Nars The Multiple - Multi-Use Makeup Stick - Swing

The reimagined formula offers enhanced performance, longer wear (up to 16 hours), and an even more transformative cream-to-powder texture that provides a soft-focus, blurring finish while still being multi-purpose and easy to apply.

'Swing' is a vibrant shade designed to be versatile. While it can be adapted to many skin tones, its effect will vary. On lighter skin tones, it might appear more prominent; on deeper tones, it can offer a subtle pop of color. We recommend testing to see how it complements your individual complexion.

Yes, its cream-to-powder finish can work well on oily skin by setting to a non-greasy, soft-focus matte. For best results, ensure your skin is prepped with an oil-controlling primer and consider lightly setting with powder in areas prone to excess oil.

No, the formula is designed to be weightless and comfortable. It glides on smoothly and transforms into a soft powder finish, avoiding any heavy or sticky sensation typically associated with some cream products.

While 'Swing' is a color shade, The Multiple line also includes shades designed for contouring, highlighting, and bronzing. 'Swing' can be used to add dimension through color, but for traditional sculpting or brightening, you might explore other shades in The Multiple range, such as Copacabana for highlighting.

To clean the surface of the stick, gently wipe away any residue with a clean tissue. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers directly on the product. Always keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.

A 'soft-focus finish' refers to a makeup effect that blurs the appearance of imperfections, fine lines, and pores, creating a smoother, more even-toned look. The cream-to-powder texture of The Multiple helps achieve this by diffusing light.

The Multiple offers buildable coverage. For a more intense payoff, apply an additional layer or two. You can also try applying directly from the stick for maximum color deposit, then blending.

Ensure your skin is prepped with moisturizer or primer. If applying over foundation, ensure it's fully set. For easier blending, warm the product slightly on the back of your hand before applying, then blend quickly with fingertips or a synthetic brush while it's still creamy.

To enhance longevity, ensure your skin is clean and prepped before application. For oily skin types, lightly powder the area beforehand. After applying and blending, you can lightly set the area with a translucent setting powder or a setting spray to lock the color in place for longer wear.

Although designed not to disturb, sometimes heavy application or dragging can cause issues. Try dabbing or tapping the product onto the skin rather than swiping. Blend with gentle patting motions using a sponge or fingertips instead of rubbing. Ensure your base makeup is completely dry and set before applying The Multiple.
