    Amazing reddish-pink shade for my pale skin and dark hair. Sadly, it doesn't last long on me and feels too dry. After a while, my lips look older and parched. I usually swipe the gloss instead and...

    Love this color on my NC 44 skin type. Have got so many compliments on this lipstick. I think this will be my new purse lipstick.

    I generally stay away from any bright lipstick, usually sticking with sheer berrys, plums, and pinks. I was wary of this at first but got it anyway, and am really glad I did. On my NC 25 skin with...

    My first Nars l/s, but not my last! First off, the texture of these lippies is really nice-not nearly as drying as those from MAC and others. I'm usually more of a neutral l/s gal, but didn't...

    Hmmm...Afghan RED? Really? I don't see much red in this lipstick. But it is an amazing color :) Afghan Red is a plummy wine with a satin finish. It isn't so dark that it's vampy, but it isn't so...

    I have to thank the testimony of our great fellow MUA'ers for convincing me I needed to try this colour. Zounds what one is missing by NOT trying "Afghan Red" on and, if needed (as I did), even...

    Wonderful lipstick with a very creamy texture which is long lasting. Afghan Red is such a beautiful shade and works beautifully with just about any make up look. The actual color of the lipstick...

    I'm from Afghanistan so when I saw this lipstick at Sephora I had to buy it. It's the same shade as my rug :). I love this color. It looks great on olive skin.

    While I love the formula of most NARS products, their lip sticks/glosses/pencils/etc usually leave something to be desired. I have several of their lipsticks and the only one I use frequently is...

    In the store this shade seemed the perfect color for fall and for me, but when I got it home I found it just too dark and too drying on my lips. I like to way it feels going on but after awhile it...

    The best word i can use to describe this lipstick is 'juicy!' A medium purple red, like a berry garnet! The formula is smooth and so long lasting, i apply a coat with a brush and then one straight...

    So I was trying to find a dark plum/wine lipstick and so I went looking for Captiva at Sephora due to the recommendations I got from here. I also liked the way the color looked on the website. ...

    Stunning colour, very creamy texture, lasts forever. I have now have 5 Nars lipsticks in my collection, and Afghan Red (along with Captive) is my favourite. It is a cool-toned burgundy, I think...

    Excellent lipstick. My first NARS purchase. Beautiful red- not bright, more of a dark YLBB. Many reds look great in the tube and on my hand, then turn a horrid fuschia on my lips. Not this one....

    One of my favorite NARS lipsticks, this is a beautiful blue-based wine red that looks gorgeous on most skin types. This is also a great choice for those who typically avoid reds because they turn...

    This is a great shade. I have a lighter skintone (MAC NW15-20 with dark hair) and I find this very flattering, but I do find I wear it more in the fall and winter months. On me it's more of a...
