Nars Lipstick

With the explosion of gloss, lipstick has become the red-headed stepchild of cosmetics. Yet, this product restores faith in the solid lip goo form. The luxurious, silky lipstick comes in three formulas: semi-matte, satin and my favorite, sheer. It feels light on lips and doesn't budge once it's on. The shades are nicely current and range from buttoned-up neutrals to sexy, shocking pinks and reds. They are highly pigmented so apply with a fingertip for more muted color.

    Dolce Vita

    by ClosetTherapist (25 reviews)
    If you read any fashion mag, you will have heard of this color. I succumbed to this color because it is practically brainwashed into your brain when you hear of it so many times. I used it up and it was a nice color, but it doesn't have good lasting power. It feels more like a chapstick. April 18, 2008, 8:09 am

    Not long lasting...

    I found that I had to reapply often, which is unfortunate because the colors are so pretty! April 29, 2008, 5:38 pm

    Pretty, but not burgundy

    by ilovelauna (3 reviews)
    Viridiana is a beautiful lipstick, it really is! But as to what the other reviewers are saying, why is Nars' describing this as a rich burgundy? Just like my rant over Bad Education, which was described on the site as a crimson (which it is not). Anyway, this is a deep, dusty rose! It's not a red in my opinion at all. This ... November 29, 2007, 9:59 am Viridiana is a beautiful lipstick, it really is! But as to what the other reviewers are saying, why is Nars' describing this as a rich burgundy? Just like my rant over Bad Education, which was described on the site as a crimson (which it is not). Anyway, this is a deep, dusty rose! It's not a red in my opinion at all. This is a day or night color, lovely, but it's no vamp shade and in my opinion, it's really nothing special that couldn't be found at a lesser cost. November 29, 2007, 9:59 am

    Pretty good

    by elizab48 (68 reviews)
    Not too bad, but there are better lipsticks out there for cheaper. Nars has a pretty variety of colors, but they just don't last too long for the price. May 28, 2008, 12:17 pm

    Love at First Swipe!

    I am a self-professed lip stick aholic! I covet each and every type of lip stick, gloss, balm, what have you. Needless to say, I have tried tons of them on and no lipstick comes as close to perfect as NARS. It doesn't fade, feather or clump. It has the perfect consistency for layering and comes in so many fabulous shade... May 28, 2008, 10:09 am I am a self-professed lip stick aholic! I covet each and every type of lip stick, gloss, balm, what have you. Needless to say, I have tried tons of them on and no lipstick comes as close to perfect as NARS. It doesn't fade, feather or clump. It has the perfect consistency for layering and comes in so many fabulous shades. It is a little pricey, but so worth it. One day, I plan to own one of each color and two of certiain ones. My newest favorite is "Sexual Healing". A great sparkly nude-ish tone that looks great on everyone! May 28, 2008, 10:09 am

November 30, 2007, 7:21 am I always loved Nars because it's been one of my favorite brands for eyeshadows. I recently bought the November issue of Allure and read up on "How To Wear Red Lipstick". I decided to go hunting for the perfect shade of red. I went into Sephora to go check some reds out and tried on two different shades from different brands with the help of a beauty consultant and fell in love with Shanghai Express. It looks absolutely gorgeous and stayed on my lips at least 6 hours even after a quick bite to eat.I only had to reapply once later in the night and was good for the rest of the day. One of the best lipsticks I've tried yet. I love it! November 30, 2007, 7:21 am

    i heart captiva

    by amwhiteh (8 reviews)
    I've long been a fan of Nars lipstick. While it does not have supernatural staying power (it does come off when you eat/drink/smoke/rub your lips w/ Kleenex), this lipstick is well worth its $20-something price tag. The colors are always rich and really remain true once applied. My new favorite shade is Captiva, a berry-... November 7, 2007, 7:49 am I've long been a fan of Nars lipstick.

The colors are always rich and really remain true once applied. My new favorite shade is Captiva, a berry-reddish shade that looks good on almost everyone... November 7, 2007, 7:49 am
