Today I’m going to give my two cents on these two lipsticks right here. MAC is home to an amazing collection of lipsticks and cosmetics. Among these are the two shades featured in this post, which are Russian Red and Cozy Up. Both are complete opposite shades as one is a bold red whilst the other is a subtle nude peachy color.
These are the shades swatched out on my arm.
Now Russian Red is something serious; it leaves quite the stain even after most of the lipstick has rubbed off. It’s something you would want to wear if you’re going to be out all night partying. Cozy Up, on my skin, is very nude almost to the point of blending into my natural skin tone. Therefore, I don’t think this is the right shade of nude for me. However, if I layer a gloss over it, the color shows up better.

Oohh…. have you tried the new Riri Woo? It’s supposed to be very close to Russian Red! I’ve just received mine (shipped all the way from US!), but it’s too pretty to use!!!
I haven’t! I’m currently looking for an orange-y coral lipstick because I want to try something new 😀
Did you manage to pick up any of the All About Orange lippies?? They had some GORGEOUS coral colors!!!
I wanted to get the Tart one but it was out of stock at the MAC online store :c
The shade of ‘Russian Red’ is absolutely beautiful 🙂 If you are looking for an orange-red one, try M.A.C’s ‘So Chaud’. Otherwise, I’d suggest Korres 45 Coral.
Awesome, thank you I’ll check them out! 🙂
Love MAC lipsticks! Cozy Up is a shade I must have overlooked, it’s gorgeous!
I think it’s a shade that would suit you quite well!
I wear Russian Red to all of my events! If you want to try a coral/orange hue lipstick, try MAC CB 96! Love your blog, BTW!
Thank you so much for stopping by! And I’ll be sure to check that out!
