The NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Purple excels at delivering a bold, dramatic lip look. Its highly pigmented formula ensures that a single application provides full, opaque coverage, transforming your lips with rich, deep color. The liquid texture allows for high precision, making it perfect for sharply defined edges, which is crucial for such an impactful shade.
Once applied, the pigment dries down quickly to a smooth, comfortable matte finish. Unlike some matte formulas, this one is designed to feel lightweight and not heavy, ensuring extended wear without discomfort. Its long-lasting property means less need for touch-ups throughout the day, making it ideal for events or situations where durability is key.
To achieve the best results, start with clean, dry lips. For ultimate precision, consider outlining your lips with a matching or clear lip liner before applying the pigment. Use the applicator to carefully fill in your lips, starting from the center and working outwards. Allow a moment for the product to set and dry down completely to its matte finish. This product is designed for a striking appearance, offering a sophisticated and modern touch to any makeup routine, especially when you want your lips to be the focal point.
Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application and to prevent accentuating lip lines, gently exfoliate your lips before use. Follow with a lightweight, non-oily lip balm, allowing it to fully absorb or gently blot off any excess before applying the lip pigment.
Outline (Optional): For razor-sharp precision, use a lip liner in a matching shade or a clear liner around the edges of your lips. This can also help prevent feathering.
Application: Use the applicator to apply the pigment. Start by lining the Cupid's bow and bottom lip, then fill in the rest of your lips. Apply in thin, even layers for best results, allowing each layer to dry if layering is desired (though one swipe usually suffices).
This Powermatte Lip Pigment is a standalone product designed for a full-impact matte finish. It pairs well with a variety of makeup looks, from minimalist eye makeup to dramatic smoky eyes, allowing the bold purple lip to be the star. Avoid layering with glosses or other creamy lip products directly over it, as this can break down the matte finish and longevity.
Storage: Keep the lip pigment stored upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its formula and consistency.
Hygiene: Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain hygiene.
Removal: Due to its long-lasting and highly pigmented nature, an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water is recommended for effective and gentle removal.
