    Perfect orange-red, good lasting power, fades evenly. Doesn’t dry out your lips. Does bleed a little if you don’t line carefully.

    A fiery red-orange matte that is incredibly flattering despite my muted coloring. Normally I can't pull off super bright lipsticks but this is one of the exceptions. It lasts hours and hours even...

    A perfect lipstick. Bright orange-red but perfectly balanced. Most of the original Nars lipsticks, especially the semi-mattes, are flawless. I have Heat Wave, Funny Face, Jungle Red, Niagara,...

    MUA Top Picks - you've done it again. This lipstick is incredible. In the tube, it looked a bit more orange/coral that I usually like, but I saw a blogger wearing it blotted lightly on her lips...

    This is probably my favourite red lipstick of all time, I literally panic whenever I can't find it. I would describe the colour as a punky red. It is bright and punchy, and it's definitely on the...

    OK, short of writing the same review - see my 'cut-n-paste' review below, which I had written for another colour 'Jungle Red'. I've now acquired 'Heat Wave' and dare I say that I really cannot...

    This is an incredibly flattering orange/fiery red color that I was surprised actually looked good on. It's true to the Nars semi-matte lipstick formula, goes on smooth and stays on relatively well....

    This was too orangey with my olive skin, but it is a beautiful matte color and looked great on my friend (which is why it still got 4 lippies).

    confession: I read that Jenna Lyons (J. Crew creative director) wears this shade. I would have never looked at it - it's way outside my usual comfort zone -and as I get older, I shy away from...

    This should have been the lipstick that started my obsession with NARS semi-matte lipsticks. It has so many raves in magazines and blogs! Unfortunately, this shade was always out of stock in my...

    My first orange-red lipstick. I stayed away from orangey reds for a long time as I feel like it makes my Asian skin extra yellow and drained. Heat Wave did not do that; in fact, it was quite the...

    If you like a white smile dont use it. This made my teeth look dreadful. I am dark eyed and olive skinned so its a so called perfect colour for me but i think it has TOO much orange in it. I bought...

    When it comes to orange-red lipstick, a cool-toned, pale girl like myself immediately balks. Anything with orange isn't our forte, after all. But if you do belong to the pink skin brigade, have no...
