Lip Lust - NARS Moon Fleet/Indian Red Lip Gloss/Lip Stain
I don’t have much NARS in my makeup stash, but what few products I have, I really enjoy. NARS’ Moon Fleet / Indian Red Lip Gloss/Lip Stain is such a pretty, ultra-glossy semi-sheer red. The red itself is lovely in its tone – not too orange, not too blue – almost a neutral red, which is hard to come by. The gold shimmer gloss makes a great way to give the color some shine and sparkle. I’m warm-toned, so I find that the gold accents and works well with my skin tone, too.
I had this but quickly returned it- I hated how watery it was, and how the red from the stain got into the gold gloss and ruined the colour of it. But the big problem was is that within 10 minutes it would disappear and I would be left with a ‘kool-aid’ line around my mouth… ICK!
Hi Naomi,
How weird! Mine’s definitely not watery, though it’s not a stain (not sure why they call it one… it’s basically liquid lipstick!).
I would not suggest the stain/gloss combo. I have the full-size Indian Red, and it stays on extremely well. You don’t really need the gloss. The gloss is what takes away the stain’s staying power.
I love the color, but this has no staying power, alas.
Mine lasted a few hours – typical time for any lipstick/gloss, but it’s definitely not a longwearing product.
Oooooh! I’ve always wanted that one! Is it much like Mac’s ProLong Wears?
Hi MariahGem,
Nope, it’s not. I know they say it’s a stain, but it really isn’t. It’s more of a liquid lipstick and gloss – it doesn’t have any longwearing power to it for me!
That’s such a lovely colour! I was actually thinking about getting it from Sephora, but the online “swatches” are a little freaky, especially the gloss.
Do you think it would work on darker skintones?
I definitely think it would work well on darker skintones!
I love your lips, they are so beautiful!
That color looks really good one you!
Btw, I borrowed a picture from your site, the one with the red sparkling lips, that I used to link to your site. Of course I wrote that it was your picture, but if you mind, just let me know 🙂
Have a beautiful evening!
