I didn't really feel any major downsides, but when I use a matte lipstick in the winter, my lips tend to get unusually flaky, so I don't reach for it as much during that season.

The color is so beautiful. It's not a common color. It really suits the jungle theme. Compared to MAC's Bullet Lipstick, it's more moisturizing. The application is also good, it glides on smoothly.

세미 매트 립스틱 [정글레드]

The downside is that it doesn't have the same lasting power as a tint, though. Well...it's a lipstick, so I guess that's to be expected.

The color is so beautiful!! I have a 21 shade skin tone and I'm a warm-toned person who doesn't suit orange tones! This color is just like turning on a fluorescent light for me - it really makes a great point of focus.

The price is a bit on the higher side... I'd recommend trying the tester before purchasing, to make sure it's worth the cost.

This seems like a good introduction to red lipstick. It looks like an honest red at first glance, but it helps make your skin look brighter. Many people say they use it as a bold statement, but I find that applying it lightly over lip balm makes it suitable for everyday wear as well. The semi-matte formula is nicely hydrating when applied over lip balm.

Hmm.. honest reds are quite common at drugstores, so this isn't a particularly unique shade.
The color is incredibly pretty, but it's something you could easily find from other brands as well.
If you're specifically looking for an honest red from NARS, this would be the most suitable option, but if the brand doesn't matter, you don't necessarily have to get this one.
Apart from that, everything else was great!

I wasn't a big fan of the orangey-red shade, so I ended up purchasing this honest red color. 
The slightly darker shade than a pure red is beautiful!!
If you're just looking for a straightforward red, I would definitely recommend this.
The formula is semi-matte, with a bit of emphasis on dry patches.
Also, unlike the Audacious line, there's no magnet on the cap and the size is a bit smaller!
The smaller size makes it easy to fit in my pouch, which I really appreciate.

There's no such thing. I can confidently say it's absolutely the best.

This is truly a life-changing product for me.
While many have said that MAC's Ruby Woo is a must-have for them, it wasn't the case for me.

However, this product is an absolute perfect fit and the scent is also lovely.
I feel great every time I apply it. It may appear reddish at first glance, but when applied closely or on the lips, it has an orange-tinted red hue.

Pros: It doesn't accentuate flakiness,
      It brightens up the face,
      It keeps the lips moisturized

Recommendation: While I'm not sure about my exact skin tone, I believe I have a warm undertone and own a lot of autumn-colored clothes. The reddish-pink with a hint of purple also suits me well.

Apply lip balm and then put it on top.

It was too drying, so I had to apply lip balm and then put it on top. I usually love matte lipsticks, but this one has an especially crayon-like application, so if you apply it directly to the lips, the blending is really, really bad.

I'm writing a review with a heavy heart after losing the Jungle Red I've been using so far... Ah, it was a good lipstick. Before meeting Jungle Red, I had always thought that red, whether warm or cool, didn't suit me, so I only wore burgundy. When I first applied Jungle Red, I thought 'Oh no, it's too bright red' and just left it in my makeup drawer, but one day I wore it bare-faced and it turned out to look much better than I expected, so I started wearing it casually on a daily basis. (And then I lost it)
Jungle Red is not a cool-toned red at all, but a warm-toned red (bright red) that can be worn by cool-toned people without any issues.
I'm really surprised that this lipstick suits me so well, as warm-toned lipsticks usually don't look good on me.

But.. be careful with your teeth. You might suddenly find yourself turning into Dracula....

The color payoff is amazing!! The longevity is also super great, so if you apply it in the morning and afternoon, it stays on.

Applying a bit of lip balm before using it can help with the pigmentation.

The application is not great, and the biggest disappointment was the pigmentation. After using MAC Bullet, it's hard to adjust to this one...It's not an issue with the color, but it just doesn't seem to apply well! It might be good for those who like to apply lightly. But for regular red lipstick wearers, this is really neither here nor there. The price is not great for the small amount of product. I only used it because I didn't want it to go to waste.

The signature red tone of Nas. The color is clear and pretty.
Some people call it an orange-red, but I'd say it's more of a bright crimson? A clear, bright crimson hue.

The size is a bit small, and the case can get easily soiled. That's about the only downside.

This is a product I purchased after searching for a suitable red shade.
While overseas websites describe it as a product for yellow undertones, opinions on Korean websites are divided, and some bloggers have even labeled it as a cool-toned shade. It's a red with a slight pink undertone, but I would say it's a beautiful color that doesn't discriminate against tones.
Even though I'm a warm-toned person, I don't feel like it clashes with my skin at all and I use it frequently, especially because the vibrant red is so lively.
When layered, it pairs well with orange, dried rose, and pink tones - it's a truly gorgeous color.
The formula is not as creamy as a matte lipstick, but it applies cleanly without clumping. It also works well on dry lips.

The scent? It's a bit too raw-like, but still better than having fragrance added.

The Nars Manhunt is my holy grail product, and I've been using it daily. However, it wipes off too easily and the lasting power is not great, so I quickly grabbed a similar-looking one from the store.
As expected, it's quite similar - it has a matte finish like Manhunt, and the color is similar to Mac Ruby Woo, a bluish-toned red. If you apply it lightly, it becomes a pink-red.

*Oh, and as a side note, I wish I could write a review, but there aren't any available, so I couldn't.
Niagaras and Manhunt are both really pretty. Niagara is a cool-toned MLBB pink, so if you're a cool-toned person, you can use it as a base and apply a red lipstick on the inner part - it looks amazing.
Manhunt is quite well-known, often described as a 'water-logged pink-red' or 'watermelon' color, and that's completely accurate - it's the best.
I'm a cool-toned shade 13, and this is my second Manhunt.

Lip balm is a must before applying lipstick!
After applying it with a gradient, use a fine-grained HD powder like a translucent powder to mattify the lips. This will make the longevity last longer and create an even prettier lip look.

The amount seemed a bit lacking. As time goes on, there's a bit of clumping and sliding, so using a lip balm before applying the lipstick is always a must...ㅜ

The semi-matte finish of the Jungle Red was so nice.
It had a texture that was just the right amount of matte without being uncomfortable on the lips. And there was a hint of coral undertone, so I'd recommend it for warm-toned folks!
The color isn't an overly bold red, so it would look pretty if you gradient it as a daily item.
