MAC Ruby Woo vs NYX Really Red

My verdict

NYX Really Red is a dependable dupe for Ruby Woo that captures the same iconic blue-red matte finish at a third of the price. The shade match is excellent—both deliver that universally flattering blue-red that makes teeth look whiter and suits nearly every skin tone. NYX is slightly more drying and may require lip balm underneath, but the color payoff and matte finish are very close to MAC's original. For occasional red lip moments, save your money and go NYX. For daily wear or events, Ruby Woo's formula is more comfortable.
