Instant Crush

NARS Instant Crush Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium pink with moderate, warmer undertones and fine, pearly shimmer throughout. It had medium pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with two layers. The lipstick had a lightweight, lightly emollient texture that was thin without feeling clingy, but it didn’t slide around during wear. The color went on evenly without emphasizing my lip lines or natural texture. This shade stayed on nicely for four hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$26.00/0.12 oz. - $216.67 Per Ounce

NARS has reformulated their core lipstick range, which now includes 72 shades across three finishes: matte, sheer, and satin. The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly and evenly with a light feel" that is "long-lasting" and "resistant to bleeding and feathering." The sheer finish has "subtle, sheer color that shines," while the satin finish has "creamy rich color" and the matte finish has "intense color with a velvety finish."

The matte finish has a very thin, featherweight feel to it, but they didn't feel clingy or too prone to dragging during application, though they were definitely a firmer texture in the tube. There was enough glide from the inclusion of dimethicone (first ingredient for the matte finish) that went on evenly, felt velvety but didn't feel as powder-like as some of the other more silicone-heavy matte lipstick formulas that have been released in the last couple of years. Most shades were pigmented and nearly opaque to opaque. The wear ranged from three to six hours with deeper, richer shades staying on a bit longer and leaving slight stains. They were comfortable to wear but felt more non-drying than particularly hydrating.

The satin finish has more slip, feels thicker (though not actually thick or heavy) compared to the matte finish, and of course, there was subtle to light shine/sheen. They applied smoothly, comfortably, and for the most part, went on evenly and didn't sink noticeably into my lip lines but there was some variance between shades. They were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with four to six-hour wear that was lightly hydrating.

The sheer finish had coverage that ranged from semi-sheer to true medium coverage but most had some translucency to them, which gave them a sheerer finish. I found most of the shades I tried were buildable to some degree. The texture was a bit firmer, but they felt more emollient and "melted" a bit more against my lips than I recall the original line of lipsticks doing. Some shades applied well with even application and were flattering on, but there were a few that sank more noticeably into my lip lines. This finish tended to wear between three and five hours.

I don't have many of NARS' original lipsticks in my stash (I have mostly Audacious as they haven't been releasing many in the core range) to compare to. The matte finish was definitely thinner, more matte, and had a velvetier look on lips compared to the original which had a subtle sheen to it. The satin finish seemed a bit more pigmented and not quite as luminous/glossy as the previous formula, while the sheer finish was creamier, more emollient, and was easier to apply. It didn't feel like a vastly different formula, but it felt a bit easier to work with (smoother, more emollient but still lighterweight and thin, far less slip than any of the Audacious range) and was more comfortable to wear across the board for me.

I didn't notice any scent or taste, though there is "fragrance (parfum)" listed in the ingredients--it smelled neutral, not waxy but I just didn't get any scent.

Damage

NARS Damage Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had medium, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that softened slightly as it warmed up against my lips. The very first use (on my arm) felt a bit firmer, but it was more yielding on my lips (second use). The product applied evenly across my lips, while the more emollient formula didn’t sink into my lip lines. It wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time. The updated Sheer finish is more pigmented than the previous formula, in general.

Tolede

NARS Tolede Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dusty, medium-dark coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with color that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The product had a lightweight texture that was thin without being clingy, so there was just enough slip to glide on and feel comfortable during application. The color stayed out of my lip lines and lasted well for four and a half hours on me. The formula felt lightly moisturizing while worn.
