Inside The Beauty Edit[ed] Box: Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment

Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment in American Woman

Unlike the liquid lip colors you’ve probably come to know, Nars’ take on this category is a true liquid matte that’s watery in texture but ultra pigmented—“a powerful concentrate of our most powerful matte yet,'' according to the brand. The Powermatte Lip Pigment dries truly weightless and stays flexible all day (not just after application!), you are bound to forget you’re wearing it. It’s smudge-resistant and long-lasting, it will survive your lunch or afternoon cup of joe. Its formula, which is unlike any other, is what makes it a true winner. 

This particular shade, American Woman, is a beautiful chestnut rose that’s warm and pink and wearable enough to go from daily wear to wedding day. 

Expert Tip: Shake the tube before using to ensure the pigments are well distributed. The wand and doe applicator is stiffer than others, which allows a better control when applying the product’s thin texture. Use the tip to move from corners to the inner lips. One layer will deposit enough color, but you can also gradually layer to set it best.
