Lipstick

What it actually does

• Makes the colour look more vivid. NARS credits the pairing of passion fruit seed and moringa oils with boosting how vibrant the shade appears.
• Conditions while you wear it. The same oil blend is described as caring for the lips rather than just carrying pigment.
• Feels unusually light. The brand's claim is a radically lightweight wear and a feel it describes as unprecedented.
• Offers two finishes. The range covers satin and matte, so the same collection works for a softer sheen or a flat finish.
• Holds its colour. Wear is listed as long-lasting.
• Carries real heritage. These are the twelve shades NARS opened with — the brand calls this the collection that started everything.

How to use

1. Apply straight from the bullet for speed, or use the #30 Precision Lip Brush when you want control.
2. Line first for sharper edges and longer wear. Work the Precision Lip Liner inward from the outer corners of the mouth.
3. Fill the whole lip and blend with a brush or your fingertip.
4. Tidy the outline with Radiant Creamy Concealer along the border.
5. Lift the shape by dabbing a lighter concealer right onto the cupid's bow so the colour stands out more.

Questions

Is it matte or satin?

Both exist within the collection — the finishes listed are satin and matte, and which one you get depends on the shade you choose.

Will it dry out my lips?

NARS says the oil blend of passion fruit seed and moringa conditions the lips as part of the formula's job, alongside making the colour look more vibrant. There is no drying claim in the product information either way.

Do I need a lip liner with it?

Not required, but it is recommended. The brand's own instructions suggest lining with Precision Lip Liner first if you want a crisper outline and the colour to last longer.

How long does shipping take and how can I pay?

Delivery is 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Payment is by credit card, debit card, Instapay or mobile wallet; we do not accept cash on delivery.

Can I return it if the shade does not suit me?

Lipstick cannot be returned for change of mind. We accept defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery, with the refund issued to your original payment method within 15–30 days.
