Bloodflower

NARS Bloodflower Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium red with subtle, neutral-to-cool undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a smooth, thin consistency that applied without dragging and adhered well to lips without moving during wear. The lipstick stayed on well for over six hours, left a moderate reddish stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Carnal Carnation

NARS Carnal Carnation Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark fuchsia pink with subtle, cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation (it was marketed as “sheer”) with a lightweight, lightly emollient texture that melted and became easier to work with as it warmed up against my lips. The color went on evenly without emphasizing my lip lines. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating, and this shade wore well for four and a half hours on me.

Larkspur

NARS Larkspur Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium purple with warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that covered my lips evenly and smoothly–it looked almost liked a glossy stain more than a typical lipstick. The texture was lightweight without being clingy and had slight slip but did not slide around while worn. It lasted for four hours and was non-drying.
