FAQs
Is the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment truly non-drying?
Yes, it is specifically formulated with a soft, lightweight texture designed to be non-drying, offering comfortable wear often associated with more hydrating lip products, despite its matte finish.
How long does the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment typically last?
The product is designed for long-lasting wear, offering infinite saturation that stays put for extended periods. Actual duration can vary based on activities like eating and drinking, but it's known for its impressive longevity.
Can I use a lip liner with this product?
Absolutely! Using a lip liner in a matching or slightly darker shade can enhance precision, create a more defined look, and help prevent the liquid pigment from feathering, especially around the edges.
What is the best way to remove this long-lasting lip pigment?
Due to its potent formula, an oil-based makeup remover, balm cleanser, or micellar water formulated for waterproof makeup is recommended for effective and gentle removal.
How much product should I apply for the best color payoff?
The NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment is highly pigmented. One single, even swipe across the lips is typically enough to achieve maximum color impact and full opacity. Avoid over-applying for a comfortable feel.
Will the 'Slow Ride' brown shade suit my skin tone?
The 'Slow Ride' is a versatile brown shade, often described as a warm, rosy brown or a dusty rose brown. Brown shades generally complement a wide range of skin tones, but its specific undertones make it particularly flattering for many, from fair to deep complexions.
Troubleshooting
Lip pigment appears patchy or uneven after application.
Ensure your lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. Apply a thin, even layer, starting from the center and spreading outwards. Avoid applying multiple thick layers.
The color feels drying on my lips after some time.
While formulated to be non-drying, some individuals may still experience dryness. Try applying a very light, non-greasy lip balm or primer a few minutes before the lip pigment, blotting off any excess. You can also reapply a thin layer after several hours if needed.
The lip pigment is not lasting as long as expected.
Make sure to apply the product to clean, dry lips, free of any oily residues. Allow it sufficient time (1-2 minutes) to fully set and dry down to its matte finish before eating or drinking. Avoid rubbing your lips together excessively.
Difficulty achieving a precise lip line.
Use a steady hand and leverage the pointed tip of the applicator to outline your lips first. For extra precision, you can use a lip liner in a matching shade beforehand, or clean up any smudges with a small brush dipped in concealer after application.
The color transfers easily.
Ensure the product has completely dried and set after application. Avoid blotting your lips forcefully immediately after applying. If transfer persists, a light dusting of translucent powder over a tissue placed on the lips can sometimes help set it further.
