Shot in my home studio, one AB800 camera right with octobox, one AB400 behind and to the left of the subject, with large reflector to the left and to the side of the model. Post processing was simple...levels, resize, sharpen.

As a whole, the photograph is very appealing. I like the expression and the mood is certainly intimate. My only criticisms, if I may, are: the overexposure on the right back of the model draws away the viewers attention and the two fingers of the left hand peeking up from the crop are distracting. As a side note, a red bra could have driven the message home a bit more.
Great concept for the challenge. The positioning of the lipstick is just a bit too staged and stiff. Despite the effectice furnishings, this is almost too noticeably done in a studio. Perhaps a tighter crop would have helped?
I would've liked to see a wider version of this shot. Here her top looks like a plain 'ol top, given the title & challenge theme I think lip that red should be paired with a not plain top. But with this crop, I cannot tell. Also would've liked to see some light on the right side of her face.
The image doesn't really imply intimacy to me. But your title at least hints that intimacy may soon be coming. I *do* like the lighting, the colors and composition.
