  • Richly pigmented color payoff
  • Blendable, professional-grade textures
  • Long-lasting, lightweight wear

  • Awkward lip pencil sharpening
  • Inconsistent blush formula changes
  • Less dewy base finishes
  • Ethical animal testing concerns

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 LOVE Nars products. I would buy so many more, but they are soooooo expensive. My favorite glossy lipstick is from them in the shade Laguna. It costs $28, which I think is a bit much. It's a great splurge item, but not a brand that I can afford to purchase from frequently.
