NARS Morocco, Pigalle, Catfight Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Morocco
NARS Morocco Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, muted orange with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that adhered evenly and applied smoothly across my lips with just a touch of tugging.
The texture was incredibly lightweight, thin but didn’t feel clingy, and had good adhesion so it lasted longer. The lipstick had a firmer, stiffer feel in the bullet, though it softened up after a few uses and never tugged to the point of discomfort. It wore well for five hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating to me.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.12 oz. - $216.67 Per Ounce
NARS has reformulated their core lipstick range, which now includes 72 shades across three finishes: matte, sheer, and satin. The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly and evenly with a light feel" that is "long-lasting" and "resistant to bleeding and feathering." The sheer finish has "subtle, sheer color that shines," while the satin finish has "creamy rich color" and the matte finish has "intense color with a velvety finish."
The matte finish has a very thin, featherweight feel to it, but they didn't feel clingy or too prone to dragging during application, though they were definitely a firmer texture in the tube. There was enough glide from the inclusion of dimethicone (first ingredient for the matte finish) that went on evenly, felt velvety but didn't feel as powder-like as some of the other more silicone-heavy matte lipstick formulas that have been released in the last couple of years. Most shades were pigmented and nearly opaque to opaque. The wear ranged from three to six hours with deeper, richer shades staying on a bit longer and leaving slight stains. They were comfortable to wear but felt more non-drying than particularly hydrating.
The satin finish has more slip, feels thicker (though not actually thick or heavy) compared to the matte finish, and of course, there was subtle to light shine/sheen. They applied smoothly, comfortably, and for the most part, went on evenly and didn't sink noticeably into my lip lines but there was some variance between shades. They were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with four to six-hour wear that was lightly hydrating.
The sheer finish had coverage that ranged from semi-sheer to true medium coverage but most had some translucency to them, which gave them a sheerer finish. I found most of the shades I tried were buildable to some degree. The texture was a bit firmer, but they felt more emollient and "melted" a bit more against my lips than I recall the original line of lipsticks doing. Some shades applied well with even application and were flattering on, but there were a few that sank more noticeably into my lip lines. This finish tended to wear between three and five hours.
I don't have many of NARS' original lipsticks in my stash (I have mostly Audacious as they haven't been releasing many in the core range) to compare to. The matte finish was definitely thinner, more matte, and had a velvetier look on lips compared to the original which had a subtle sheen to it. The satin finish seemed a bit more pigmented and not quite as luminous/glossy as the previous formula, while the sheer finish was creamier, more emollient, and was easier to apply. It didn't feel like a vastly different formula, but it felt a bit easier to work with (smoother, more emollient but still lighterweight and thin, far less slip than any of the Audacious range) and was more comfortable to wear across the board for me.
I didn't notice any scent or taste, though there is "fragrance (parfum)" listed in the ingredients--it smelled neutral, not waxy but I just didn't get any scent.

Pigalle
NARS Pigalle Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, rosy brown with warmer undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was richly pigmented where the color applied evenly and smoothly in a single stroke.
The texture felt lightweight, thin but not clingy, and was comfortable to apply and to wear. There was a smidgen of emphasis of my lip lines, but this was only noticeable in the close-up photos and not so much in person. It lasted nicely for five hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Catfight
NARS Catfight Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, muted pink with subtle, warm undertones and very fine golden pearl with a dusting of gold micro-sparkle. It had a drier, stiffer feel to it when I applied it directly from the tube, which resulted in some dragging and tugging. I’d highly recommend applying in short strokes, which was more comfortable but also yielded more even coverage.
The lipstick felt lightweight, thin, and clung slightly to my lips with some of the color separating along my deeper lip lines. It had good color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. This shade stayed on well for four and a half hours but felt a little drying over time.
