    My own personal favorite red in the NARS collection, this red is slightly darker and more brown than Red Lizard but not near as brown as Cabaret. I find this to be a great expression of "oriental...

    a stunning, highly pigmented blood red (deep true red with brown undertones) but hell to wear for extended periods--one of the most DRYING lipsticks I've ever worn. I spent a full day with this on...

    *Perfect* semi-matte red lipstick for those of us with yellow toned skin. It's definitely a red, but it's got enough brown tones mixed into it that it works for warmer toned girls. I'd still...

    wonderful. nars lipsticks look similar to how it is in the tube and dont change into weird orangy or brown colors. very wearable red, but beware that it is a little on the darker dramatic side...

    Asian women all across MUA world: This is a five-star red lipstick! Finally, finally, I holler! It has just enough brick/brown in it to mix well with yellow-toned/tan skin. The only drawback: It...

    Woo hoo! I love red lipsticks like this, ya know that are a little bit different than the "true" red. I agree with May, it's a beautiful vivid blood red.

    Shanghai is a deep red, but is too strong for me. It's like trans siberian but redder. I can only pull this off if I'm going for a specific look. Other than that it's not something I can wear...

    Beautiful shade of red with brown undertones on my pale, kinda golden Asian skin. The only drawback is that it is a little drying. I usually apply some lipgloss over it.

    I'm new to NARS and was blown away by all the beautiful, wearable reds. So dramatic but not in the least theatrical. It was hard to choose, but I decided I couldn't go wrong with Shanghai Express...

    Brilliant! My HG for dark true red! Doesn't turn fushia. Rich color and so sexy! Looks great on PPPs.

    Not good on me ... turns a bright fuschia pink on my lips. Also, the shade just doesn't flatter my warm PPP coloring. However, I can see it might look real good on a darker skinned brunette.

    As another reviewer said: the perfect 1940s glamour girl lipstick. A bright--yet not unwearably so--red. Does not go fuchsia on my PPP skin as many bright reds tend to do. Nice creamy texture.

    as the other reviews say, this is a great red shade. It is my favorite of the NARS reds, and I think I have owned them all at some point. People ask what this is when I wear it, which for me, is...

    Shanghai Express is a must for any Hollywood siren, or wannabe-flapper. A true deep blood-red, it's sultry and glamorous without being unwearable. I love it with clean, porcelain skin and liquid...
