one of my favorite lipgloss colors is bonus beat by mac which is long discontinued, and after purchasing this lipgloss i am totally in love. the formulation nof this lipgloss (of all nars lipglosses) to me is simply amazing. it feels very moisturizing, it's very pigmented and it's not sticky (i hatehatehate sticky lipglosses). it looks great over pink lipstick to tone them down to a peachy color but also looks great alone making the perfect nbude color to pair with a smokey eye.

This is my favorite nude lip gloss. It works well with my skin tone, and I also like to layer it with MAC Creme d'Nude if I really want a strong nude lip.

I also like the texture of this gloss. It is very shiny, but not very sticky. It's also a satin gloss, and doesn't have shimmer, which I think is rare for lip gloss these days.

However, I can't get over the taste. For some reason, all NARS lip products taste old and rancid to me. I'll keep wearing it because it's the best nude lip gloss I've found so far. A bit expensive, but I've found it at discount stores several times.

i wanted to love this and i feel like i say that a lot about my NARS products ((maybe i'm just too partial to mac)) but i dont like this one. the color is fine with my skin tone but it smells like plastic and its gritty not smooth. maybe i got a bad one but i just hate this gloss.

This is a beige-y nude gloss that completely washes me out and emphasizes the dark circles under my eyes. The shimmer makes my lips look like they're dry and flaky rather than having any redeeming qualities. The gloss itself is a tad too thick and "gloppy" and it smells like plastic. It is, unfortunately, one of the most unflattering glosses I've ever tried on. NC 30/35 Asian, naturally sallow bare-faced, pigmented lips (pink w/ slightly purple edges).

One of my favourite lipglosses....its a perfect nude color, not pink, not beige concealer colored, just a milky cream that washes away your lip color and gives a nice natural nude glossy look. I personally found that the gloss doesnt seem as goopy as some of my previous nars glosses, its actually a lot smoother and doesnt have hardly any stickiness. My older glosses are much thicker and harder to blend in. This is definitely one of the best nude colored lipglosses I've been able to find - the color is just opaque enough to get the job done without looking like its thick and paint-like. Will definitely buy again, even though it is a bit costly.

I HATE this product! I was very excited to try it because the color looked fabulous and the name was pretty cute too. However, this is not the color for me; I have medium skin tone and it just looks like a weird cream color. Also, the product is incredibly sticky--I will say it does have good staying power. I've have heard from many people that NARS lipglosses tend to develop a "plastic" smell over time as well. I can't comment on that because I ended up throwing my Striptease away after using it only a couple times.

I HATE this gloss! It looks and feels disgusting on me. The texture is gloppy, sticky and opaque. The color does not look nude on me, it looks like I'm putting concealer on my lips. I have 2 different Smashbox lip glosses that are nude but have a much better texture. To be fair, I've never had much luck with Nars glosses. I love the eyeshadows and blushes and will stick to those.

Ok. This is definately a love-it-or-hate-it item, but if it works for you, it's a fabulous gloss for a really nude mouth. Not a peachy nude, a matte brownish "Angelina" nude, or a pink nude; it's good for the glossy, really pale beige nude mouth the models always wore on the Gucci runway when Tom Ford worked there. Striptease is a pale beigey cream color with really soft golden shimmer that warms it up a bit. It's a little sheer, not completely opaque, so that keeps it modern and wearable- not dated like a 60s white lipstick ;) I didn't have any application problems with it. In fact, I found it to be very smooth! Is someone asleep at the NARS quality control department? Haha. I'm NC35-40 and like it. I didn't like MAC Wildly Lush (it went on too sheer and slightly pink for me) or C-Thru lipglosses (it looked like glue), but I like this. I wouldn't repurchase only because I don't do the nude mouth that often.

By far my most favorite nude lipgloss. it has that perfect blend of shine but also has a great nude pigmentation that's just right for my skin type (NC 20-25). It is a bit sticky but I actually prefer that believe it or not. The staying power is great considering it's a lipgloss. Only gripe is the price but that's expected with the NARS brand. This is something to try out if you are still hunting for the perfect nude gloss..I wear it every day!

I really wanted to love this lipgloss.. I swatched it only at the time and, it looked so promising. This is definitely much more pigmented nude than your average gloss, so in that respect it is great for pigmented lips. However, for me personally, the dough foot combined with the narrow opening prevents me from taking out as much product as I need, and particularly more difficult to blend an even coating of it. I think it's rather thick/sticky consistency contributes to that. Uneven blending can be a serious problem when you have pigmented lips that you're trying to nude out. Even these problems I would work out, but as much as I tried, I believe it might be ever so slightly too pale yellow toned for me (I'm nc 30'ish for ref). Also, I guess coming from mac, the price hike is too steep for how meh I feel bout this product overall - buxom babes are still my HG l/g and I can get those for cheaper.. but as of right now, i believe MAC's young thing is my best nude l/g..

I have this in Striptease and it is one of the best nude colored lipglosses I have used. It is shiny with a hint of that nude color without making your lips blend in with the rest of your face. I love to do a smokey eye and then use this with it. The result is fantastic!

My HG Nude Lip Gloss! I'm all about the nude mouth look and NARS Striptease is quite honestly the very best Nude Lip Gloss I've ever found. I wear it alone or over my favorite MAC lipsticks such as Myth or Creme d'Nude. It's simple, gorgeous and perfect for summer.

I loveeee this gloss. It has perfect pigmentation with slight shimmer, and it doesn't wash me out. I love using this on top of Pink Pout by Revlon for a nice pale pink lip. soooo pretty. I wish it was a bit more glossy though, and it's a little too sticky for my taste, but I still use it all the time for its perfect colour :D

Finally a nude I can wear! I have naturally highly pigmented lips, so most nude glosses look like nothing on me, and most nude lipsticks wash me out. I think this one works so well because it's sheer but more highly pigmented than most glosses. It's so sexy, and lasts longer than your average lip gloss. I took a point off for the high price, but I honestly don't mind paying - it's that beautiful.

I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THE STRIPTEASE. Absolutely my favorite lipgloss of all time! I love how it gives your lips a beautifully pigmented nude colour with the shinyness from gloss. No sparkle at all. Of course for the price the lipgloss is very high quality, it's not sticky but thick and long lasting. I have drying lips that flake and crack but I've had no trouble with this lippie. Definitely will keep on buying and buying and buying. LOVE IT.

My very first NARS L/G and I fell in love with it !
I don't wear this alone. I always apply it over MAC's L/S Hue. Both combined satisfies the gloss nude lip that I go for. Not too pink yet not too "dead nude". The gloss has an amazing stay on power and it's not gooey ! Great thing is that a little DOES go a long way so there is no need to go crazy when applying. I've had Striptease for over 5 mths now and there is plenty of product still left ! Will re-purchase again with no hesitation. ; )

This is uber sexy. I love love love nude lips & this one gives me such a glossy, spectacular nude- I will definitely buy again. One lippie off for the price & thickness of the gloss but other than that, quality/formula/consistency is definitely an A. If you don't want to shed $25 on this, try MAC's underage lipglass for $14. (I have both & they're quite similar).

I've been wearing more pale pink and nude colors on my lips lately and this is one of the best colors. Though this isn't my favorite it's a close second, my first is benefit her glossiness didn't hear it from me. The color lasts a long time and isn't too sticky like some lip glosses. I bought this in a set of five lip glosses and this is by far my favorite of the five colors.

Really nice color, really long lasting, not sticky...but really thick. Does not glide on nicely. Other than that, everything about it is great. However, it's pricey and not perfect, so I will not repurchase.
