NARS Get Lucky & Rocket Queen Powermatte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

NARS Get Lucky Powermatte Lipstick

Get Lucky

NARS Get Lucky Powermatte Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, reddish-berry with cool undertones and a matte finish.

  • Opaque color coverage
  • Lightweight, velvety texture (silicone-like), thin and a little clingy
  • Applied evenly but can emphasize lip texture slightly
  • Transfer-resistant until a meal
  • Long-wearing until a meal (6 hours but not 10  as marketed), non-drying

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

These are the dupes the editor has pulled but not yet rated and officially entered.

Formula Overview

$34.00/0.05 oz. - $680.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "10-hour wear" that has "one swipe, instant payoff" that is "transfer-resistant" and "lightweight" with "all-day comfort." Those are some big claims, and while I think the formula is solid--lightweight, longer-wearing, and semi-opaque to opaque in coverage--they don't quite last 10 hours (more like five to six hours, which is good just not ridiculously long as claimed).

They have a lightweight, more of a velvety-cream feel that helped them apply comfortably without dragging and be somewhat forgiving of lip texture, but I would recommend proper exfoliation prior to wearing these. They were somewhat transfer-resistant but lost most of that resistance after a meal, and they tended not to last that well through a meal in general (part of why they don't get to 10 hours). The formula felt more non-drying to barely-hydrating, so comfortable as claimed.

Worth mentioning, they did not swatch so well on my arm but applied significantly better on my lips, which is something I have found to be true with more silicone-heavy lipstick formulas. They had no discernible taste or scent.

Note: The lipsticks are in a slim-style bullet, which is typically much smaller than the average lipstick (often around 0.07 oz. for a slim lipstick vs. 0.10 oz. for a standard tube), but these are 0.05 oz. a pop, so they are quite small.
