Recently popularized by Rihanna, this lip color is stunning from all directions.Ĭhili (Texture: Matte) – A natural more warmer based red that’s not so in your face. Ruby Woo (Texture: Matte) – A bright red that will get you attention. Russian Red (Texture: Matte) – Is a great all purpose blue based red that looks good on all skin tones (makes the teeth look whiter as well). So the best bet is to check out the colors mentioned below at the store and try them out on yourself. Please keep in mind that I’ve chosen a mix of colors that would suit different tones of skin – light, medium, olive and dark.

Also please find some swatches below to give you a better idea about the color (I’m a NC25 for those who follow the MAC number system).
