This color is stunning. I like to really blot it out to a stain for everyday wear, but you can absolutely use a liner and wear it full opaque for a more dramatic look. Something about the undertone...

Scarlet Empress is a cool berry toned lipstick. It applied easily to the lips with a satin-like consistency. It tends to pull more blue-based on my complexion, than in the tube, which I found to be...

This red is the most flattering amazing colour. I have freckles and dramatic lipstick isn't something that really works with my skintone, but this colour is magical. Apart from the shade, it's...

I love this color and am so happy to have found Scarlet Empress after hunting for a vampy deep berry lipstick for so long. Before Scarlet Empress, I tried NARS Damned (matte velvet lip pencil),...

My mom purchased this lipstick for me as a Christmas gift. I was looking for a red that would look more of a deep berry color and tried this one on at Sephora and it was perfect. This is my first...

This is a fantastic and vampy lipstick. Goes on smoothly, wears fairly long, and is the perfect final touch for a night-time look. No complaints.

I'll begin with the price. Nars lipsticks are on the pricey side but yet I always buy them because of the quality. Now... on to the important stuff... This color is almost a near replica of...

Beautiful blue-toned raspberry colour, perfect for autumn. I think it's very similar to MAC Rebel. I love it, very luxurious, not drying at all. Try it!

To me this isn't red at all, it's a dark pink/purple color, but to each their own I guess. In dim lighting if you apply it heavily it does look sort of red. I have the exact coloring that someone...

At first, I didn't like the way this looked on my pale NC 20 face, then summer came around (NC 25ish) and it led to a crazy romance... It's a blue-based raspberry on me, but on my best friend it's...

NARS is an expensive habit, but these products are luxurious. This is a semi-matte dark red that looks fabulous on me! You must have it.

Whooo boy, is this the one! I tried resisting it for a year, but finally succumbed and dished the 24$. WORTH IT!! Purely matte without drying, and just a perfect color. I wouldn't call it red, it's...

This is a BEAUTIFUL colour! Granted, I have never worn it full force. I like to dab it onto my ring finger, then onto my lips, blot with a tissue, dab again and blot one more time. It leaves a...

This lipstick is AMAZING. It's super pigmented but it doesn't give you an over the top "you just got punched in the lip" look. I've been searching for a long time for a perfect deep dark red for my...

The colour of this lipstick is beautiful! It's a deep blackened burgundy, that I find very buildable, and I prefer the deeper colour. It does tend to pick up any dryness on the lips and dye them...

I love the color of this product. Scarlet Empress is a very pouty and sultry color. The texture is pretty matte but it does not dry my lips which is a plus. The packaging of most Nars products are...

Scarlet Empress is a beautiful deep, cold berry with a bit of a hot pink undertone. I find the texture to be a little too creamy and satiny to be considered matte. It's very, very buildable, and...

I wouldn't call this a red, it's a dark plummy berry (ie. scarlet!) a gorgeous, vampy shade that lasts and lasts. I love red lips and deep lips and this is one of my favorites, it makes me...
