If you judge me according to my name, you obviously know I love Nars. This stunning lipstick is my summer HG coral. It seems to be a perfect blend of pink coral & orange coral, to make a lipstick that is coral perfection. Of course it lasts for hours, it is NARS !! I never get fading, bleeding or feathering, just lots of compliments ;p I've never had a problem with nars lippies being dry, the formula is perfect. Of course I will buy again, it's my fave. continued >>

Beautiful lipstick - had to visit three stores once I spotted this as it was sold out everywhere. Niagara is a lovely, matte coral pink - no shimmer. It is also not milky but is instead somewhat sheer on me - I like it best blotted as it makes my lips look soft and pillowy. My one concern is that it is drying, a problem for me with NARS lipsticks.
NARS makeup is a new indulgence for me, and should prove to be a pleasurable (but expensive) one!

This is one of my favourite lipsticks. It is a peachy coral pink type colour that manages to still look natural even though it has a touch of brightness. I have heaps of lipsticks, but very often I find myself reaching for this one.
If it helps. I have light nuetral tones and black hair. I often wear cool toned shades and while this is warm it is not too warm, and looks great teamed with some peachy blush.
The formula is satin like, not matt and not too sheer. I think this shade would suit just about everyone.

I was prowling the aisles of my local Sephora when this gorgeous corally-pink caught my eye. Now, normally, I'm a level-headed, lipgloss-loving girl, but I fell for Niagara and I fell hard. I would've flipped at the price tag but by the time I reached the cash register my mind was enveloped in a blissful stupor.

This lipstick is every inch as fantastic as I had imagined. For (pale brunette) me, it’s definitely HG status. I love the smooth texture and matte finish, which is something I can’t say about most lipsticks. The versatility of the color is great, too- I can lightly blot it on for a MLBB look, or build it up for a bolder lip. It's such a flirty and fun coral pink that makes me think of springtime. Usually, I wear Niagara with just a little lip balm and liner underneath, or sometimes with the teeniest bit of gloss in the middle of my bottom lip.

A word of warning: apply Niagara with a heavy hand and you will suffer the consequences. As I believe someone said before, very "Palm Springs retiree." continued >>

Niagara is a very pretty coral pink that works on my golden complexion. It is bright, but not intimidatingly so. My only complaint is how drying this formula is. I always have to apply this over a lot of lip balm.

This is a sweet coral pink lipstick that flatters my light olive complexion and seems to bring out warmth in my face and when paired with a peachy pink blush the result is very nice!! I like the fact that it hasn't got any shimmer in it as lord knows I have enough shimmery/frosty lipsticks already. My ONLY gripe is I find I need to use a light hand with this as if applied too heavily it can look a little too bright and garish. I like to blot this on my lips and then tap a tiny amount of clear gloss or balm over the top.

I am obsessed with the way this feels on my lips! Nars lippies are the best on the market...the sheer line is a dud as it is so drying, and this satin lipstick restored my faith after a disater with Belle De Jour. It feels like silk on my lips, lasts for a good amount of time, doesn't cake, flake, or change color on me. Best of all I don't get the white mucky line on my lips as some sticks leave. The satin lipsticks feel like no other lipstick, soft, creamy, yet light. Niagara is a true coral pink, it is a 50/50 blend of coral and straight up pink, with no shimmer. In the tube it looks more orange, but when applied it is exactly what the website states, coral pink. I just love this shade! I pair it with cheapie lipliner legend Jordana in Spice. With the liner it looks a tad more muted and pulled together, something that can be worn no matter what season. When dabbed on with some gloss atop it is perfect for summer...love, love, love this shade! Depending on what blush I wear I can make it look more peach or more pink. I will definitley re-buy this one as it is in the top 5 HG collection. Note: I am ppp, with cool undertones, blonde hair/blue eyes ;)

When I love a NARS product, it's HG, but for some reason if it doesn't click as HG it's usually a bomb. This is a bomb. It wears off quickly and the color is just unattractive on this PPP brunette. I'll stick to NARS reds.

This is a nice staple coral-pink lipstick that can complement both day or evening looks. I would wear it with MAC's lip pencils in Chicory or Cedar, with just a touch of clear gloss in the center for a finished look. Worth every cent, and it makes me think of something that Marilyn Monroe herself would wear. After all, it was named after a movie she starred in!

Nars is now my HG for lipstick! I have Red Lizard and now I have Niagara. I love this on my light olive, very warm toned skin. It makes my face pop with brightness! I've been looking for a pink lipstick that isn't too cool for me and this is it. I also tried the Dolce Vita but that was the exact colour of my lips, so why bother? But the Niagara, paired with Cargo's Tonga blush, gives me a perfect fresh-faced, summer glow. Soooooooo pretty!
