Troubleshooting
Lipstick appears patchy or uneven after application.
Ensure your lips are properly exfoliated and hydrated before applying. Dry patches or uneven texture on the lips can cause lipstick to apply inconsistently. Try applying in smooth, even strokes.
Lipstick feels dry or uncomfortable during wear.
While designed to be comfortable, matte lipsticks can still feel dry if your lips are not adequately moisturized. Apply a hydrating lip balm a few minutes before applying the lipstick, and blot off any excess balm before going in with the color.
Lipstick's longevity is less than 10 hours.
Certain activities like eating oily foods or excessive rubbing can diminish wear time. Try to avoid these as much as possible. Blotting your lips lightly after application can also help set the color. Reapply lightly only if necessary in areas of wear.
Lipstick transfers slightly despite being 'transfer-resistant'.
Transfer-resistant does not mean completely transfer-proof under all circumstances. Ensure the lipstick has fully set for a few minutes after application. Avoid pressing lips together immediately after applying, and blot once with a tissue to remove any excess product that might transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Lip Preparation For the smoothest application and best results with any matte lipstick, especially the Nars Powermatte, start with well-prepared lips. 1. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. You can use a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush. 2. Hydrate: Apply a light, non-oily lip balm. Allow it to absorb fully, then gently blot off any excess before applying the lipstick. ### Application 1. Glide On: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. 2. Define: Use the tip of the bullet to define your cupid's bow and the outer corners of your lips. 3. Lower Lip: Repeat the process on your lower lip, starting from the center and moving outwards. 4. Optional: For added precision, you can outline your lips with a matching lip liner before application. ### Compatibility This lipstick is compatible with most standard makeup routines. It pairs well with NARS's full range of lip care and complexion products. ### Care & Storage - Cap Tightly: Always ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the lipstick from drying out or getting damaged. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and longevity. - Cleaning: If the lipstick bullet becomes smudged, gently wipe with a clean tissue. Avoid getting water or other liquids directly into the lipstick mechanism.
