NARS Matte Lipstick 3.5g - Hot Kiss
Product Details
NARS Matte Lipstick in Hot Kiss is a slightly cool-toned, dusty medium-dark mauve with a velvety matte finish. The shade balances pink and brown undertones into a sophisticated everyday mauve that flatters a wide spread of skin tones, while the moisturising matte formula stays comfortable on the lips without the dryness traditionally associated with matte finishes.
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
- Matte finish with velvet feel — intense pigment without flat-chalky appearance
- High-impact pigment — delivers full, opaque colour in a single sweep

Shade
Hot Kiss is a dusty mauve — medium-dark with cool undertones — flattering across most skin tones and particularly elegant on neutral and cool undertones. A versatile statement that reads as polished and daytime-appropriate while having enough depth for evening wear.
Who it's for
Hot Kiss suits anyone who wants a sophisticated mauve that isn't bubblegum-pink or overtly brown. It pairs naturally with smoky eyes, sculpted cheeks and tailored dressing, and adapts effortlessly from office to evening. The matte finish lets it photograph beautifully for occasions where you'll be in pictures.
How to apply
- Exfoliate lips lightly to remove flakiness, then apply a thin layer of balm and blot
- Line lips with a complementary mauve or neutral pencil to define the shape and prevent feathering
- Apply Hot Kiss directly from the bullet, working from the centre of the lips outwards
- Press lips together to distribute; blot and reapply for longer-wearing finish
