Our take on the NARS Explicit Lipstick

The NARS Explicit Lipstick is a refillable bullet lipstick with a creamy, medium-to-full coverage formula and a dimensional satin finish. It uses a Luxe Comfort Complex with rosehip seed oil and hyaluronic acid, and a precision tip for defining and contouring lips. It comes in 3.8 g and spans brown, berry, coral, pink and red color families. It is a premium-priced lipstick aimed at people who want saturated color with a comfortable, non-matte finish.

Questions and answers

Is the NARS Explicit Lipstick worth the price?
If you want a creamy, high-pigment satin lipstick with a refillable case, it earns its premium price. If you want a transfer-proof matte, cheaper options do that better.
How does it compare with NARS Audacious Lipstick?
Explicit is creamier and refillable, with a satin finish and a precision tip. Audacious is a fuller-coverage, more classic bullet with a heavier feel.
How long does it last?
It is long-lasting for a satin lipstick, but it transfers on cups and food. Expect to touch up after meals.
Is it drying?
No. The formula includes rosehip seed oil and hyaluronic acid, and it is designed for comfortable wear without dryness or peeling.
Can I buy refills?
Yes. The bullet is refillable, so you keep the case and swap in a new refill shade.
What is in the box?
One 3.8 g lipstick bullet in its refillable case. Refills are sold separately.
