NARS Christina Lipstick

This lipstick was recommended to me by a friend - I saw her wearing it in a photo and needed to know what is was - she told me it was NARS Christina and I knew it was love at first sight.  NARS Christina and Chanel Venise are now my two signature lipstick shades!  I've discovered and have contemplated for a long time how many lipsticks a woman should own, why women keep buying lipstick after lipstick after lipstick etc and the benefit of knowing your true colours (having a colour analysis done)!  Finding your best lipstick fit is like going on a spiritual journey - you are on a path and its about 'finding yourself' and coming to terms with who you are while on that path - for me, its been a crazy journey, with a lot of money spent, but I now feel like I'm 'enjoying the journey' and have found a certain inner peace with the colour palette I've been wearing.  ANyhow, without further ado, here is NARS Christina lipstick:




I took these photos in the car with a lot of natural light - I started this look with my new favourite mineral fusion foundation in 'warm', NC 30 concealer by MAC, Melba blush (also MAC).  For my eyes, I used Elizabeth Arden Sparkling shadow as a base, MAC's Soba eyeshadow with COffee eyeliner and NARS Benagli smudged into the upper lashline and finished with a few coats of MAC's Zoom Lash mascara in Lofty Brown.  To complete the look fully, a swipe of NARS Christina Lipstick!!!

It seems like a nice shade of lipstick for you. I was wondering, have you had been draped by Christine Scaman yet?
