    As far as Orange-Red lippies go, this is hands-down the best. I think the color is so fun and unique and I have never seen another color quite like it. It took me years to get to confidence to wear...

    On the hunt of finding a perfect orange-red lipstick, I bought so many. The result was either too orange or too red or something else.But this lipstick is perfection. This is the l/s color which we...

    I guess I am in the minority on this product but this LS did not look good on me at all! I am an NC 43 and it is touted as a good Coral/Orange color for women of color but it was just way too ...

    I love this lipcolor! It's a flaming red-orange that's great at picking up golden tones in skin. It's listed as semi-matte but it appears completely so when I apply, yet the formula is...

    Pricey but such a pretty orangey-red. Looks good on yellow asian skin. A little dry but most matte lipsticks are. From matte lipsticks point of view though, the most moisturising. Not as...

    Hands down the best orange-red lippie shade ever made! If you are like me, a gal who loves oranges, reds, and brights in general you definitely want to invest in this one! Sometimes my NC25/30 skin...

    Semi-matte red lippy with an orange undertone. Love it, it brightenings up my entire makeup and makes my teeth appear white! However, it can be quite tricky to apply especially the edges of the...

    NARS Heat Wave is absolutely the best orange red ever made. It is thick without over-drying, the color just perfectly glide on my lips. The color is so fresh and bright but definitely not tacky....

    I am an asian girl with fair complexion (Dior-Forever030). I fell in love with this semi-matte red with orange undertone from NARS. The color is bright and it has more red than MAC's lady danger...

    This has such great reviews and I do love a good red, so I couldn't resist picking this up. Unfortunately, although people say it looks good on everyone and I am really open-minded about dramatic...

    I was looking for a red/orange lipstick that would give me coverage and work with my skin tone. This is perfect! Great for WOC. It's a semi-matte formula which means you get all the color and look...

    I love NARS lipsticks...but this is so not my color. Looks extremely garish on me. Some brights (such as Jungle Red) look beautiful, but this looks TERRIBLE on me. I am pale with neutral...

    I have to say that if you've never tried a NARS Semi-Matte, you really don't know what you're missing. Even if you're not a lipstick purveyor like myself or you're not really a fan of matte...

    On me this pulls orange more than red. I love it definatly not one for all the wall flowers out there. Heatwave demands attention.
