The NARS Afterglow Lip Shine is designed for individuals seeking a high-shine, comfortable lip gloss that also delivers significant hydration and conditioning benefits. Its primary advantage is the dual action of providing a mirror-like finish while actively hydrating lips for up to eight hours, resulting in a softer, more supple feel. A consideration for users is that, as a lip shine, it may require reapplication throughout the day for continuous peak intensity, particularly after eating or drinking. This product combines a luxurious gloss with potent skincare ingredients, applied with a custom-designed applicator for effortless use.

The NARS Afterglow Lip Shine excels in delivering both aesthetic appeal and lip care benefits. For everyday use, a single swipe provides a natural-looking sheen and a boost of hydration, making lips feel instantly more comfortable. When preparing for a special occasion or desiring a more impactful look, the custom applicator allows for buildable coverage, letting you layer the product to achieve your desired level of shine and subtle color. Its conditioning properties, derived from ingredients like Jojoba Oil and Pomegranate Extract, mean it actively works to improve lip health, making it an excellent choice for those prone to dry or chapped lips. You can apply it alone for a sheer, glossy effect or layer it over your favorite lipstick to add a vibrant, reflective finish and enhance existing color. The Vitamin E-infused Raspberry Seed Oil further ensures lips remain smooth and soft, preventing common issues like flakiness. This versatility allows it to seamlessly integrate into any makeup routine, from minimalist to glamorous, ensuring your lips look and feel their best.
For optimal results, start with clean, dry lips. If desired, gently exfoliate your lips beforehand to create a smooth canvas. Use the custom-designed applicator to apply the NARS Afterglow Lip Shine directly to your lips. Begin by outlining the cupid's bow and then fill in the rest of the lips, working from the center outwards. The applicator is shaped to hug your lip curves, ensuring an even and effortless application. You can apply a single layer for a subtle, sheer gloss or build up layers for more intense shine and a hint of color.
This lip shine is highly versatile and compatible with most lip products. It can be worn beautifully on its own or layered over your favorite lip liner or lipstick to add a glossy finish and enhance hydration. It works well with both matte and satin lip colors, transforming their finish while providing additional conditioning benefits.
To maintain the quality and longevity of your NARS Afterglow Lip Shine, always ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or being exposed to air. Store the lip shine in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect its consistency and effectiveness. Avoid dropping the product, as this could damage the packaging or the applicator.
