Most red lip fans have MAC Ruby Woo lipstick in their collection—here's why it's such an icon

Everybody has their favourite MAC lipstick. More specifically, everybody has their favourite red MAC lipstick—and judging by the shopping stats, for most people that’s Mac's Ruby Woo lipstick. According to the brand (if you include mini lipsticks), more than 65,000 Ruby Woos are sold in a year. That works out as more than 180 per day, or nearly eight per hour. 

Many make-up wearers have at least one of the best red lipsticks in their collection and, even when we aren’t talking MAC specifically, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that lots of those select reds will be Ruby Woo. It has long promised to be universally flattering—bright and not too blue—that suits everybody. Naturally, it's in my collection, too.
