MAC Runaway Red - Review, Photos, Swatches

What do I love about MAC Runaway Red? It's not the red that screams vintage and pin-up. It's not a bright, in-your-face red. It looks like a dark brown lipstick on the tube, but really, it's a medium dark blue-based red. A lot darker than MAC Russian Red. This lipstick has a satin finish.

This was taken around 5:00am, during my 8:30pm-5:30am shift.
I'm sorry for the sleepy eyes. >__<



PROS: It's not your usual red lipstick (bright, in-your-face red). This is darker than Russian Red, which for me is a daytime red lipstick. The finish is amazing. It's opaque, long wearing, and not drying.
CONS: A limited ed shade, but has been re-promoted just recently. A bit pricey.

VERDICT: 5 out of 5 CHILIS! I didn't expect loving this shade and finish. Although I love MAC Rebel (satin finish, too), I didn't think I'll love a red lipstick in this finish. Good thing it's darker so the subtle sheen is just perfect. A really great buy, in my own honest opinion. :)




Where To Buy:

Face Of The Day: MAC Runaway Red

The first day of transition (from morning to graveyard shift) is always the worst. People are cranky, tired, and sleepy. I don't drink coffee and I don't smoke. The only thing that keeps my blood pumping is the lipstick that I'm donning. Today, that is MAC Runaway Red.

I'm just excited to wear it for the first time today!
Wearing bold lipstick is the best excuse to have a lazy eye makeup (that's why I love them!). ;)


What I'm Wearing:

MAC Studio Fix NC25
Nichido Waterproof Eyeliner in Brown (used on my eyebrows)
Urban Decay Book Of Shadows III - Suspect (inner half), Smog (outer half)
