Nars Air Matte Lip Color Review & Swatches

Nars recently launched a new lip color and these work great while wearing masks. They are a lightweight liquid lipstick that are not think, but like the name suggests, is air-weight. To me, they feel like something in between a soufflé and a tint. They are not like the usual liquid lipsticks at all.

The darker shades are not that dark once blended, but give a lovely diffused ombre look. I especially like the last 3 reds (I dab them on the inner part of my lips and blend them out).

Brand’s description: READY TO AIR

Daringly diffused. Seductively soft. A matte that moves with you. Cushiony, air-kissed pigments float featherweight color onto lips, while Color Diffusion Complex creates a soft-focus finish with a creamy feel. Build and blend to perfection with a custom-designed applicator for a look that’s covetable and comfortable. The next generation in matte lip color, styled to air-fection. Limited edition.

SOFT, DIFFUSED LIP COLOR

Cloud Diffusion Complex, a weightless blend of silky polymers and micropowders form an innovative formula that instantly diffuses color for a soft-focus finish.

COMFORTABLE, LONGWEAR FORMULA

Lightweight, airy matte texture with a creamy feel provides continuous, lasting comfort.

CUSTOMIZED APPLICATION

Custom applicator provides easy control to effortlessly build coverage from sheer to full for a variety of lip looks.

The website suggests 3 ways to use these lipsticks:

DIFFUSED

For a pillow-soft stained lip, apply Air Matte Lip Color in any shade to the center of the top and bottom lip.
Press lips together and gently blend outward with fingertips to blur color, use #22 Blending Brush to diffuse and blend color along the edges.
Use Soft Matte Complete Concealer and Light Reflecting Setting Powder Loose to further blur the lip line or to touch up throughout the day.

DIMENSIONAL

Layer two shades to create a one-of-a-kind look.
Apply one color all over lips to create an opaque base.
Layer the second color onto center of lips.
Blend and diffuse with #30 Precision Lip Brush.
