One of my HG lipsticks. Asia is a pink toned browny nude colour. I am fairly tanned with green eyes and I feel this colour makes my eyes stand out, it would suit anyone. The formula is lovely and creamy and lasts for ages. I have repurchased this about 4 times and couldn't be without it!

This is one of the sexiest lipsticks in the nudey pink shade that i own.

Its gorgeous on my NC37-42 skin. and Makes my lips look absolutely gorgeous.

The formula is creamy and glides on beautifully.

I think the color is great for all skin tones..i would advise my NW girls to try it on and wear it out and about in different lighting before purchasing.

I prefer this over Airy Fairy!
I would use a warm nude like nyx lip cream in london over it or even antwerp or san paulo

This is the first lipstick I bought, probably because the color fits perfectly - the lipstick has cold undertones, just like my skin does. It doesn't last too long, but I don't actually mind (especially considering the price and perfect color). I also absolutely LOVE the (cherry) smell, it's perfect.

Beautiful color but it was drying for me and actually accentuates the tiny lines on my lips so I don't think I can wear it on its own. I opt for putting some Avon 24K lipgloss in pink (not too sure if that's the full name) and it looks very lovely and airy. I can actually wear it with smokey eyes without looking as if someone drained the life out of me.
The colour is nice pinkish-brown mauve-ish mix that looks cool toned on me. I can't say it is a very complex colour, in fact, I find it one dimensional but I see it as something that will look good on variety of skintones. I don't think this is the most flattering colour for me but when I put the lipgloss it transforms into this beautiful warm-toned neutral pink with golden flecks that is what I have been looking for. I think I would have even worn it on its own if it wasn't so drying.
So I took a lippie and a half for the formula which makes it a pain for me to wear and another half for looking kind of dull on the lips (if you want a matte-looking lipstick, then ignore this).

I love the colour but not necessarily the smell of this lipstick. Personally it is just too strong.. it smells like cherry which I hate when it comes to cosmetics I absolutely can't stand it and often cherry fragranced is a big no no for me unfortunately :(
But the texture is great and it's easy to put on my lips and doesn't make my lines too visible :))

Love this lipstick, basically looks like a slightly darker/better version of my own lips. Like another reviewer, I find it doesn't last very long, but it's cheap enough for that not to matter really!

I might buy it I might not, it's a lovely mauve pink, but not too much pink.. naturally looks like a darker colour than my lip colour.. I would wear it for a darker lip colour.. there is a slight shimmer but not too much, I would keep it.

I can't believe I haven't written a review on this yet and I've been using if for years!

I am an NW20, basically neutral colour but pull of cool tones a bit better than warm. I have medium brown hair, blue grey eyes and soft colouring. I also have very pigmented lips so finding a 'nude' is impossible for me since my lips are naturally berry looking. This is a pinky brown that borders slightly cool and is opaque enough that it covers my natural lip color without looking fake. I hate sparkles or shimmer and this is a perfect 'creme' style lipstick.
Someone discribed this as Mac viva glam V minus the sparkles and they're right. A MAC girl sold that one to me onceand I shouldn't have bought it cus the sparkle felt gross and I looked silly (but yet it looks great on everyone else!).
Rimmels Asia last a good 5 hours on me before needing to reapply, and is the perfect amount of moisture. I always get complements on this when I wear it. I would buy this again for sure

Asia is a lovely mauvey rose. It is subtle and natural enough to be worn during the daytime and would be appropriate for office use. For me (cool-toned and pale with very pigmented warm-toned lips) this is ALMOST a MLBB lipstick- the depth of the colour is perfect but it is a tad too pink to look like my lips.

I have removed one lippy because the formula is very drying. The smell is divine, the lasting power isn't terrible and the packaging is nice.

