Éphélide

NARS Éphélide Lip Tint ($26.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It’s a new, limited edition formula described as a “natural hint of color with extremely comfortable wear.” It medium pigmentation that applied fairly evenly across the lips. The product had a thinner, wetter texture going on that immediately developed into a smooth, non-tacky, and gel-like consistency on the lips. It wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating. There was no discernible scent or taste to the formula.

Double Decker

NARS Double Decker Lip Tint ($26.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a soft, medium red with warm undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage that went on evenly and made my lips look stained and glossy. The consistency was smooth, non-tacky, and not too thick or too thin, so it didn’t move around a lot but still felt comfortable to wear. It actually felt more like balm than a gloss, despite having quite a bit of shininess. This shade lasted for four hours on me and was moisturizing.

Promise

NARS Promise Lip Tint ($26.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a dark berry with cool undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had medium pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips and didn’t settle into my lip lines. The consistency felt thin and creamy as I initially applied it, but as soon as I spread the gloss across my lips, it felt smoother, more gel-like, and rather plush. This shade stayed on well for five hours and was hydrating over time.
