a bit disappointing...
Tip
I recommend applying it with a lip brush or using a base, and doing some light exfoliation beforehand for the best results.

Pros
The color is so beautiful, and you can express a variety of colors depending on whether you apply it thinly or thickly!
Cons
It's quite matte and applies thickly. Blending doesn't work well when applying it.
Tip
If you dab it on, you can also get a beautiful gradient!

Pros
The color payoff is amazing. It wasn't too warm on my cool-toned skin, and it was slightly deeper than my natural lip color. But I think it will apply well when I sheer it out.
Cons
It's quite matte and doesn't apply smoothly, and I think managing flaky skin would be the biggest issue.

The pigmentation itself is excellent, and the color suits cool-toned individuals.
Cons
The flaking of dry skin is excessively prominent, and even after applying lip balm, the product does not apply well.

Pros
I couldn't find a suitable replacement for the red. It's a cold yet vibrant red, which I like.
Cons
It's too matte. But I don't really have any major complaints... The application could be better, though.
