    Love. Have repurchase a few times already and am adding a review now bc I think this shade and formula needs to be rediscovered. On me (NW20/fair/brown hair/eyes) this is a semi-sheer coppery/warm...

    I went through 3 tubes of this, my best lip color ever, and gave it to friends as a univerally flattering sheer brownish red, but about a year ago they CHANGED THE FORMULA! Sadly, it is an entirely...

    My favorite new red! I used to wear Gypsy, but then decided it was too berry for my light olive complexion, so I found this. Mindgame is my perfect neutral for day, and Tanganyka is my perfect...

    As usual I purchased this on a trip to Sephora in Seattle on a whim. I'd been in a bit of a lipstick rut because every colour I brought home was too berry. The lighting at Sephora made the colour...

    I wear this almost always! It has a great texture, very balm-like. The color is not too red or brown. It looks very natural, kind of like my natural lip color, but more intense. The finish is...

    I was hoping this lipstick might be a dupe for my HG Clinique Different Lipstick in Black Lily (d/ced). It's a similar color to that - sheer, reddish brown, but on me didn't have the slight hint...

    Tanganyka is a sheer plum with just a little too much brown for my taste. I also prefer NARS regular line of lipsticks, as I find their sheers to be too sheer and not very long-lasting.

    I love this lipstick! The quality is great, it feels like a lipbalm! The color(on me at least) is a reddish-plum. I pair it with Clinique Chili lipliner and it is just divine!!!!

    This is a beautiful sheer plum color on me (NW20). The color, at its full intensity, doesn't stay on very long; however, even when it faded, I felt like I had a plummy stain on. I've never been...

    Lovely, sheer cinnamon brown color. Very moisturizing yet lasting color. Could be HG material for me!

    On my highly-pigmented lips this looked like a YLLB color. It's a very sheer brownish color that really adds drama and moisture to lips (it's not drying like the other formulations of NARS)...

    Loved the color, formula, and the way it made me look polished but not overly made up. Against my NC43 skin, though, the color wasn't really noticeable enough to justify the price.

    This looks like a deep brick red in the tube, but it's an illusion. This sheer formulation goes on as a YLBB medium plummy brown. I don't wear lipstick as a rule because it tends to look...

    Beautiful. A sheer plummy brown with lots of shine. I agree with the reviewer below in her comparison with Clinique Black Honey. The formula of the NARS version is much nicer though.

    I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK!! It's looks horribly dark in the package, but once you slid it on you'll see it's a perfect berry gloss more then then a lipstick. It works on my dark hispanic complexcion...

    I don't think I'll ever be without this lipstick. On me, Tanganyka is the perfect "go with anything" shade. It's a sheer reddish-brown with just a touch of purplish undertone. I'm very fair-skinned...

    I don't know, I'm kind of on the fence about this lippie. Tanganyka is indeed a sheer plum and while it's nice and creamy, I find it really doesn't do that much for the color of my lips...
