Powermatte Lip Pigment

Comments about NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment:

I received American Woman as a sample and that little tiny sample went on perfectly and lasted all day. I'm very new to the makeup world, and I'm used to wearing chapstick or tinted balms. If this had been super drying and uncomfortable I wouldn't have been able to stand it, but it felt so lightweight and soft I'd forget I was wearing it! I loved the color and the formula so much I immediately went out and bought the full size. I can't wait to try out some other shades!

I have the color American woman. I'm in love with the color, formula, applicator and packaging!!!! I want more!

The American Woman shade is maybe the most gorgeous lip color I've ever seen, so I bought 2...
It feels and looks like a cross between liquid lipstick and a stain. The liquid itself is very thin but packs a huge punch with the color, and because the applicator has such a small tip it makes applying it perfectly to edges of your lips very easy. I straight up threw out half of my liquid lipsticks after I found this one.

I was really looking forward 2 bringing this home and using this all day with 1 "long wear" application....nope NOT the case. The color has a hint of orange I don't like and it doesn't go on very smoothly....but my worse complaint is that it comes right off and smudges. I love their lip pencils so i will be sticking with those instead.

I bought London Calling and Wild Night. Both went on a bit more watery than I expected, but I had no trouble applying them without patches or streaks. The formula's definitely not thick or clumpy, at least not for these 2 colors.

A single coat gave me fully opaque coverage. A second coat would've been overkill, especially for Wild Night. Both colors set within 30-40 seconds, giving me enough time to fix any mistakes. London Calling dried down to more of a matte finish than Wild Night did, but to me they both look more like semi-mattes, which is perfectly fine with me.

I've had Wild Night on for the last 4.5 hours and it feels pretty good. My lips don't feel dry (I applied this lipstick over lip balm) or very heavy, though I can feel that the lipstick's there. The color hasn't bleed/feathered, even though I didn't use a primer or liner. It also hasn't gotten very flaky or crumbly anywhere yet. Only in the last 30 minutes did it finally wear off along my waterline—and I've been drinking from a sports-cap water bottle all night. The color hasn't budged from anywhere else on my lips, with just VERY light transfer. (I've been kissing my hand every 30 minutes to check. I can't believe how well this stuff's stayed on my lips.) And it doesn't feel sticky at all.

I've used NARS velvet lip pencils before, but this is my first experience with their liquid lipsticks. So far, I'm very impressed! I wish there was a better color selection. I know NARS makes a blue lip pencil... wish they'd make a blue Powermatte lipstick.

This is such a good product. I wanted a lipstick that acted as a liquid lipstick that wasn't so drying. This is exactly what this does. It stays on all day and is moisturizing without looking like a normal lipstick. The color American Woman is my favorite shade. Highly recommend!

I LOVE this lippie!! But it soooo pricey! It's not super matte which I like because it doesn't dry out my lips like others will after wearing it all day and when I reapply it doesn't look blotchy or anything it always looks smooth. I love the wand also, it makes it super easy to apply.

Love love love this product. Great color and long lasting. Easy to apply and didn't dry out my lips.

I am taking it back. Extremely Drying! Very uncomfortable! Color was not true either.

I have tried every brand of lipstick, lip stains and lip gloss types. NOTHING compares to this Starwoman color red. It darkens a bit after it dries down and then it literally NEVER MOVED! Absolutely the best and not nearly as drying to my lips as so many other brands. Now, I did learn one thing that may help others that use this and want it to truly stay put and not smear. DONT put oils, chapsticks nor any primer on your lips prior to putting this on. I tried it one day with my normal lip primer on and then the Nars color moved and smeared. Use it on completely bare lips and then the only time it will need reapplying is if you eat oily types of food or drink hotter liquids. This stuff is AWESOME!!!
