MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Ruby Woo (Retro Matte), $17
MAC’s iconic matte blue-based red lipstick in Ruby Woo is a makeup favorite for women of all complexions, à la Janelle Monáe, Tracee Ellis Ross and Gwen Stefani, because of its kiss proof and long lasting matte finish. *Tip: Matte lipsticks can suck the life out of your lips. To prep your lips, exfoliate your lips nightly and top with Aquaphor to seal in moisture. The next day, reapply Aquaphor and blot the excess before applying your lipstick.
