Nars Powermatte Long-Lasting Lipsticks Review + Swatches

  Looking for high-impact long-lasting lipsticks? You will find your answer in Nars’ Powermatte Long-Lasting Lipsticks which come in different shades. The lipsticks are somewhat similar in terms of pigment and texture to the Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment (reviewed HERE), but in a bulleted lipstick form. The Nars Air Matte Liquid Lipstick (remember?, seen HERE) is a softer version of the two…

NARS Powermatte Liquid Lip Pigments and Precision Lip Liners 

NARS will finally launch the much-talked about Powermatte Lip Pigments (S$40) in Singapore in September and these will be available in 20 shades. They will first be available at counters at TANGS and Robinsons from 1 September, and then at Sephora from 14, but if you’re impatient, they’ve pre-launched at the NARS boutique in Ngee Ann City already!

I’ve had the chance to swatch several shades and also tested four of them on my lips, and I’ll say the standout positive features of this range are:

All the shades are quite sophisticated; edgy rather than outlandish. Aside from the black, I would say all the colors are very grown-up and pretty wearable for work. And as expected of NARS, expect kick-ass reds and neutrals.

The formula is incredibly light and watery (somewhat like a silkier Lime Crime Velveteen) but also goes on very intense and opaque. The applicator is small and hard, but there is more than enough product to cover a whole mouth. In fact, the liquid spreads so well that a tiny bit goes a long way, which means your money will go a longer way too.

The shades don’t seem to darken much or grey noticeably when set. At least for the four shades I tried, these dried down mostly how they look when wet. So you don’t end up with a shade on your mouth that’s totally different from in the tube.

Liquid lipsticks that set will always feel dry on the lips. There’s no avoiding that. But these are formulated to remain quite flexible on the lips instead of going stiff and cracking up with movement. I can smile after these set and there are no cracks or gaps. This also makes them a bit more comfortable to wear than many other brands I’ve tried.

They layer quite well, although they are pigmented enough that you shouldn’t need to.

Super sleek packaging of course. This is NARS.

Some cons or just things to take note of:

Obviously, these are not cheap. But they are still more affordable than those from designer brands like Chanel and Burberry.

They take a little longer to set fully. And the first time your lips touch something, you might get a tiny bit of transfer if you applied a thick layer or didn’t wait long enough. I personally don’t mind this but just want to point it out.

The formula is so lightweight and runny that I almost always have a lot more product on the applicator than I need to cover my whole mouth. Be careful about over-application. I’ve had a couple of smears during application when I wasn’t careful. Use less than you think you need and build up if needed. Also be careful when pulling the applicator out of the tube. You don’t want splatters on your dress.

It’s NARS, so I don’t really expect funky colors but I did hope there would be more edgy vampy shades in the selection. A majority of the 20 available do lean on the neutral to light/bright side. Not that many dark sultry shades. Then again they might expand the shade selection eventually like they did with the Audacious lipsticks, if these sell well.

Alongside the Powermatte Lip Pigments, NARS is also launching 26 new Precision Lip Liners. The boast is that these 26 shades will give you an option to match every lip shade you could possibly own in the NARS lip ranges.

Some people might not like the fact that these are normal pencils but I don’t mind sharpening because I find they last longer and go a longer way than twist-up lip pencils. This is partly because regular pencil formulas tend to be stiffer (less prone to breaking) and more lasting on the lips, and also because you get a lot less product in automatic pencils.

These are smooth and pigmented and come in so many shade options that I don’t really have much to complain about.

Ok, let’s talk about red lipstick…

Of all colors, it can be the most intimidating.

With Covid, many of us have ditched lipstick because it gets messed up underneath unwanted masks.

It’s like our lips have taken an extended sabbatical and are completely unfamiliar with the concept of lipstick at all.

Makeup companies have been shutting down due to this.  Literally.

Nonetheless, whether an outfit is neutral, monochrome or anything in-between, red lipstick instantaneously elevates any look to next level status, working like your most flattering pair of jeans or little black dress.

It can be your beauty secret weapon- one that not only beautifully finishes any look but also delivers a strong sense of confidence.

Here are my favorite red lipsticks, at different price points and various finishes.

MAC Ruby Woo

One of the most legendary lipsticks ever created and with a cult following across the globe, Ruby Woo has become MAC’s best-selling lipstick in the United States with seven tubes sold every minute. Released in 1999 and adapted from previously top selling formula Russian Red, it became highly coveted by makeup artists to celebrities and consumers, including Janet Jackson and Rita Ora.   It has blue undertones and a matte finish. Many people have called this lipstick the “perfect red.”  Despite its wining points, this lipstick is known to be a “dryer” lipstick when applied and is recommended to have products applied preceding it in the following order- a lip scrub, lip balm, a coordinating pencil, and then finally the Ruby Woo to finish.  MAC Prep and prime works amazingly to prep the lips, and the MAC lip pencil in Cherry coordinates incredibly well with Ruby Woo on top.

