NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment Swatches

I have all the shades swatched right here but there are two that aren’t in order as I don’t have my own samples of Just What I Needed and Just Push Play (stock issues). I’ll show you those first and then I can get on with the rest. Please note, the swatches are captured before dry down as I had to get them off before they set fast!

Thoughts on the formulation

The formulation is incredible. When I swatched the first two shades last week, I could still see traces of the pigment after three days. They are certainly long lasting.

The applicator is such a unique yet brilliant shape. The fine point makes lining the lips really easy and then you can quickly swipe with the side to fully cover the whole lips. One dip is easily enough to do all the lips. There’s a little transfer after they are first applied (if you’re drinking a cup of tea that is) but once that’s done they are set. They matte down really fast and the finish stays flexible and hydrating so you really can’t feel they are on your lips.

I have been wearing Walk This Way (my fave) and I just tried out Don’t Stop which is the most stunning red. I am really excited to try out some more of the real power shades. Make sure you are following me on Instagram to see more shades in my Stories.
