NARS Banned Red & Rosecliff Lipsticks

NARS Banned Red Lipstick

NARS Banned Red Lipstick ($27.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “mulled wine.” It’s a muted, medium-dark coppery red with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage with a lightweight, lightly creamy texture that applied well and yielded even application. On me, the color wore for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. Charlotte Tilbury Walk of Shame (P, $32.00) is darker (95% similar). NARS Mondore (LE, $25.00) is more shimmery, darker (95% similar). MAC Reddy to Go (P, $20.00) is darker, brighter (85% similar). Kat Von D Chula (P, $21.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). NARS Sandra (P, $32.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

NARS Rosecliff Lipstick ($27.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “soft rose.” It’s a muted, light-medium rosy pink with warm undertones and a soft shine. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a lightweight, thin consistency that tugs a little during application but isn’t really dry (just firmer in the tube). The color lasted for three hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. Bite Beauty Café (LE, $24.00) is less glossy (95% similar). Bite Beauty Hazelnut (P, $28.00) is darker (90% similar).
