Ruby Woo Lipglass

MAC’s lipglass is the ultimate lip gloss giving you high shine and pigment in a non-sticky formula. Wear the Ruby Woo gloss on it’s own or over your lipstick or paired with your favorite lip liner. 

Ruby Woo Lip Pencil

Shape and line your lips with the iconic MAC lip pencil in Ruby Woo. Of course you can wear this with your Retro Matte Ruby Woo or on its own with a clear gloss.

Create an ombre lip with the Ruby Woo lip pencil on your outer lip line and a lighter shade of red on the inner lip. This pencil is smooth and you won’t have to worry about it tugging at your lips. 

Ruby’s Crew Powder Kiss Lipstick

Ruby Woo in the Powder Kiss formula is a great go-to for everyday wear. It’s the classic blue-red pigment along with a soft matte finish giving your lips the color and all day hydration. 

With the varieties of MAC’s Ruby Woo, you’ll never run out of options or ways to wear this iconic red lip. Autumn is here and red lips are always in season, MAC is launching these new products at the perfect time for us to add them to our fall looks.

As a tip, if you are new to red lipstick, blue based reds look good on almost everyone.
