Then, I was introduced to NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment, $26, and it completely changed my mind. I was at an event celebrating the launch of the product -- held at the rooftop bar of a swanky downtown NYC hotel -- and a makeup artist chose Under My Thumb (a deep burgundy) just for me. She applied it carefully -- the pointed tip applicator makes it easy to simultaneously line and fill your lips -- and let it dry before handing me a mirror. I couldn't believe how much I loved it -- and it was a color I never would have picked for myself. Best of all, it felt like nothing. I couldn't help but snap a selfie before heading out to meet a friend for greasy Chinatown dumplings and an ice cream cone.
Four hours and many dumplings later, my Powermatte lip was still going strong without even a hint of wrinkly dryness. (If you've ever worn a liquid matte lipstick, you know how remarkable that is.) And that selfie is the most-liked Instagram photo I've ever posted. --Dawn Davis
