NARS Cosmetics Lipstick 3.5g - Banned Red
Product Details
NARS Lipstick in Banned Red is a muted, medium-dark coppery red with warm undertones — often described as a "mulled wine" shade. The rich satin finish glides effortlessly across the lips with mostly opaque, single-stroke coverage. The cushiony, pigment-rich formula stays comfortable throughout wear while delivering NARS's signature pigment payoff.
About NARS
Founded in 1994 by French make-up artist and photographer François Nars, NARS Cosmetics built its reputation on minimalist black packaging, daring shade names and a singular focus on flattering, photo-ready colour. The brand is now part of the Shiseido group and remains a favourite among professional artists for its blendable formulas and cult lipstick range.
Key features
- Satin finish — luxurious sheen between matte and gloss
- Near-opaque single-swipe coverage — saturated colour in one stroke
- Nourishing formula — enriched with Moringa Seed Oil and Passion Fruit Seed Oil to condition lips
- Long-wearing — pigment stays vibrant for hours

Shade
Banned Red is a warm, muted coppery red — sophisticated and grown-up rather than fire-engine bright. The mulled-wine character makes it particularly flattering in autumn and winter, beautiful against warm and neutral undertones.
Who it's for
Banned Red suits anyone who wants a polished, mature red lipstick that isn't a bright statement — rather a deep, refined "wine red" with warmth. Ideal for autumn-winter wear, dinner dates and dressed-up office days.
How to apply
- Exfoliate lips lightly to remove flakiness, then apply a thin layer of balm and blot
- Line lips with a complementary red or warm-red pencil to define the shape
- Apply Banned Red directly from the bullet, working from the centre of the lips outwards
- Press lips together to distribute; blot and reapply for longer wear
