I didn't realize I had this many red lipsticks in my collection. This is a serious addiction and must be stopped. Help me. Someone help me. The worst part is that I don't even wear lipsticks on a daily basis, let alone to a special event or occasion. Something about red makes me weak in the knees when I see it on others, but for me it's too much maintenance and upkeep for every day. A girl's gotta eat, and red lipstick smeared everywhere after a meal is always gross.
For swatches, please keep scrolling. Swatches are on clean skin that's around NC25-30 (very similar to my face, but obviously not my lips.) I couldn't do lip swatches because my lips are very sensitive and just removing lip makeup can make it dry out very badly. Photos were taken on an overcast day either indoors or under "sunlight."
Please keep in mind that the swatch orders are reversed. I start swatching from the wrist down.

Great post! This made me seriously lem Nars Shanghai Express...I love the vampyness of it!
It's the perfect red for the fall/winter without looking too scary or bright imo :)
