NARS Afterglow Lipstick in Dolce Vita offers a delightful experience for those who prioritize comfort and a natural aesthetic over intense pigmentation. Upon application, it delivers a sheer, rosy pink tint that blends seamlessly with your natural lip color. The formula feels smooth and balm-like, instantly hydrating the lips without any stickiness.
For a Subtle Tint: Apply one swipe directly to clean, dry lips. This creates a delicate veil of color, perfect for a no-makeup makeup look or quick enhancement.
For Enhanced Color: Layer the lipstick 2-3 times. This will build up the Dolce Vita shade to a more noticeable, yet still natural, pink without looking heavy or caked on.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best color adherence, gently exfoliate your lips beforehand and ensure they are free of any dry patches.
Pairing: This lipstick can be worn alone for a casual look or paired with a complementary lip liner (like a nude or soft pink) for added definition and to potentially prolong wear.
Its 'Afterglow' quality refers to the subtle luminous finish, giving lips a healthy, plumped appearance. It's an excellent choice for daily wear, work, or casual outings where you desire a polished yet effortless look. Due to its sheer nature, it's forgiving if applied imperfectly, making it a reliable staple in your makeup bag.
Simply uncap the lipstick and twist the base to reveal the product. There is no specific setup required.
Lip Liners: Compatible with most lip liners. For best results, choose a liner that matches or is slightly deeper than the Dolce Vita shade to define your lip line or prevent feathering.
Lip Glosses: Can be layered under or over a clear or pink-toned lip gloss to add extra shine or subtly alter the finish.
Other Lip Products: Works well as a hydrating base under more matte lip products, or as a top-up color when other lipsticks fade.
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. This helps maintain the integrity of the formula and prevents melting or changes in texture.
Hygiene: To maintain hygiene and product quality, avoid sharing the lipstick with others. If needed, gently wipe the surface of the bullet with a clean tissue before and after use.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out or getting contaminated.
