The NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in American Woman excels in delivering a powerful punch of color. Its liquid formula glides smoothly onto the lips, providing full coverage almost instantly. For a classic, bold statement, apply a single, thin layer to the entire lip. The "zero-gravity" feel means you'll barely notice it's there, making it suitable for prolonged wear during events or daily activities.
For a Defined Look: Start by outlining your lips with the applicator, then fill in the rest. Its high precision allows for sharp edges.
For a Softer Edge: Apply to the center of your lips and gently blend outwards with a fingertip for a diffused, softer matte effect.
Layering: While one swipe is sufficient for maximum impact, you can apply a second thin layer after the first has set for an even deeper hue, though this is rarely necessary. Ensure each layer is thin to maintain the comfortable, non-drying feel.
This lip pigment is ideal for situations where you need your lip color to stay put without constant touch-ups, from long workdays to evening outings.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Blot off any excess balm before applying the pigment.
One Swipe Wonder: Use the applicator to apply a single, thin coat. Its potent pigment means less is more for full coverage.
Allow to Set: For optimal long-lasting wear and minimal transfer, allow the pigment a moment to fully set on your lips after application.
This liquid matte lip pigment is designed to be compatible with most lip primers for enhanced wear, and pairs well with lip liners for extra definition. Its "American Woman" shade is a versatile red, suitable for a wide range of skin tones and makeup looks.
Storage: Store the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, to maintain its texture and potency.
Cleaning: Keep the applicator clean by wiping any excess product off the wand before returning it to the tube to prevent product buildup and ensure smooth future applications.
