The Summer Season: NARS Niagara Lipstick
NARS Niagara Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a smooth shade of lightly brightened coral-pink with a frost-gloss sheen. It’s not a fully glossy look, but it’s not quite frosty, either. Thus, frost-gloss sheen texture is born! The shade is quite pigmented, giving pretty much full, opaque color without having to layer heaps on. NARS Lipsticks are scent- and taste-free, though they have a little waxy scent to them (which is more of the “natural” scent, e.g. from the ingredients themselves, rather than infused with fragrance). It’s lighter and not as shimmery as MAC Crosswires, which runs a little more coral, and this one leans a little pinker.
Is this the right coral for you? Would you wear it?
The Summer Season is a series of posts featuring bright, vibrant shades of coral, orange, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for a summer of fun — that runs through July 2010.

Love this color!
I know I'm so late but I just bought this color. it is soooo beautiful. it looks good on you and it also looks good on me...nw40 in mac! I think Cadiz in Nars sheer glow. or maybe new guinea....loving nars so much i got belle de jour and schiap!
I'm paler and pinker than you, and bought it this past weekend -- my NEW FAVORITE summer color! SO pretty with everything! It's not sheer! Yea! A little bright on me, but not overwhelmingly so... And it FEELS so good on my lips! Smooth and soft, without being slippery. Hubby likes it too! :)
The best part? That your hubby likes it :D
One of my favorite lipstick shades! I either wear it alone, or I top it off with Prrr lipglass :)
my all time fave lipstick shade! a pink based coral; looks like rosy pink coral too. my everyday shade when going to work. In few swipes you can easily see the color. It's really a keeper! my other fave is the lancome l'absolu in voile de rose. a rosy medium pink shade.
it looks so yummy!
Reminds me a lot of MAC's L.E Red full stop! lipstick, love that l.s, so now I have an alternative, thanks
I love this lipstick! I NEEEEED THIS LIPSTICK IN MY COLLECTION!! I'm a lipstick girl 100%!!
Christine, this colour is amazing on your lips! Oh boy, you're enabling me..
Thanks, Samantha :)
oh my go this color looks beautiful on you!!1 love it
Thanks, Ilmy!
i tried this on the store but they didn't have it in stock! it looks more coral on me but its a really pretty colour
I love Niagra, I wear it a lot!
Woops I spelt it wrong I meant Niagara! :)
I'm so glad you post so many photos:) At first glance I wouldn't have thought this would suit me but I'm maybe a shade lighter than you in terms of skin tone and it looks SO GOOD on you. Very tempted to try this or a similar colour.
Thank you :)
this is very pretty but i have never noticed it at Nars before. I will have to be on the look out for this one. I really like the semi-gloss lipsticks from NARS, their texture and feel on my lips are great!
I've never been excited about a NARS product until now. That color is *gorgeous*!
Is this like Ever Hip at all? That's my HG color, I need a plan for when I run out! =)
Hmm, kind of! I think Ever Hip may be a bit more pigmented and brighter.
This is absolutely gorgeous! :)
Lovely! Do you prefer coral or pinkish hue for yourself?
Depends on the look I'm going for :)
beautiful!
This looks very similar to MAC's See Sheer, except that, this is a little pinkier and possibly more pigmented / opaque? Maybe it's just me lol
It's a good deal pinker - which makes a big difference, IMO! :)
This is just beautiful on you. It's going on my ever growing wish list!
Love this colour. Wish we got it here so I could test it on my own skin though.... I have a yellow undertone Christine. Very pale with a yellowish undertone. You think this shade will suit me?
I think so :)
I have Niagara and it's one of my favorites!!! I use it more often than my Crosswires (which I also love). Looks great on you :)
it looks similar to Mac Ever Hip
Oh my god, I'd LOVE to wear it!
