nars soft matte tinted lip balm review

 

Halo darlings. Iโ€™ve got a quick review to share, and itโ€™s all about the lip product I mentioned during my previous posts. I was so excited when I got my hands on the Nars Soft Matte Tinted Lip Balm. It looks like the perfect matte lip balm for any occasion, especially for Zooming :D. Well, guess what? Iโ€™m happy to report that it is indeed an amazing product that checks all the boxes. Hydrating? Yes. Comfortable? Oh yes. Pigmented? Yes, yes. Long-wearing? Totally, yes.

 

nars soft matte tinted lip balm brief encounter

 

The Nars Soft Matte Lip Balm is a limited-edition lip product from Nars. It comes with the signature Nars-style packaging, but it has a gray metallic tone. At a glance, the shades tend to be on the nude spectrum, or should I say, in varying intensities of the nude tone (excusez moi, this is the academic side of me talking ๐Ÿ˜€ lol). I do find the shades to be somewhat sheer, especially the ones that I got. But also, a few of the shades tend to be more opaque as they get deeper/darker.

Unrestricted โ€“ Pink nude. This is a beautiful mix of sheer pink and sheer nude. I like this a lot, and the pigment stays on for more than four hours.

 

Brief Encounter โ€“ Neutral Nude. This just gives me enough color on the lips. Perhaps a little too nude for me. But the effect just gives that enough warmth that slightly contrasts my skintone.

 

Whip Lash โ€“ Rusty Nude. I didnโ€™t expect how dramatic this shade could get. Itโ€™s like a brownish brick red. Itโ€™s a beautiful shade for medium skintone and perfect for Fall.

The Nars Soft Matte Lip Balm is like Glossierโ€™s Generation G lipstick (swatched HERE) but with more moisture. It is indeed comfortable, matte, lightweight, long-wearing and will give you that diffused and blurred lip texture effect. It seems like it is the perfect formula for the next generation of comfortable lip products. I hope this product will be made permanent by Nars soon.

What dโ€™ya think of this newness from Nars?
