How we selected
We all want to find that perfect go-to lipstick without sampling all of them.

In many ways, this lipstick is the most classic of the classics.
In fact, Taylor Swift herself calls this one her favorite (viaPopSugar).
I am even known for my signature ‘Ruby Woo’ look!!

Hands down it is a must have.
Worth every penny."

The shade Amsterdam is a bright cherry red that leans ever so slightly on the warmer side.
It really pops against fairer skin while being a bit toned down by that matte finish.
One reviewsays, “How did I stumble onto the perfect lipstick????

This lipstick goes on smooth and sort of dries to a nice, natural finish.
It doesn’t bleed and lasts longer than most lipsticks.
I have tried a lot of matte lipsticks lately.

Some are okay, but this one is superior.
I can’t believe the price!!!”

One reviewsays, “This is a beautiful shade of lipstick!

It is a darker red, but still looks good on fair skin/blonde haired people.
It lasted through lunch.”
Buy theMaybelline New York Color Sensational Red Lipstick Powder Matte Lipstick in Cruel Rubyon Amazon for $7.75.

If this sounds like you, then this Revlon lip tint is the perfect pick.
When freshly applied, the lipstick has a slight sheen to it.
After about an hour it ‘sets’ to more of a stain product.
It lasts about 8-10 hours on me.
The color is a gorgeous red that ‘pops’ without being too severe to wear during the day.
It provides light moisture, but will accentuate any dry spots after it sets.
Also, it smells great."
