Nars Cosmetics earns strong reviews for performance, with richly pigmented, blendable formulas that look natural and last—especially cult staples like Orgasm blush, Laguna bronzer, and Soft Matte Complete Concealer—yet criticisms note a hard-to-sharpen lip pencil, potential blush formula changes, and objections to animal testing. Overall, reviews position Nars as a reliable, high-quality choice if you value flattering shades and long wear, but be mindful of tooling quirks, finish preferences, and ethical concerns.

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.

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.

love all the nars products, from their creamy concealer to this classic blush. lasts a long time and is easy to apply without being too precise. the shade is universal and super pretty, highly recommend

I purchased the NARS concealer based on a recommendation fron my sister. It is very thick and offers full coverage. It works great but the price is bit steep. I’d like to try more products from this brand.

The NARS Powder Blush in shade O has been a makeup staple for as long as I can remember, 15+ years. The blush and its formula has continuously evolved with the times and its consumers. The latest and greatest O is talc-free and is perfectly pigmented. It is a peachy pink with a golden shimmer. It has amazing color payoff. However, you can still achieve a deeper shade by applying more than one layer. I love the matte finish this blush provides and how it appears to blur pores. This blush is a makeup must have. NARS sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program.

Nars has my favorite products. I use a primer, moisturizer, tinted moisturizer, concealer and liquid blush from Nars. I use a Youngblood powder for setting. The liquid blush is a color I normally don't wear, preferring something more pink, but it's really natural looking. The tinted moisturizer with the primer looks like your skin. It doesn't look like you are wearing makeup. I do wish the overall look was a bit more dewy, but I think it's very close to exactly what I want and I'm playing around with something to put on after the tinted moisturizer for a more dewy finish. Despite loving these products, I will sadly be looking elsewhere since they test on animals now.

I really like this lip pencil. It's super smooth and moisturizing but also lasts a long time. It doesn't have a strong scent or taste which I like as well. The application was easy and it didn't flake or separate on my lips. I usually wear lip gloss, but this was a good alternative.

The NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer is my go-to when I need full coverage without looking cakey. It blends so easily and stays put all day, even under the eyes. I also use it to cover blemishes, and it never creases or clings to dry patches. A solid choice for a natural yet flawless finish. ✨🖤


This lipstick glides on so smoothly and dries down to a soft matte that actually stays. It doesn’t feel drying at all, and the pigment is bold in just one swipe. I wore it for hours without touch-ups — definitely a new fave. 💄💋

This concealer is a cult favorite for a reason it blends like a dream and covers dark circles without creasing. It has a natural, radiant finish and lasts all day. I always reach for it when I want a flawless under-eye look 👀 🩷

This is the first concealer I've found that isn't either too pink or too yellow on my skin. I'm not a makeup expert, but even just using my fingertip to dab it on my undereye circles really helps me look more awake. I appreciate that it's easy to use and looks pretty natural.

I have been buying and wearing NARS cosmetics since I was in high school. Nearly 15 years later and I still love the quality of the products. I'm on my 3rd or 4th container of the soft matte complete concealer. But their blushes and concealers are incredible!

Great concealer, it sits well on my face. I've always been a fan of Nars products since they always are high quality and you can tell the difference. It's on the more expensive side but that's to be expected for the quality you're getting.

Good packaging on the lipgloss. I use it sometimes. It has a nice finish and the drawback is it’s a little expensive. I like that it has a bit of micro glitters in the formula and I use other Nars products as well.

A beauty community classic — buying your first NARS lipstick or blush is your entryway into early adulthood, it feels. Their products are always richly pigmented + exude high quality. I love how creamy their lip products are — it truly takes any look to the next level!

Nars Powder Blush in Behave is my go-to natural flush pink eye and cheek palate for barely there makeup looks...a little mascara, concealer, highlight, and gloss and done! Great color for us neutral-cool Soft Summers. HOWEVER I have heard that the powder blush formula has changed, so new buyers beware - this is why the low recommend rating.
It’s a shame this company tests on animals because I’ve heard great things about the quality of the products. I don’t buy from them because they are not cruelty free
NARS orgasm blush in both liquid and powder are my OG products. I love how pigmented they are and the fact they last forever. I also love their laguana bronzer, it's a great product. Price tag is a little on the heavy side but I find it worth it.
The Nars tinted moisturizer and concealer are my go-to makeup products. Completely blurs my blemishes without giving a fake appearance. So hydrating and feels so light.
