The NARS Powermatte Lipstick in 'Get Lucky' (Red) is designed for individuals seeking a high-impact, long-lasting matte lip color. Its key benefit lies in its intensely pigmented, transfer-resistant formula that offers up to 10 hours of comfortable wear. A small caveat is that, like most matte lipsticks, proper lip preparation is key to achieving the smoothest application and most comfortable feel.

The NARS Powermatte Lipstick 'Get Lucky' is engineered for impactful performance. You can expect vivid, opaque red color from the very first swipe, making it ideal for creating a statement lip. Its transfer-resistant nature means you can confidently sip drinks or give light kisses without leaving significant marks. The 10-hour wear makes it perfect for long days at work, special events, or evenings out where touch-ups are inconvenient. For optimal results, ensure your lips are smooth and hydrated. For instance, applying it to well-exfoliated and moisturized lips before a formal dinner will ensure the color remains pristine from appetizers to dessert. The lightweight formula prevents the heavy, cakey feeling often associated with long-wear matte lipsticks, allowing for extended comfortable wear.
Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application and most comfortable wear, gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a light, non-greasy lip balm, allowing it to fully absorb or gently blot off any excess before applying lipstick.
Application: Apply directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. Repeat for the lower lip. For a more precise edge, use a lip brush.
Lip Liner: For enhanced definition and to prevent feathering, pair with a matching red NARS Precision Lip Liner.
Other Lip Products: While designed to be worn alone for a matte look, avoid layering with gloss or creamy lip products, as this may compromise its transfer-resistant and long-wear properties.
After Use: Always retract the lipstick completely and firmly replace the cap to prevent drying out and protect the bullet from damage.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and longevity.
