I finally added this lipstick to my collection after receiving it for free with my Cyber Monday order. I just never gravitated towards it & I really don't get the hype.
The shade is pretty standard to me and I hate how it applies. I am familiar with the retro matte formula & Flat out Fabulous is my favourite of the bunch. I also find that it is not opaque.
Ruby Woo is just too dry, even with prep & prime lip & a liner. I generally gravitate to bright reds & Lady Danger is more my speed.
I'll keep it just to have it, but I don't see this one getting a ton of use. It's just meh ...
I was lucky to win this lipstick in a competition and fell in love the second I tried it! The fire-engine red colour is eye-catching and bold. Because the lipstick is matte, it applies best on a smooth surface so I would recommend gently exfoliating your lips before application. The only downsides are the fact that it is hard to take off (micellar water eventually worked with some effort) and drying (so apply lip balm after taking the lipstick off. The pigment is rich, vibrant and on point for any season or occasion. I think the undertones make this a red shade that can suit a variety of skin tones.
This is that type of lipstick that makes you feel like a million bucks when you apply it!
A bit of a cult shade, this item is a staple for any beauty enthusiast! While I'm not that big a fan of the price-point, the longevity and pigmentation of this lipstick is worth it- I have yet to finish a tube!
A great choice for gals with warm skin tones.

I absolutely love this lipstick, if you’re looking for a staple red lipstick then Ruby Woo is for you. Perfect on every skin tone and brings out the whiteness of your teeth, long lasting and the colour is so vibrant
One of the best colours in the MAC range. The vibrant red colour has a blue undertone so it will suit all skin colours. Although it can be a bit drying on the lips, it stays put all day. Absolutely love it !
I honestly LOVE this red. It's such a perfect red for a girls night out. The price is also reasonable for a high end brand, however, the formula is quite drying and I often find that it is a bit difficult to apply to the lips, especially if you have dry lips.
An alternative product (and my absolute favorite) would be the NYX matte lip cream in the colour Monte Carlo, available at Clicks.
This was the first MAC lipstick I had ever purchased and it still remains my favourite!
Ruby Woo has amazing pigmentation which flatters any skin tone and if you want a show-stopper colour, now you have it. I will say that the Matte formula is a bit drying after a little while so I'd recommend a lip balm or vaseline to be used before applying the lipstick but that's a small inconvenience compared to how long it lasts for on your lips.
MAC Ruby Woo is the ultimate red lipstick which screams for attention while still looking classy making it a wonderful investment for your makeup bag.
Totally love Ruby Woo! It is bold and suits every skin tone. Truly makes you feel like a diva. The only issue is that it can dry out your lips so I would suggest using a lip primer or even moisturising your lips (give the moisturiser time to soak into your lips), then apply Ruby Woo.
Okay so I am not really a makeup person, But i am a sucker for Red Lipstick (and to be honest, who isnt)
So this Lipstick is manufacture by #MACcomestics and is sold at MAC counters going for around -/+ 200 depending on where you buy it. It is a pretty hefty price for a lipstick , i know, but it is worth it.
The lipstick comes in Matte and Retro Matte. It is super pigmented so it lasts a while.
Only downside i have about this lipstick is the chalky feeling it leaves on your lips, especially the retro matte one but a little moisturizer before application can hep that out.
A good investment for anyone that Loves BOLD REDS.
Give it a gander soon,
let me know what you think if you have it and have a lovely day.
I am generally a very shy person when it comes to daring make-up and fashion choices which means that 9 out of 10 times you would find in dull and safe colours and little to no make -up. A week ago a friend of mine was tired of me and my dull style and she decided to surprise me with the Mac Ruby Woo lipstick, obviously this was one big joke to me and I knew that she had wasted R210, 00 on a gift I was only going to look at and laugh at.
Long story short she pinned me down, put it on me (ok so maybe a little too dramatic, she strong armed me lol) and I honestly feel like my face came alive. Its rich texture means you only have to apply it once and its tone makes it a fit for any skin tone. Its daring but not overwhelming and it its suited for any occasion- even on sneaker day. I obviously wore it the whole day (how else was I going to fit in my selfie session) and it didn’t once disappear from my lips like most lipsticks are known to do. Mac lipsticks are a must have even the fashion fearful. If you are looking to add a bit of sting to your dull everyday look then this is your brand!!!!
I love this lipstick as it can be worn both professionally and on a night out , it's a fun soft color that puts a smile on my face and it does not make my lips dry as some lipsticks do. High five to this awesome product ????????
I've tried MAC Rudywoo as I wanted to find out what the fuss was all about. It's a tad bit more expensive than my usual go-to brands but it was worth it. I've never really liked matte lipsticks as it tends to dry my lips out but I've decided to exfoliate my lips thoroughly before applying it and the result was amazing to say the least. I love the vibrancy of the color and the fact that its long lasting as I hate having to re-apply every 5 minutes. I'll definitely invest in it again and have found another color, Sin that totally speaks to me so I'll invest in those 2 ;)
I love the shade of this lipstick and paired with a lipliner it looks amazing.
Looks great on my skin and very pigmented.
Only thing I can fault it on is after awhile it can dry out your lips, so before application treat your lips to a scrub/exfoliation or moisturise them well.
Works well with my complexion and does not make your teeth look yellow like some reds or bright colours do
Highly pigmented, lasts long and does not dry out your lips like a lot of matte lipsticks do AS LONG as your lips are well treated and conditioned before applying
I eventually wound up at Mavericks for a birthday party one night and saw a young lady with an amazing lipstick on. I chased her down and as I caught up to her, she stared at me rather weirdly while I blurted out,"What lipstick are you wearing?? It's amazing!" She said MAC Ruby Woo and exactly a week after that day, I purchased this magical lipstick.
The colour suits EVERYBODY. I say this because no red lipstick has ever suited my lip shape before. The staying power is fabulous and long lasting and I've received LOADS of compliments. It makes your teeth whiter and your face brighter.
Only downer, it tends to make your lips feel dry after awhile. Exfoliating your lips prior helps a lot and a balm prior the as well. Wonderful product and I highly recommend it.
Red lipstick just has a way of boosting a girls confidence and making her feel SO sexy! I'm not a huge fan of shiny lipsticks, I prefer the matte look.. I fell in love with this MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo, it is super matte, rich in color, & the most divine red! When wearing this lipstick, no dramatic make up is needed, just a simple cat eye will make it look gorg! Because it's so matte, it's a bit of a hassle t get on, so I usually exfoliate my lips first, with a tooth brush - then apply Chapstick - then apply the lipstick.. It stays on for 8 + hours, even if you or drink anything..
