NARS Lip Cover ($28.00 for 0.28 fl. oz.) is a new, limited edition formula that is supposed to have “rich and lustrous” color with shine. They are a liquid lipstick, but they are not the type that dry down to a fully flat, transfer-free finish. They stay emollient and can slide around, and they transfer a lot–but they are also pretty pigmented so despite color being left on coffee cups and the like, a lot of hangs around. They’re comfortable to wear, lightly hydrating, but they wear no longer than four to five hours. There was no discernible scent or taste to the formula. I didn’t have issues with the color feathering or bleeding on me, but the formula definitely has the slip that may make it a possibility for those who tend to experience that with their lip products!

NARS Do Not Disturb Lip Cover ($28.00 for 0.28 fl. oz.) is described as a “vivid orange-red.” It’s a bold, bright, medium-dark red-orange with warm undertones and a moderate shine. It had rich, opaque coverage, and the consistency was lightweight, spreadable, and applied with even coverage. The color lasted for five hours and left only the barest stain behind.

NARS Members Only Lip Cover ($28.00 for 0.28 fl. oz.) is described as a “crimson.” It’s a medium-dark red with cool, bluish undertones and a natural sheen. It was intensely pigmented with full color coverage that went on evenly and smoothly without emphasizing lip lines or appearing streaky. The color stayed on well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.
