About this shade
MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo is a deep blue-toned red with a cool base. The world's most famous blue-red: a dry matte, heavily pigmented and flattering on almost every skin tone.
In the try-on we use its colour code (#9E1A32) and apply it to your photo while keeping your skin's light and texture, so you can see how it really looks on you before buying. The real shade can vary slightly by batch and screen.
Who is it for?
Because of its colour, it especially suits the Winter colour season. Cool shades tend to flatter people whose skin has pink tones, who burn easily in the sun and look better in silver.
Matte finish
A matte finish doesn't reflect light: the colour looks flat, even and intense, and it usually lasts longer than a creamy finish. The trade-off is that it can cling to dry patches, so prep the area with a light balm or primer a few minutes before.
As a rough guide, a lipstick like this lasts three to six hours; eating and drinking shorten that.
