Review: Nars Red Lizard

So I nearly have given up on trying out red bold lipstick. Why? I already have thick lips so I did not want to have them appear fuller…In my family, fat lips are regarded as ugly…

I originally wanted to try Chanel Dragon as many have placed it as the Queen of all red lipstick.

However, all these have been changed once I watched  Blush Is the New Black on Youtube.

She immediately convinced me to grab Nars Red Lizard! It looks amazing on her lips! Well, it helps that she is gorgeous already!

So, I wore it to shopping this past chilly Saturday.

Here’s Nars Red Lizard on my lips.

At first, the red is overwhelming! I was really not used to such vibrant color on my lips. But after a few stares at the mirror, I slowly adapted and then fell in love with it….

It is majorly a matte finish with a hint of sheen. Therefore, I was afraid it would be very drying. However, this mindset was wrong! Surprising, my lips did not peel at all even in such chilly weather.

I applied this without any lipliner or using a lip brush. I simply applied directly through the tube. The pointy side of the lipstick gives enough control to draw a precise line.

The red appears to be more orange toned on my pictures. However, it really is a true neutral red. The swatch can be viewed in my previous post.

I really love red bold lips now! I’m officially a convert! Please be prepared to receive some stares…which is exactly what happened to me. I don’t know if they were good kinds of stares or bad kinds…but as long I feel comfortable wearing it, it shouldn’t matter!

    I’ve been eyeing this lipstick for a while now. I’m Asian too and i think this red looks great on ppl with yellow undertones. But like you said, I remember the last time I wore red lips, I got sooo many stares I just couldn’t handle it. What is up with red lips grabbing everyone’s attention!!

  • zuuchini says:

    That shouldn’t stop us from wearing it! Red lips are just simply so classic. A very bold statement that captures people’s attention. But this attention that we are not used to makes us so nervous…I remember when I was paying…the cashier really stared at me…rather unnerving! but the beauty of the color makes it all worth it 🙂

    Full lips are the most beautiful! Angelina jolie is one of the many beauties with them! theyre most sought after! and men see full lips as most desireable! You wouldnt want papercut thin lips with red lipstick..that will look like a bloody bruse! full,sexy,juicy lucious lips are the most beautiful!
