MAC x Ruffian (June 2012) Discussion

[singer82]

Right?! I was like man, with all the HC craziness going on this got lost.
I'm still getting used to red lips. So I'm a lil scared of it coming out this fall

OMG, I know this is late but I love, love, love Ruffian Gold. And since I decided to give Earthshine a try, RR made it into my cart as well. I see a Fall trend for lots of different red and crimson lips, so I will get lots of use out of RR and Runaway Red--oops, both of those would be RR, so I guess RuffR and RnwyR???

I got Red Racer from Hey Sailor. Do I still need Ruffian Red? Are they quite different? Does anyone have both? TIA!

GlamQueen21, Ruffian Red looks beautiful on you! <3
Singer82, I don't have many red l/s eitther. I love bright lipsticks. "A vibrant cherry red" sounds tempting.

They are both very different! I did a swatch comparison a few pages back and I have pictures on my profile of both of them! I think Ruffian Red fits that yellow-red description a little better, at least with how they look on me!

Thank you so much, duckrodeo for the description and pictures of Ruffian Red!

I love how gorgeous it looks on you! I think I'll like it as well. A bright yellow-red lipstick in matte finish sounds good.

Hope it will stay long at the MAC website. My wallet needs time to recover from the Heavenly Creature collection. That collection is the bomb, isn't it?

I got my Ruffian Red and Ruffian Gold today! Thanks again purplerinne!
Here is Ruffian Red over Redd lipliner. It's gorgeous! The eye and face makeup are from earlier today, so they don't fit too well with the lipstick, but I wanted to try it.

And here is Ruffian Gold over it. I love this even more!

i feel like i can wear RG over anything so i got a BU. Over pinks...purples...wow even on its own

 

[baghdad81]

I wore RR yesterday and it wore well over 5 hours with eating! I love it....I am still contemplating a BU when I can afford it!

 

[singer82]

When I put the gold directly on the red it gets all over the lipstick. I don't want to have to wipe it of every time, don't want to waste it. How do you apply the gold over the red without doing that.

I use a lip brush.

Ruffian Gold over Heroine is also quite lovely! I imagine it's quite lovely over just about....everything. I've been contemplating getting Ruffian Red, but I think Russian Red is a little more me and I can get that one anytime.

I'm going to return Ruffian Naked. It just doesn't work for me. There's something about this particular nude shade that doesn't compliment me at all. It looks so pasty. In contrast, Innocence, Beware! looks fine on me. Maybe there's too much white in Ruffian Naked for my skin tone. I tried various brown liners and I have to alter the color way too much to make it wearable on me. I prefer using liners to get a more polished lip look, so that's not the issue. I just don't like having to change the color so much to get it to look right. What's the point of me buying that lipstick shade if it no longer looks like that shade when I wear it?! I also don't want to have to put gloss over it to get it to look right. I think the lipstick should look good on its own and the gloss adds something extra to make it even more special. The lipstick shouldn't "need" a gloss to look right. Ah well.

I could probably trade with someone if they're interested. It's been swatched on the lips a few times in my attempts to get it to work. But seeing how it's still available on the US website, I think it'll just be returned.

Thats what I was thinking! thanks

That sounds killer.

Stunning on you! You should wear red all the time it is so lovely & complimentary on you.

WHAAAT? That's really odd. I wonder what happened. Perhaps there's an ingredient that's a problem? I tried to look for Ruffian yesterday and couldn't find it but I assumed it was just filed weirdly.

Update: It's been deleted from my Favourites as well - it's as if it never existed. I was trying to see if it could be accessed that way for re-order. Nope. Well, that sucks. I'm sorry that you missed RG.

Does anyone know if the Ruffian collection will return to Canada? I would love to get Ruffian Red and Gold.
