Russian Red
MAC Russian Red Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had rich, opaque color payoff that applied evenly across the lips and never tugged during application. The consistency was lightweight, just creamy enough to glide on but not enough to slide around while worn. This shade lasted for over six hours, left a stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Viva Glam I
MAC Viva Glam I Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. There’s a hint of brown to it, which gives it a slightly retro vibe. The lipstick felt smooth, lightly creamy as it glided across the lips and delivered even, opaque pigmentation in a single stroke. This shade wore well for six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was non-drying. I can still remember the first time I wore this shade, it was absolutely love–it was such a beautiful, flattering shade that made me feel so confident.

Cockney
MAC Cockney Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a brighter, medium red with warmer, yellow undertones and a luminous sheen. It had a Lustre finish, so it had more translucent coverage–semi-sheer to medium pigmentation–that appeared almost stain-like. The consistency was firmer initially but melted and felt more emollient as I applied it. Not all Lustres wear well for me, but Cockney is one of the more versatile and comfortable to wear shades within that finish for me. It wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.
