"This matte crayon offers an exact shade match to its famous M.A.C. counterpart, with no harmful ingredients," says Cati James, a New York City-based makeup artist. "Just be sure to blot your color a bit in order to achieve that signature retro-matte finish."
"This Maybelline lipstick offers a similar color and texture to Ruby Woo," says Luba Todorova, celebrity makeup artist at Warren Tricomi Salon. "It also costs under $6, making it a great score for those who want a drugstore product that actually works."
"This is an affordable M.A.C. dupe that offers a super convenient twist-up-tube," says Montreal-based makeup artist Jacqui Pogue. "This ColourPop shade also offers a vivid and nourishing true-matte red color that looks flawless on every skin tone."
"This red Milani shade is highly-pigmented and super long-lasting," says celebrity makeup artist Mary Irwin. "It also goes on easy with one swipe, making time-consuming makeup application a thing of the past."
