Which of MAC's red l/s should I get?

[Rockell]

I have some B2M ready to use, and I want to get a red lipstick because I don't have one. I am super fair skinned, light blue eyes, red hair. I wear both warm and cool lippies (though more warm than cool) so I don't know whether I want an orange red or a blue red. I don't have a problem with lipsticks turning on me at all.

So...what are some of the best ones??

I love russian red, but i am super pale with dark hair and blue eyes. Its a very bright, coolish red. It looks very blue based to me. If you get it, lipliner is a must. Its very look at me lips.

blue-red = russian red

orange-red = ruby woo

i've heard lady danger is pretty good also!

3rd for Russian Red.

If you want something warmer and... not insanely bright, Lady Bug might be it.

I LOVE MAC Red (on me it is a true blue red) I use it with Cherry l/l. To me that is a true classic red, like old hollywood stars would wear in movies. It is definitely a look at me I am wearing RED lipstick look. And I really like Lady Bug with Brick liner for a more moist look that is a bit toned down. Well, maybe toned down isn't the right description, Lady Bug is a bit more deep, not as bright, but still intense and blue red and MAC Red is matte whereas Lady Bug is a lustre. HTH

Not quite a recommendation, but in case this may help in your decision... I just stumbled upon this at MUA today by member threnodyinvelvet.

As for my

, I have Dubonnet and love it. The amplified creme texture is great, and if I need it a bit more sheer I just swipe some lip balm on first. HTH!

I love dubonet, but I think Lady bug, it's loud, its unapologetic and its beautiful. The only thing is orangy tones can make your teeth look yellow

I have dubonet as well, I think the shade is great... I wore it for my wedding

I'm NW20, - blue eyes, blond hair, so it sounds like we're similar!

I have Ladybug, it's really pretty but it is a Lustre, so expect a lot of upkeep on it. I'd almost use it as a gloss over another red.
