For an olive undertone or brown complexion, this has to be one of the easiest to pull of reds.

I'm like a mix of NC42 and NC44 (in Fenty I'm 300 with a little 360) This is not cute on you if you have even the slightest uneven pigmentation on your lips. My natural lip color is basically the MAC Kinda Sexy shade with very little pigmentation around the edges of the lips, so basically, the middle portion is the palest. That\'s the spot where a bright patch of this vivid red just flashed, and it just looks pretty weird to me when I look closer. Someone with more visible lip pigmentation will probably have a much more frustrating time with this. I\'m a Neutral Cool undertone, but for whatever reason, this color just looks odd on me (I bought this thinking it was a little more vivid and cool than Ruby Woo). Another reason why I found this frustrating is because the Sheer lipsticks of MAC are actually really good, and this one is supposed to look matte but apply, spread and feel like your typical sheer lipstick, but this shade in particular just seems more lackluster? The darker, deeper, more pink or brown shades are probably more brown girl friendly than the brighter ones. Other than that, I do see that this swatches and feels amazing, but to me, this doesn't feel like a $18 lipstick at all.
