Finding a lipstick that is just the right texture and colour can sometimes feel like a Goldilocks adventure, but when you find ‘the one’ you wonder how you ever got by without it.
That’s how NARS’ lipsticks feel. This year, the iconic brand is celebrating 30 years of ‘rule-breaking beauty’ by launching a new range of lipsticks that build on its already iconic collection of long-wear staples.
Dubbed the ‘Explicit Lipsticks’, the new range comes in 21 carefully curated shades – from ‘bare it all’, a cool pink; to ‘incendiary’, a vivid orange-red; ‘unrestrained’, a deep garnet hue; and ‘provocateur’, a candy pink.
Each of the shades has been created to offer long-lasting comfort – meaning they’ll stay put all day (and night!) long – are smudge-resistance, and have a smooth, creamy satin finish.
Founder and Creative Director of NARS, François Nars, has described the range as ‘provocative’, and it’s just that – representing the bold and playful tone the brand is known for.
The Explicit Lipsticks all have a new precision-tip bullet to help define the shape when applying, allowing for clean lines. It’s also lightweight and offers medium-to-full coverage.
The new range has been created by infusing rosehip seed oil and hyaluronic acid into the lipsticks to help lock in moisture. No dry lips here!
Don’t just take our word for it – a sample study found that 100 per cent of people who tried the lipsticks agreed that they felt creamy and soft, and said it provided a smooth application, while 96 per cent said it kept their lips feeling nourished and hydrated.
Whether you’re a fan of go-to nudes, statement reds, pretty pinks, or mysterious plums, there’s a colour and style for you in the NARS Explicit Lipstick range – and it’s available to purchase at John Lewis now.
