NARS Explicit Lipstick (830 ENVY)

I bought this as a birthday present for a friend! I have it myself and the color is amazing, so you can enjoy applying it in a lighter shade depending on the day! There are so many colors available, so if you're having trouble finding a lipstick at a department store, I recommend you give this a try!

It's easy to use and doesn't get bulky, and the color is cute!

I bought this to give my lips a crisp look on days when I have to wear a mask or take it off, or when I wear a suit for work. It's more matte, so it makes my lips look crisper than I expected, so I either apply a lip essence underneath or lightly layer a gloss on top. The photo shows a comparison with my favorite Kanebo Rouge Star Vibrant V09. Top: NARS 811, bottom: Kanebo 09. I hope this is helpful.

Here are my impressions after about a month of use! ● Application: It's smooth and smooth, with a matte finish. It's less moisturizing than tinted lipsticks, so if my lips dry out, I cover it up by applying a moisturizing lipstick on top. ● Color: 830 ENVY At first, I thought it might be a bit muted, but it looks solid, so it's perfect for work! Even when I want to slack off on makeup, like when I'm working remotely, just applying lipstick can change my look, and the subtle color works just right. NARS products tend to have great color payoff! Even when layered, it evens out the overall color and blends well with a variety of looks, so it's also recommended as a primer or finishing touch. ● Other: The magnetic cap is a surprisingly big plus! After a quick application on the go, the cap snaps shut, giving me a sense of speed and security.

I wanted a red lipstick, so I chose this color. It's not a garish red, but has a slight orange tint, so it's easy to use. The texture is also moisturizing, so I'm interested in the other colors.
