Extended Product Information

The NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment is engineered for those who desire a high-impact, long-lasting matte lip. To get the best performance, start with clean, dry lips. For an extra smooth finish, gently exfoliate your lips beforehand and apply a very thin layer of lip balm, blotting off any excess. The product's intense color means a little goes a long way. Use the applicator to carefully outline your lips, then fill in. For maximum longevity and a powerful matte effect, apply a single, thin, even layer. Avoid rubbing your lips together immediately after application, allowing the pigment to set completely. This ensures the concentrated pigments adhere effectively for a bold, striking finish that feels lightweight.

Setup & Application 1. Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application, gently exfoliate your lips. Apply a light, non-occlusive lip balm, and blot off any excess with a tissue. 2. Outline: Use the precision applicator to define your cupid's bow and the outer edges of your lips. For extra definition, consider using a lip liner in a matching shade. 3. Fill In: Apply a thin, even layer of the lip pigment to fill in your lips, starting from the center and working outwards. 4. Set: Allow the pigment to dry completely without pressing your lips together to ensure a powerful, long-lasting matte finish. ### Compatibility The NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment is generally compatible with most lip care routines. For a subtle shift in finish, a very thin layer of clear gloss can be dabbed over the center of the lips once the pigment has fully dried, though this will alter the powerful matte effect. ### Care & Removal To maintain the product's integrity, store it upright at room temperature. To remove the long-wearing pigment, an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water is recommended. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and gently press onto the lips for a few seconds before wiping away.