I was looking for a MLBB shade, and this color is exactly what I hoped it would be! It's a mauvy rose with just a hint of shimmer.
However, I like my lipsticks completely scentless, so I'm really not a fan of the strong cheap bubblegum-ey scent here, and I think it lasts quite a while.
Overall, I love the color and texture, but I'm still looking for my perfect (scentless) MLBB lipstick.

a really gorgeous muted pink shade for everyday wear. it smells great as well! i just love this colour - it works with most lipglosses and you can combine it with other lipsticks or just wear it alone. so versatile!

Asia is a mauve/pink/brown lipstick that compliments most skin tones. On medium skin tones it serves as the perfect nude shade, adding just that touch of colour to lips for a natural look. For those who are fairer, the lipstick looks elegant- not too dark and not too bright. There is a touch of shimmer but not so much that your lips replicate Ke$ha's! Asia glides on very smoothly and the shape of the tip makes application very precise. I've been wearing this on a daily basis for a week and a half now and so far have gotten many compliments!

This is a good nude shade for medium-dark skintones. On my pale NC23 self, it looks too mauvey and brown. I need to add a lighter pink gloss on top to make it work. The scent is pleasant, albeit strong, and it has cute packaging for a drugstore product. However, I will not repurchase seeing that I need to make the color work for me and I normally don't have the time for this.

This lipstick has been described as a nude colour but for a fair to medium person, this is definitely not a pale nude colour: it is a brown berry red.

This colour is flattering on me (MAC NC20) but I think its a bit dark for summer. I prefer paler colours in the warmer months, so I'll probably save this for winter.

The texture is smooth but I don't like the smell of this product. It is quite a strong floral smell which gets a bit irritating after a while.

Rimmel is cheaper than other drug store brands such as Revlon and L'Oreal but I prefer these brands to Rimmel because I can tell there is a difference in the quality.

Would I buy this product again? Yes, only if I find a beautiful shade I can't resist.

Really great natural color for lips, it's the exact color of my lips, just a touch intensified - mauve leaning brown, finish is cream, no shimmers, price is very affordable and I use this one daily. The only thing I don't really like is that it's very drying on lips but since it's the color that suits me best out of many I've tried I will repurchase anyway

Perfect pink lipstick! I wear this to work most days. My only complaint is that it's not particularly long-lasting.

This has definitely become a staple lipstick for me - I love it!! It was 2 for $7 (Canadian) when I bought it, which I think is a pretty amazing price. I don't like "nude" lips, or at least, I don't like lipsticks that are too pale and wash me out. This is a gorgeous colour that I use as a neutral on a regular basis. It lasts well, it's flattering, and I can sheer it out easily so that my lips don't look overly brown. I don't know how this would look on other skin tones, but I think it would suit quite a lot of people who are much darker than me - especially because I usually try to make it look lighter.
I'm not a huge fan of the smell or taste of this product, but it's not overbearingly annoying. Something kind of funny that I discovered the other day though is that if you pair it with quite a yellowy brown lipgloss (I got one that came in a set that I didn't plan on using - but the packaging was awesome and cheap), then it totally looks like Viva Glam Gaga 2 - which I do not own yet, but have swatched and oggled over for some time. I thought that that was an interesting find, especially because I realized how much I can change the colour of the lipstick and alter it to my needs.

MLBB. Mauve but browned down. I first bought Airy Fairy but it was too light for my NC30. I can wear Asia with any outfit I'm wearing. I wish Rimmel would do something about the "expired" scent but it disappears after awhile.

Update: Had to finally trash it after a few weeks as I didn't find myself picking it up. It made me look blah. And the awful expired smell is still there. Maybe Rimmel's lipsticks sit on the store shelves too long before we (suckers) buy them. Changed rating from 4 (what was I thinking??) to 1 and from Will Buy Again to NOT.

As soon as I saw this colour in the store, I knew it would be a staple product, and I was right. Not too bold, not too plain. It's very versatile for everyday or for a night out if you decide to create a bold eye look. It's the perfect pink lipstick!
