beautiful classical red lipstick. Perfect with simple black eyeliner and black mascara. However, as mentioned with the other reviews, the smell is a VERY strong rose scent. However, the more I...

So many people rave about this lipstick...but on me it looked goopy and uneven and always smudged even with a lip liner. Lipstick looks different on everyone, but I've found that both NARS Scarlet...

Love love love this color. I like how I can pink it up or make it a little redder with liner. Perfect staying power. Fragrance is usual Chanel, but is ok. Would purchase again.

the color is like a red that has some pink glimmer to it but not to the point where you can see it on your lips when you apply it,which is a good thing! i think the reason for that is to not make...

I've searched high and low for a red lipstick to compliment my complexion (PPP) and this definitely fits- as others have noted, it's blue-based and therefore flattering to us lighter ladies. The...

Terrific blue-based red. Very classic/classy looking! There are the teeniest sparkles on the lipstick in the tube and they add a little something to the look when applied--they're NOT garish or...

This is absolutely beautiful - it's slightly cool toned but with enough golden shimmer so that it won't turn pink. One of my absolute favourites. :)

This is a sophisticated beautiful cool jewel-toned red.Deep but not heavy on your lips or too opaque,especially if you use a lip brush for application(which I do).Very 1930s/Jean Harlow.I love it.

A great red on the cool side, opaque and creamy. The formula for Chanel Hydrabase lipstick is unbeatably moisturizing, and it seems to last well. It seems to color the lips a little so as the...

I tested this in Myer the first day it was released - went fuschia on me. I'm an NC20, DPF #10 - it's just not for me. I think I need something with a more neutral base.

Its a gorgeous blue based red. Very cool toned, and a great eye popping colour.

This is the perfect red. Launched for the stellar Fall 2005 collection, this lipstick defines why Chanel is a mainstay when it comes to producing the best reds. Shanghai Red is a deep shade that...
