    I always wanted to wear a hot pink lip but most of them are too neon or blue toned and completely drain me. I've used sheer ones too but then they aren't really HOT. I bought this because I...

    Carthage is neon fuchsia shade on my lips. Very pretty! This baby lasts on my lips for hours, even after heavy meal. Well it fade a lil bit but fade evenly and leave a nice stain. I'll give 4...

    Gorgeous shade but after my first application of it I saw that in order to have this shade remain true on my strongly pigmented lips I'll need to apply a nude color to them before Carthage. It...

    The only reason I bought this is because I saw it on Emma Stone and I loved this shade on her. I'm so glad I did. This is one of my go-to pink lipsticks. The color is amazing. The color coverage is...

    After a weird, unpleasant, recent experience with long wear lipsticks (strange texture, metallic after taste, etc), tried this and I LOVE IT. First of all, if you are craving a bright, happy,...

    This was my first NARS lipstick and I'm really pleased. As many have described, Carthage is an electric pink colour, and while that may sound garish or over the top, it's not! The colour...

    I was looking for a bright pink matte lipstick for spring. I wear Russian Red in the winter, but MAC doesn't have any bright matte pinks. So, on a trip to Sephora, I found Carthage. It is...

    This is surprisingly wearable - I wore it regularly all summer. It's a bit dry, but not too bad.

    Carthage is a striking hot pink shade with a tiny touch of a fuchsia tone. The formula is matte and very long lasting. As a point of reference it's less fuchsia than Schiap and more matte than...

    Excellent color & formula. The formula is matte, lightweight, and very long lasting. It's a touch drying and it stains the lips, but it looks amazing on. The color is a bright fuchsia pink, but it...

    I was so ready to love this lipstick. I love hot pink and I'm pretty daring with lipstick shades. Also, this was the first NARS product I've tried. However, compared to other matte lipsticks...

    This is a beautiful bright but wearable hot pink lipstick. It's not nearly as neon as Schiap, and you can sheer it out with a lip brush. Good for those who want to experiment with color. Because...

    It's a fun super-bright pink, but doesn't go on as smoothly or evenly as the NARS velvet matte pencils. Definitely exfoliate beforehand! It's slightly less opaque than most other matte lipsticks,...

    I'm surprised this is not that of a popular lipstick. I love this lipstick so much. I will confess that I do not own many NARS lipsticks as there aren't a ton of colors-especially for the...

    Carthage isn't as shockingly eye-popping on you as Schiap lipstick is even though it looks like it in the tube. Carthage is like a matte, thin, lightweight, ever-so-slightly sheerer version of...
