Nars cosmetics was founded by Francois Nars a famous French photographer and renowned makeup artist. Nars launched the Cosmetics line with twelve lipsticks which sold at Barneys in New York in 1994.
Nars cosmetics has created various multi-use beauty and skin care products. One of their best selling and customer favorite product is the Lipstick.
The lipsticks are usually enriched with a vitamin that increases wearability and maintains a true color that is locked into place. Nars lipsticks impart a semi-matte color in order for the lips to be left with a full-bodied sheer finish and a velvety look.
The product has a gorgeously sheer formula which is infused with ingredients to improve the lips’ conditions. The long lasting, sheer color pigments have been shelved in the translucent formula to offer a sophisticated shine.
And the lightweight formula smoothly glides on. The patented blend of antioxidants and conditioners hydrate, protect and nourish lips.

Nars lipstick in Dolce Vita is a gorgeous shade. It is widely liked especially by light skinned ladies for its sheer dusty rose finish. The dolce vita is subtle not to mention very lady like. This product despite being a little pricey is unmatchable in quality and color richness in its finishes.
Packaging
The sheer lipstick product comes packaged in classic NARS packaging. A black cardboard box is the products outer covering, with details written in white and the brand name on it.
The lipstick is in Signature Nars Black tube which is rubberized on the outside and on the inside a matte black.
The brand’s name is printed on the cap in white and a shade name label at the bottom. The elegance and simplicity of the packaging top it all.

Pigmentation and Staying Power
This lipstick boasts of a very soft and rosy shade with a glossy finish. It is surely not for you if you are considering a lot of color on your lips. Since it is a sheer lipstick, it may be layered over and it is very buildable. It manages to cover the lips’ pigmentation to a great extent.

Thus there is the need to reapply.

Tips on Finding Perfect Nude Lipstick
Getting that perfect nude lipstick isn’t as easy as one would think. Using nude lipsticks that are too dark would make you look like you are working hard on making brown color lipstick happen, which in the ’90s way isn’t cool.
A lighter version of the nude lipsticks would make one start resembling the living dead.
First off knowing your skin tone is very important before trying to get yourself a nude type of lipstick.
Types of Skin Tones
Alabaster; this is a milky and fair skin tone. People with these type of skin tones should attempt on using a soft, dusty baby pink. Going for a beige nude lipstick would make one look horrible.
They should avoid the super opaque and flat nudes and use sheerer formula instead.
Fair Skin; Look for a rosy-beige nude lipstick. The skin and the nude lipsticks should often match, like in the fashion magazines. A separation and warmth between lips and skin would be appropriate in real life though.
Light Skin Tone; Warmer nude shade is preferable to ladies with light-skinned and marginally olive undertones.
Verdict
The Dolce Vita brand is classic since it works miracles for most women. The lipsticks are always looking appropriate and easy to wear.
Once one starts using the product, it’s not easy to go without it, since the product gets adapted to a variety of eye shadows and blushes.
Nars Dolce Vita Lipstick is the cashmere hoodie of the world of lipstick and every lady should get herself a cashmere hoodie.
