This was my first NARS purchase. Like many of you have said, this is a beautiful MLBB rose shade. I love the smooth texture and incredible shine. I think this gloss would flatter most women and go with almost anything!

This lip gloss is great for girls with pigmented lips. The color truly shows up on your lips and it's very smooth and creamy. I love how long lasting it is!

As much of a NARS fan as I am, I've always felt kinda "meh" about their lip products. I found their lipsticks went rancid or got really dry and icky quickly. And their lipgloss color range has always been boring to me...all very neutral, sometimes sheer, office safe kinda colors that all ended up looking the same on my fairly pigmented lips. Anyhow, I got this in a set of 3 mini glosses and now I'm smitten and NEED the full size once my mini runs out. The color enhances my natural lip color to a gorgeous healthy flush, without making my lips look too boldly red. It also has a gorgeous shimmer (not over the top though) to it which makes my lips look plush and full. As for the texture, these glosses are moisturizing, not sticky at all and give my lips a nice glossy yet natural, just licked sheen. I think I need more NARS glosses now!!!

HG lip gloss. I normally turn to MAC for my lippies, but this one caught my eye at Sephora and I haven't looked back! Its the ultimate pinky-brown MLBB for me. The texture is beautifully smooth and the wear is great for a gloss. I don't mind that it has no scent to it, and I like the feel of the packaging. There's not much I don't love about this gloss, actually!

overall , seems to be a nice graduation from sticky thick lipglosses ( i tried lancome juicy tubes...way too thick for me ) and a really nice color that compliments my dark lips!!
love love love

edit: i bought this last year and it's still going strong ! so i guess even though it's expensive for a gloss it won't run out so fast .. but i must confess i don't use it everyday .

NARS..is my fav .I started off with Fast ride lipstick and there has been no looking back.Although I love makeup,unfortunately I am not a pro at it :(
I am a NC 44 and I have found it difficult to get that right shade of lipstick which would make my complexion pop.However ,I must add that NARS has been a saviour.I truly recommend this shade of lipgloss.I also got Gothika and it looked really pretty too.

Beautiful mlbb colour, but my lips with slight shimmer. Not a particulary unique colour, but it's a pretty colour nonetheless.

This is gloss is nice. It isn't great but it is nice. It reminds alot of Sparks from Chanel which I already own. My lips are naturally pretty pink too so for me this isn't MLBB shade because it makes them pretty reddish. I do like it though. Honestly, I really perfer Pillow Talk to Risky Business. Pillow Talk is my HG. I would rebuy though because it is a nice shade.

My FAVORITE Nars lipgloss! I bought this with dolce vita lipgloss--which by the way is nothing like the lipstick. Risky business has a different texture than the 'cream' lipglosses... the ones without shimmer in them. It doesn't smell like plastic, and it glides on really easily without feeling sticky at all. It also adds a noticible hint of color on your lips without looking like you have makeup on. It is lovely, and I wish I went through it faster because I'd buy it again and again!!

Love this gloss! I have always shied away from lip products that have a neutral or brownish look in the package, and honestly if it weren't for the great reviews here, I would have passed this over. I'm so happy I tried it. It is a beautiful, sophisticated color, a lovely natural berry-ish neutral... not too pink, not too brown, not too purple... it is just perfect for my fair coloring. It gives my pale lips great color without being at all garish or drab. Thank you to all the previous reviewers for leading me to Risky Business.

This is my 3rd NARS Lip Gloss and I absolutely love the colour. It's a soft berry shade that's perfect for my skin tone (Stila 50 watts). This shade is more pigmented than other NARS Lip Glosses, which is great!

This is my first NARS lip gloss with color (my first Nars purchase was Triple X). This color looks great on my NC45 skin tone. It's a moderate berry that gives a great shine. The only downside is that it is a bit expensive for a lipgloss ($22).

My 1st Nars lipgloss. A beautiful berry color with slight shimmer. I think it has enough of a brown base in it that almost any skin tone could get by with it. I like the shine it gives on my lips, and it also gives good color pay off for a gloss. I think Nars is one of the only lipgloss brands that does is not sticky. I do not mind sticky or non sticky glosses. I do find that since it is not sticky, it does not last as long, but it does wear off evenly.

This is my first Nars gloss and I absolutely love it. The MA applied it to my lips with Marnie liner underneath and the combo is perfect. Very natural look and not sticky. HG quality.

After getting Tempest.. I HAD to get another lip gloss from NARS...so when i asked the MA to recommend me some nice everyday colors.. she brought out a few and when I saw the color from the tube and on the MA's hand..I was like nah.. dont' really like it.. and i saw a couple more... and she said..why not I try it on your lips.. so I was like yeah.. and i didn't know in which sequence she was putting on and when I looked at the mirror after she applied one of them..I was like WoooWW..i love this color.. which one is it..and she said..its Risky Business... That was it.. :)

I really love this color. This is the perfect MLBB rosey plummy shade with subtle shimmer. This color really brightens my face, the gloss feel very moisturizing. It also has no taste, a big plus for me. This will be a definately repurchase for me.

I've been using Nars blush for awhile, and I decided to try the gloss - I love the way Risky business looks on my lips - just a little color - I like to wear it with oasis blush - I often shop at Sephora, and this combination of risky business and oasis looks much better on me than the orgasm combo that they sell. It was an accidental combination for me and I am very happy with the way they go together - I had already been a big fan of oasis and had been looking for just the right lip gloss and after looking for some time I found it in risky business. They are both good fairly neutral colors - not too much blue tone also not too yellow orange it looks natural with just a hint of color.

This color is almost similar to L'Oreal CJ in Watermelon crush, but more pigmented & is a rather sophisticated rose+berry undertone with some shimmer. I think it would go great w/ smokey eyes or if I just want a slightly more coloration & shine of my pigmented lips. The applicaton is smooth & not sticky compared to the CJ tubes. It's $24, but will be one of my staple lipglosses.
