Maybe that's not a bad thing!
If you like the sound of a dense texture, along the lines of Toxic Tale, Runaway Red might be very nice on you - possibly will show a bit on the pink side, if your skin is very pink. It's a deep color, but it's not dark, since it's not blackened in any serious way - just a tiny touch so it's not neon bright. Layering more on makes it appear deeper, but one smooth layer is pretty much mid-tone and good for daytime for anything except maybe full summer sunshine (a lighter pencil or lipstick underneath or a lighter gloss on top would take care of that).
Most MAC reds are neutrally balanced between blue, brown and orange tones or are just on the warm side all the way, so Runaway Red is outside of the norm. The Satin texture might be too matte and dense for some tastes, but if you don't mind it, the color itself ought to work fine on you. If you don't own a lot of red lipsticks, because they never look right on you, this might actually work really well, but I think there's a good chance that we'll see another really good blue-red coming up with Eden Rouge mattene in Posh Paradise (that one will be lighter and brighter, but looks less blue).
NOTE: Did you like the red Dare to Wear lipglass - Bold & Brash? That's the last MAC blue-red lippie that really worked well on me, but Runaway Red is more stylish and a richer, more luxurious color overall than that one. I wanted to like Wicked Ways l/g, but it didn't do much for me and just looked ordinary - it was too balanced. I only do well with very obviously orange or blue-toned reds and prefer blue based, because they bring out the blue tones in my green eyes better. Strut Your Stuff from Peacocky really popped on me, but isn't a color I could just wear on its own without blush, since it made my skin look a touch sallow, since it's so orange. 'Just to give you more of an idea on Runaway Red - hope this helps.

Good. You need it! No matter what I'm wearing, I try to find a way to work it into my look. I wore Street Cool on my lid, all by itself with Creamy Bisque on the inner corner and under the brow and Sketch in the crease. Loved it. I was afraid that somehow, Street Cool would start to suck, but it's still the same creamy, pigmented, fool-proof color I tested the other day. I wish the other shade sticks had been of the same quality.

I've never had a 226 before so I hope the ones I ordered are the right shape, I know with handmade brushes they will vary slightly but they should be almost identical. I'm going to compare to previous edition photos of the brush to see how mine look when they arrive otherwise I might send one/them back.

I finally received the last of my orders, since I made two separate ones. The first one was Oh, Oh, Oh lipstick, and the second one was Tundra shadestick. One question I just had, though, is why did my Tundra ship as a hazardous material? It it flammable because of the pigments used to make it?
Anyway, Oh, Oh, Oh is a little muddy on me, which dissappoints me, and I hope I can find a gloss or something to use with it to make it work. On the other hand, Tundra is absolutely gorgeous, and I think I may need a back-up!

It's about time that Nordstrom's is able to offer free shipping with no minimum purchase. I happened to pick up another 226 brush while in Las Vegas. I also was able to get my hands on Outre which seems to work better for me than the mustard color in the Cinematic collection. I'm still on the fence about the Evil Eye Quad.

People seem to either love or hate this quad. If you haven't already swatched it, then I suggest trying it out over a paint pot.

I don't think so since it was already sent out for shipping. I was also already billed, sooooo those items better find their way to my house quick.
