A true red Mac lippie?

[madkitty]

can anyone recommend one - I have russian red and glam but they still have pinky tones?

 

[messhead]

I have Dubonnet and New York Apple... They seem pretty red to me!!!

Dubbonet or Ruby Woo?

 

[freaksinunif0rm]

Russian Red has blue undertones...and Ruby Woo is too pink.


Umm...I forgot which one was a true red...

Lady Bug?

Pantone 032 is what I consider to be true red (google-image search it... and the closest to that is Russian Red... everyone has a different idea of what a true red is. It also may just look bluer on you...
So... I'd either use an orange pencil or cut it with Morange to get a custom shade.

Dubonnet is a beautiful red lipstick. Here's one of my fotd wearing it: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=62299

Ruby Woo I would have said was the "truest" red...

If what you want is something VERY VERY vivid red without pink then maybe try "Lady Danger" - it has a bright coral undernote to it, but on some colourings that just makes it look "more red"...

PS - there's a really good shot of "Lady Danger" about 2/3 of the way down this thread page here...

I think of "Lady Danger" as my "80s red" and "Ruby Woo" as my '50s red, if that makes sense... they are both very vivid...

I have lady danger as well but didnt mention that earlier as its not red in my eyes more orange-red

Dubonnet is my favorite mac red but it has brown undertones to it.

I'd say Ruby Woo is quite a 'true' red. On me it's like Russian Red but with a less noticeable blue undertone... I might just be odd though!
