MAC By Special Order Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "deep reddened fuchsia [with an Amplified finish]." It's a bold, bright medium-dark pink-red with cooler undertones and fine pink pearl. It had mostly opaque coverage with a moderately creamy texture with some slip that applied evenly but didn't slide around easily. On me, this shade lasted for over six hours, left behind a fuchsia-hued stain, and was slightly hydrating. Smashbox Red Rage (P, $21.00) is darker, more muted (95% similar).
