NARS Mitzi Lipstick
One Sheer, Shimmery Lipstick Coming Right Up!
NARS Mitzi Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “sheer muted strawberry pink with soft shimmer.” It’s a soft, rosy brown with a natural sheen. Chanel Superstition looks similar on the lips, though it more golden-shimmered and less pink-toned. Clarins Rosewood is more opaque. MAC Viva Glam V is pinker. Guerlani Rose Ensoleille is darker, pinker.
This shade is part of NARS’ Sheer lipstick range, which is designed as sheer color with long-wear and has a hydrating formula. Mitzi is lightweight, sheer, and wears three and a half hours on me, which isn’t bad for such a sheer shade. This particular lipstick imparts more shimmer than actual color, so the more pigmented your lips are, the less you’ll notice your lip color changing, but you will see a soft, frosted sheen/shimmer on them instead. It was lightly hydrating but not a full-on moisturizing lipstick; after wearing it twice in a row, I needed lip balm an hour later. Â It is scent- and taste-free.

You look lovely in this lipstick! Won’t work for me though, my lips are too pigmented. May I know what blush are you wearing?
I would rather wear Korres lip butters to achieve a look like this and also keep my lips well moisturized and conditioned at the same time.
Mitzi was one of the first lipsticks I ever bought. The color is really nice, but it looks so frosty on me. Completely unwearable.
I like it! Then again, the more nude/neutral, the better for me 🙂
This is lovely on you! A very soft and feminine shade. I could see a color like this replacing a nude lipstick (which I find so difficult to make work) in my makeup routine.
You are so lucky because I feel that your coloring makes it easy for you to look nice in a lot of colors. Still, I think colors like this complement you more than any others.
I agree with Liz. This is probably the most flattering lipstick on you (that I can recall).
I’m surprised – I hated it on me, personally!
Really? That’s funny. I meant that I personally think you look best in rosy-brownish lip colors. Not sure if I’m making sense.
I was just surprised to hear it 🙂
This is exactly my kind of lipstick–sheer, pinky-nude, easy. 😀
I like the colour of the bullet but it is so sheer on the lips I almost don’t understand….
It is a sheer lipstick – that’s the whole point! 🙂
LOL – I know, I know. I do have a few sheers. Due to budget limitations I think extra hard about practicality of a product now.
It is, but on someone like me, very pale with lips with very little color, the sheer pink in it is perfect. I get more compliments. But if you have pigmented lips you probably won’t like it. As I said above, I keep backups of this shade. Most lipsticks that people describe as MLBB on me look ridiculous, as bright as a red or wine…
Agreed Jessi, that is a very good point.
I was having a moment of “mom-ness” thinking why on earth would I pay that much for something a lip balm would do? I do have some pigment so it would get lost on my lips i think.
It seems to me that this is somewhat of an extravagant purchase for a lipstick that looks like a simple shimmery lip balm!
i like it, but it’s really basic. I feel like somewhere I have to have a fairly sheer neutral lipstick, and I’m thinking maybe I have a Revlon that’s similar or something.
This shade looks so beautiful on you. But unfortunately will become invisible on my lips.
This has been my everyday shade forever-I have very pale lips, and it’s perfect for me on my fair skin. This is one lipstick I keep back ups of, and other than Chanel Metallic Vamp (dc’ed) the only tube I have ever completed.
No wonder I like this one- I like MAC’s Viva Glam 5 too. Is Mitzi sold at Sephora? I just looked through Sephora’s Nars lipsticks and although I could have missed it, I didn’t see Mitzi.
I think it’s just on NARS’ site!
Heh, that’s my mom’s name and I think she might like this color. This’ll be a good extra Christmas present.
You know this lipstick caught my eyes…Mitzi is a rare name especially for an Asian American girl. I think this color would also look great with my skin color….Will be purchasing this…
