FAQs
Is the NARS Powermatte Lipstick truly transfer-resistant?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be transfer-resistant, setting to a comfortable matte finish that stays put for extended periods without smudging.
How long can I expect the lipstick to last?
This lipstick boasts a 10-hour wear time, providing long-lasting, bold color that remains vibrant throughout the day.
Does this matte lipstick feel drying?
The Power Pigment Complex includes emollient oils, contributing to a comfortable matte finish and a lightweight feel, aiming to minimize dryness. However, individual experiences may vary.
What is the best way to remove this long-wear lipstick?
For effective removal, use an oil-based or bi-phase makeup remover. Apply it to a cotton pad and gently press on your lips for a few seconds before wiping away.
Can I apply lip balm before using the Powermatte Lipstick?
While you can apply a very light, non-oily lip balm, make sure to blot any excess thoroughly before applying the lipstick to maintain its matte finish and transfer-resistant properties.
What is the 'Power Pigment Complex'?
The Power Pigment Complex is a dynamic blend of pure pigments suspended in rich, emollient oils and color-locking ingredients, designed to saturate lips with dense, vibrant color that glides on effortlessly and wears comfortably.
Is 'Night Moves - Purple' suitable for all skin tones?
Purple shades like 'Night Moves' can be striking and complement a wide range of skin tones. Deeper purples tend to be universally flattering, while lighter purples might pop more on certain complexions. It ultimately depends on personal preference and desired look.
Troubleshooting
Lipstick feels too dry on my lips.
Ensure your lips are well-hydrated before application. Apply a very thin, non-oily lip balm, blot thoroughly to remove excess, and then apply the lipstick.
Color appears uneven after application.
Gently exfoliate your lips to create a smooth surface. Apply the lipstick with a steady hand or use a lip brush for more precise and even coverage.
Lipstick does not last the full 10 hours.
Avoid consuming excessively oily foods, as oils can break down long-wear formulas. Ensure your lips are clean and completely dry before application for optimal adherence.
Difficult to remove completely.
Use a bi-phase or oil-based makeup remover specifically designed for long-wear or waterproof makeup. Apply to a cotton pad and hold gently over lips for a few seconds before wiping.
Color feathers or bleeds outside the lip line.
Pair the lipstick with a matching or clear lip liner to create a barrier and prevent feathering, especially with bold, dark shades like 'Night Moves - Purple'.

The NARS Powermatte Lipstick requires no complex setup. Ensure your lips are prepped by gently exfoliating and moisturizing if needed; blot any excess lip balm to maintain the lipstick's matte finish and transfer-resistant properties. It is compatible with most lip primers and liners, enhancing precision and wear. Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its formula. Always close the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out. For removal, an oil-based or bi-phase makeup remover is recommended for effectively dissolving the long-wear formula.
