The NARS Powermatte Lipstick in 'Too Hot To Hold' excels at providing a dramatic and enduring red lip. For optimal performance, start with smooth, exfoliated lips. Its intense pigmentation means a single swipe can deliver full color, but for an even more defined look, consider using a matching lip liner. The weightless formula ensures comfort throughout wear, making it suitable for prolonged events or daily bold statements. Blotting gently after initial application can help set the color and enhance its longevity. This lipstick is best used when a truly impactful and non-transferring (once set) red lip is desired, complementing both minimal and elaborate makeup looks.
To prepare your lips for the NARS Powermatte Lipstick, ensure they are clean and dry. Gently exfoliate to remove any dry skin, then apply a thin layer of lip balm, allowing it to absorb fully before blotting off any excess. For precise application, consider lining your lips with a matching red lip liner to define the shape and prevent feathering. Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet or use a lip brush for even greater control, starting from the center of your lips and moving outwards. Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and texture. It is compatible with most lip primers and liners, enhancing its wear.
