Dubonnet is beautiful. Diva, Russian Red and Viva Glam I are also nice, depending on the shade and look you're going for.

I love Dubonnet! For me what turns a lipstick from like into love is how it looks as it fades and Dubonnet almost gets better as it wears off! It leaves such a beautiful stain on the lips. So Scarlet is a lovely color as well, but I find this one tends to go a bit pink on me.

You're not the only who thinks that- a faded Dubonnet was feature in Vogue.

So all of the drugstore lip colours I've tested out there never suit me exactly, I always have to mix & blend them with other colours
Until I discovered the N.Y.C. long-wearing lipcolour
It's the only one I can wear without having to mix with other colours because its too dark/light
The one I have is 487C (lipcolour on one side, clear gloss on the other) and I LOOOVE it
P.S. I hope its ok that I posted a non-MAC recommendation...

Right now, I think it's "Snow White" from NYX round lipsticks. I haven't tried too many reds ever because I am more of a nude lip kind of girl. I believe Snow White is a blue based red and it looks good on Asian skintones. I'm sure it'll work for others as well but I am just basing this on personal experience.

I like New York Apple, however for full disclosure, it's the only red that I have at this time.

MAC's Russian Red. I used to love Ruby Woo when I first discovered matte, retro lip colors, but it really does suck the softness out of my lips. Russian Red dries me out a bit, too, but it's such a true and gorgeous color. Doesn't clash with my yellow-toned skin, and behaves very well.
When I'm not doing a lined & defined "perfect red lip" (as in...sort of smudgy, maybe put some gloss on top, "I've been making out for hours" look) I can use almost any drugstore true red and it'll be fine.

Hi Girls!
Before everything, I apologize in advance for my poor english... As many girls here, I am stuck in the NW45-NC50 shade but that's not the point. Here is my issue.
I really dig red lips but I cannot manage to find the perfect red for me.
I have 2 MAC reds l/s: Viva Glam I (matte) and Red (amplified) (the strange thing is that this l/s seems to be discontinued now, anyone knows?). The problem is that I can't find a good combination to make them work.
Sometimes I try the Red l/s with l/p Nightmoth: the result is great but it's quite purple-ish...
When it comes to VGI, I just look like a clown... I tried everything. I bought the brick l/l to make it work but it seems there is no solution..
Help me to find a solution as I am enduring my very first disappointment with MAC.
Thanks for your help Girls
