RiRi Woo vs Ruby Woo

RiRi Woo is a matte cool red lipstick with retro matte finish launched by MAC Cosmetics for musical recording artist Rihanna. RiRi Woo was influenced by the 

ever-so-popular Ruby Woo which happens to 

be Rihanna's favorite lipstick. 

Ruby Woo is a very matte vivid blue-red lipstick, the finish is similar but the retro matte is drier 

and texture is slightly different.

 Matte lipsticks don't have the same smooth, silky, creamy texture like in most of the lipsticks we normally buy. I found it is best when applied 

with a lip brush (MAC 318).

When applied to the lips you can 

barley notice the difference.

  When swatched side-by-side you can see one is a little darker than the other and the 

undertone is slightly different. 

If you didn't get a chance to grab RiRi Woo, don't beat yourself up about it. 

Ruby Woo is just as good if not better and its still my fav!
