Guerlain Nahema (143) Rouge Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Nahema (143) Rouge Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Nahema (143) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant coral-pink with subtle gold shimmer and a natural shine. This is the type of shade that always seems to garner compliments, even though there are a fair amount of shades that can be found in the same family. Guerlain Chamade is redder. Guerlain Bal de Mai is a bit darker and less coral. MAC Watch Me Simmer is pinker and brighter. NYX Haute Melon is a bit lighter. MAC Hibiscus is more orange. Laura Mercier Tangerine is lighter and less pink. Chanel Phoenix is much pinker. Chanel Genial is similar but doesn’t have the shimmer. Korres #18 is pinker. MAC Fresh Salmon is more golden and sheerer.
Nahema yields opaque color coverage and has a creamy, glide-on consistency that feels comfortable to wear but not slippery. I tested this shade’s wear, and I was able to get five hours of wear. By the sixth hour, I felt like I needed a reapplication. One of my favorite characteristics of this formula is the luminous finish; it’s shiny without being overly glossy, and the shine lasts for at least half as long as the color itself does. For more packaging photos, please see this post.
Where to Buy: Nordstrom, $35
The Glossover
Rouge Automatique is a top-notch formula, because the creaminess of the texture enables it to glide on, making for an easy application, but it's lightweight and never slippery, so it stays on and wears for hours.

really want to try this. However here in Thailand, it's around 47 US$ more expensive than Chanel.
Wow, this is gorgeous! I just can't spend that much on a lippie though. Insane!
I bought this on-line (no Guerlain counter for miles around here :(), and initially thought it was too bright, but it goes on beautifully, and is my first choice lippie at the moment! Love the mechanism too!
Christine, You can really rock the bright colors! So pretty on you.
this one settles a bit but looks gorgeous from afar
There are two different colors on ur cheek,right?
Nice color, I think it wouldve been more up my alley if it were more opaque. Still a lovely color.
I love it! Im actually looking for the perfect peachy pink shade! and THIS.IS.IT! Thanks Christine!
Actually, I have this shade and it is more of a hot bright pinkish coral.
oh. I have to see it for myself in real. :))
Yayyyyyy!!!! You always swatch the lipsticks I'm debating on getting, then your review always makes me even more positive that I want it!!!! Thanks for awesome swatches and reviews<3
I really love this colour, it's so bright and fun! *Runs to the store*
This shade looks so pretty on you! How do you think it would look on someone with a very pale complexion? I'm always looking for a pretty coral-y pink color and can never find one that I can pull off with my paler than pale complexion. Love Guerlain Rouge Automatique lipsticks, one of my favorite formulas!
I think paler complexions could work it - but it will be brighter on you!
This is really pretty!
Ha! Cute cheek swatches, Christine :P I absolutely love this lipstick on you - it looks so very spring. I wish I could pull of corals half as well as you! ;o)
I have this but it doesn't show up as nice on my pigmented lips! still its a beautiful summer colour!
This along with Feur de Feu happen to be my Guerlain RA first purchases. I later bought Bal de Mai. But I love all three - but I use them very rarely , since I live in India and can't repurchase :(.
Hi Christine..:) Maybe you meant to say MAC Watch me Simmer? Anyway this is beautiful!:)
Um, is it just me or did you stop having the "Love it, Leave it" buttons? Just curious. :) I haven't seen them in a while, but maybe I just missed something. >_> The color looks really good on you, btw! ^_^
We had to temporarily disable it, because it was slowing down the site - we're trying to build it from scratch again, so it's taking awhile!
This color looks so good on you! I feel like I say that all the time haha...How lucky you are that EVERY lip color suits you! Gorgeous x
Hi, love your blog. You mean that it's similar to "Watch me Simmer," not "Quick Simmer" right? Thanks for all the helpful posts. Love this color on you.
The shade looks fresh and summery!
I saw this one in Sephora and I was so tempted - now seeing it on you, I want it even more. This is such a beautiful color!
I NEED THIS NOW! Nooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww
Uh? Could it be you have blush only on one cheek? :D
I was testing two different colors - sorry!
Ahah... Nevermind! ;)
Ah, so that's what seemed disjointed about the picture :P
Looks fantastic on you, Christine! How does it compare to MAC Flamingo? (I wanted Flamingo, but it was sold out everywhere, so this one could be an alternative).
Flamingo is pinker and lighter - more muted!
Thank you for the review! The color looks great on you! Can you tell me, how it compares to Chanel Rouge Coco Chalys?
I remember Chalys being less bright!
