Nars Cosmetics earns strong reviews for performance: concealers blend seamlessly, resist creasing, and wear all day, while iconic blushes and lip products deliver rich pigment and a natural, skin-like finish. Reviews also flag drawbacks—reports of a changed powder blush formula, sharpening issues with lip pencils, limited excitement from recent launches, and concerns about animal testing—making the brand impressive but not universally aligned with every buyer’s priorities.
I have had this Nars lipstick in this red color for a while now and I really liked it while it was useable but it really cannot be sharpened again unless I assume you get a sharpener from NARS. I cannot sharpen it with my own sharpener so it is kind of useless.
I’ve tried quite a few products from NARS Cosmetics and overall it’s definitely one of those brands that gives a more high-end, professional makeup feel. The packaging is sleek and minimal, and the quality is usually very consistent across different products.
One of my favorite things about the brand is how pigmented and blendable the products are. Especially their blushes and lip products, they give that soft but still noticeable finish that looks really flattering on the skin. Their iconic shades like the blush are popular for a reason, they suit so many skin tones and give a natural glow . I also like that most products feel lightweight but still last pretty well throughout the day.
Can't recommend more highly. Wear this concealer every day and I swear by it. It evens out my skin tone perfectly and blends so wonderfully. It doesn't crease or look flakey. Have been using it the last 4 years and it's my most essential beauty product other than moisturizer haha
I have used various Nars products over the years and i can't say i have ever been disappointed with anything. The concealer is nice (though i have since moved on to more skin like concealer finishes), the orgasm blush is also nice, but nothing has come out recently that really excites me (but that is probably just me). I know that if i do pick something up it's going to be a solid product.
