Christmas just seems to bring out the need for a red lipstick, am I right or what?
Both the Ruby Woo and the Russian Red have striking colors that would turn heads. But the fact that Russian Red applies more smoothly makes it the better pick between the two. Ruby Woo could have given Russian Red a run for its money where color is concerned, but the finish is. Both the Ruby Woo and the Russian Red have striking colors that would turn heads. But the fact that Russian Red applies more smoothly makes it the better pick between the two. Ruby Woo could have given Russian Red a run for its money where color is concerned, but the finish is what truly matters in the end. There is saying among women that if a man understands the shades of lipsticks and can differentiate between Ruby Woo and Russian Red then he is suitable to spend the life with. Lipstick not just brings the femininity of yours but the sheen in you gets evident.
- Ruby Woo is a vivid blue-red. Absolutely true to it's name, it is one of the most beautiful ruby red lipsticks that you can ever find. Russian Red is an intense bluish-red as well. Ruby Woo has tad more pink to it than Russian Red.

Mac's Ruby Woo and Russian Red are very well known red lipsticks in the makeup world. I ended up buying both of them over the years and thought I would do a swatch and formula comparison for you. They are definitely super close in color, but if you are a lover of red, you will notice some differences!
Swatches after two swipes
Ruby Woo is probably the more well known and talked about shade, mainly because it looks good on everyone, no matter their skin tone. It is a retro matte shade and is a super dry formula. So dry in fact, it feels like it is pulling on your lips when you apply it. The color is a brighter red and pretty opaque. If you are looking for a bright, attention getting red, this is the one for you. The dry formula is not my favorite, but I know tons of people who love it. Really a matter of personal preference on the formula aspect. If you are looking for an easy way to make your makeup look festive in a minute, try Ruby Woo.
Russian Red is another popular, but probably less well known red from Mac. It's more of a true blue red and I love this color. It's definitely less intense than Ruby Woo and is a bit darker and also opaque. The formula while still a matte, is much less dry than Ruby Woo's formula. For me, that's a plus. It looks a bit darker than it really is in the photo above, so use the swatch photo to judge the color comparison.

When comparing Mac's Ruby Woo vs Russian Red, for me, Russian Red is the winner. Both are classic shades, but I love a true blue red and Ruby Woo is a bit too bright for me for everyday. I also like Russian Red's formula better. I do not care for a dry finish formula and that's been my biggest complaint about Ruby Woo.
Have you tried both? Which one is your fave? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

About the lipsticks:
The overly famous Ruby woo falls under ‘Retro matte' category of the Mac Matte Lipstick. Retro matte lipsticks are super matte and can be extremely hard to apply on dry/ chapped lips. A well-moisturized lip is a must before applying the lipstick on or it may look horribly sad. But, retro matte lipsticks has it's own beauty. Since the texture of the lipsticks is super matte, the color payoff is amazing and it's long-wearing formula is commendable.
Russian Red, on the other hand, falls under Mac's ‘matte' category and therefore is very smooth and easy to apply. It is way off creamy and has a high color payoff. It has the perfect matte texture and doesn't have any shimmer or shine.

Texture: Ruby woo is super matte and needs a good amount of swipes and the right amount of pressure to get the perfect red pout. Udacity customer service number. Works best on well-moisturized lips. Russian red, on the other hand, is super easy to apply since it's texture is that of a creamy matte. The matte texture of both the lipsticks helps the product from feathering, so you have a non messy lips most of the day.
Lipstick Hack: I am sure you all know this very common lipstick hack where you dab a little amount of loose powder over the lipstick to give it a matte finish. I tried the trick with Russian Red lipstick, and I was quite surprised to see that it looked (almost) like Ruby Woo. The powder minimises the deeper undertone and gives it a bit brighter look.
For those who love rich matte Red lipsticks, I suggest you guys try both the shades out!
