Is NARS Lipstick drying?

No. It is a cream formula with rosehip seed oil, and owners describe it as comfortable rather than tight or flaky.

How long does it last?

It is long-lasting for a cream lipstick, but the satin finish transfers and fades after eating, so expect a touch-up.

Is the bullet refillable?

Yes. The bullet is refillable, so you keep the case and swap in a new refill.

How much coverage does one swipe give?

Medium-to-full. Most wearers get even color in one pass and build from there.

What does it smell like?

The line carries a soft vanilla-led scent rather than a strong fragrance.

How does it compare with a liquid matte?

It is more comfortable and less drying, but a liquid matte will resist transfer better.

Our take on the NARS Lipstick

NARS Lipstick is a creamy bullet lipstick with medium-to-full coverage and a dimensional satin finish. It is built around rosehip seed oil, so it glides on without the dryness of many matte formulas, and the bullet is refillable. It suits shoppers who want a polished satin lip that lasts through a workday and can be topped up from a refill rather than a new tube. Against long-wear liquid lipsticks it trades extreme transfer resistance for comfort and a softer look.
