Guerlain Nahema has been on my wishlist since I first saw a swatch. It’s a gorgeous coral – my favorite – and I’ve heard only excellent things about Guerlain’s Rouge Automatique lipstick formula. The only reason I hesitated so long to buy it was the price; $35 is steep for a single lipstick, at least for me. After owning it for a while, and wearing it several times, I’m glad I splurged for it!
Nahmea is a lovely pink-coral with a glossy sheen. True to what I’ve heard, the formula is excellent – very comfortable to wear, yet long lasting. I find that it’s glossy at first, then it sort of transforms into a more muted sheen, which is also very lovely.
I also discovered that I already own a very similar shade – albeit one with a really terrible formula. Here’s a comparison, with Guerlain Nahema on the left, and NYX Femme on the right. Femme – which, if you recall, has a really slippery, uncomfortable formula – is like a more saturated version of Nahema. It’s a good option for a dupe for Nahema if you don’t mind the texture of Femme (and for $4, I’m sure some won’t!). Read my full review of Femme here.

And, finally, here’s a quick look I did to feature Nahema. Sorry about the deadpan stare, it was the best of a bunch of terrible pictures! I’m not really pleased with most of my makeup so I won’t list it, but I think Nahema looks great 🙂
I bought Nahema at at Sephora store, and it’s also available at Sephora.com.
