NARS Powermatte Lipstick - Red

This lipstick features a modern, opaque matte finish, designed for a high-impact, non-shiny look.

While individual wear time varies, the Powermatte formula is designed for extended wear. Expect several hours of vibrant color, though eating and drinking may necessitate touch-ups.

Yes, 'Feel My Fire' is described as a deep, true red, offering a classic and bold red lip.

Yes, it is highly recommended to apply a thin layer of lip balm to moisturize and prep your lips, especially with matte formulas. Blot any excess balm before applying the lipstick.

For effective removal, use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated bi-phase lip makeup remover. Gently press a cotton pad soaked in remover onto your lips for a few seconds before wiping away.

While the Powermatte formula is designed for long wear and minimal transfer, it is not entirely transfer-proof, particularly immediately after application or during activities like eating. Blotting can help reduce transfer.

Ensure your lips are properly exfoliated and moisturized before application. Dry patches can cause uneven color. Apply in thin, even layers.

Use a lip liner to create a barrier around the lip edge before applying lipstick. A small amount of concealer around the lip line can also help.

Thoroughly moisturize your lips with a hydrating lip balm before applying the lipstick. Allow the balm to absorb, then blot any excess before proceeding with lipstick.

After the first layer, gently blot your lips with a tissue, then apply a second thin layer. This can help set the color and reduce transfer. Avoid excessive rubbing or pressure on your lips.

Handle the lipstick gently and avoid twisting the bullet up too high during application. If it's loose, try gently pressing it back into the base. Store upright if possible.