Rouge Dior Refillable Lipstick in 999

Also referred to as “Iconic”, this is a reformulated shade inspired by the reds paired with Christian Dior’s couture dresses in his 1953 fashion show with three sold every hour in the U.S.  The 999 shade is known to look great on every skin tone, and it comes in four finishes: a velvet, matte, satin, and a metallic.  The satin shade is transferrable and does not stay like a liquid lipstick- you will have to reapply after meals and throughout the day.  The velvet has a very creamy feel to it, and the matte is a comfortable matte- it is moisturizing and won’t dry out your lips.  The formula is lightly scented.  If you liked the color, it also comes a liquid lipstick called the Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Transfer-Proof Lipstick in the shade 999 Forever Dior, which is known for is non-budging formula.

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl is a must to add to your lipstick library due to its truly unique shade –few colors are like it.  It has a fuchsia-pink undertones that that make it incredibly eye catching.  The shade also comes in the PowerMatte Lip Pigment formula and the Air Matte Lip Color.   Taylor Swift, known for her love of red lipstick, is a fan of this one as well- she famously wore it to the Met Gala in 2014.  It is also available on Amazon for the severely discounted $19- a big break from the retail price of $27.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick 01 Always Red

I noticed this one on a friend many years ago, and she said, “Its only $15 at Sephora, and it’s the Sephora brand!” It is a blue-red undertone liquid lipstick with major staying power (through meals) with incredibly creamy formula, flattering all skin tones with very few reapplications.  If you are the type of person who just starting out your lipstick wardrobe or is not wanting to invest very much but is wanting superb quality all the same- this is your go to.  It is Sephora’s best-selling liquid lipstick, and it also comes in 86 other colors, in case you really like it.

If looking for the ultimate luxurious red lip for yourself or a fantastic gift for the person who has everything luxurious under the sun, go no farther- Christian Louboutin’s Velvet Matte lipstick in Rouge Louboutin 001M is your best pick.  At $90 for one lipstick, few can justify this purchase- and to re purchase.  But after many try this lipstick, a surprising number are converted- it becomes a must have in their collection, and they never go back.  A true work of art itself- each tube is an ornately decorated pendant with a gorgeous cap that looks like hybrid between turret and a crown.  It is hung by a ribbon on the cap, so you can decide if you want to wear it out on the town or use it like art for next year’s Christmas Tree.  It is known as the best-selling red lip in Paris, and it won the Allure Best of Beauty award in 2019 and has a long-lasting and comfortable formula.  

Lisa Eldridge True Velvet Lip Color in Red Ribbon

The British makeup artist, with the celebrity following of Kiera Knightly, Rihanna, Rosie Huntington Whitley, Duo Lipa, Winnie Harlow, and Victoria Beckham (just to name a few), Lisa Eldridge has been a tour de force in all aspects of makeup artistry.  After first starting her YouTube channel in 2010 with outpouring success, she started her own makeup line in 2018 by launching a limited-edition collection of True Velvet lipsticks that sold out within seconds. The Velvet Ribbon shade, a red that was the first to launch, which was an immediate sell out.  The highly pigmented shade has a finish that looks exactly like velvet fabric but on the lips. The packaging Is luxurious, coming in retro metallic brushed gold with Lisa’s initials embossed on the cap.   The shade also comes in a matching lip liner, which she has made a slight shade deeper than the lips.  

Her beauty channel is one of the best on YouTube- she keeps it fresh by doing trendy looks on herself while also featuring looks on celebrities and guest artists.  An emerald green eye look created for Emma Roberts and replicated on Lisa’s channel is outstanding- it is a saturated green with smoked-out grey edges for a truly edgy look.  Another look worth watching is the recreation of Adele’s signature look, which includes the breakdown of her famous winged eyeliner, step by step.

me gazing adoringly at my nars powermatte lip pigment in starwoman and not shutting the fuck up about it to any of my friends:

[pink-doll-lips]

Here's a simple one. Any tips for keeping lip color from ending up on everything? Favorite brands that don't smudge, or setting powders you might love?

Lol. I love this question but am a little worried I’m too drunk for it. I’ll try to remember to check my answer tomorrow.

But if the goal is color not ending up everything, you have to go wirh a Matte liquid stick or a lipstain. Nars powermatte lip pigment is a favorite for the Matte liquid lipstick. It feels really light. And my favorite stain was sadly discontinued so I’m not sure what my top recommendation there is. Lol. One option is to have a popsicle tho lol. Very k beauty look then too.ol
