MAC Ruby Woo Dupes (UK)
Ruby Woo is the cool blue-red people buy when they want impact and whiter-looking teeth. A true dupe has to stay in that blue-red family — not Chili, not a warm brick.
Start with Russian Red if you want MAC comfort, Red Carpet Red if you want luxury, and Maybelline Pioneer if you want the look under £10.
