NARS Reimagines the Iconic The Multiple

NARS’ cult multi-use stick returns with a fresh formula, 12 new shades and the same effortless versatility that made it iconic.

 

In beauty, there’s something irresistible about a product that can do it all. Multi-use sticks are the unsung heroes of any make-up bag—they save space, streamline routines, and deliver maximum impact with minimum effort. Perfect for busy mornings, spontaneous plans, or travel, these versatile wonders work across cheeks, lips, and eyes to create a cohesive, polished look in seconds—a streamlined approach to looking instantly put-together.

 

Few products capture this effortless versatility quite like The Multiple from NARS. Originally launched in 1996, it was inspired by a Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot where François Nars created an entire face look in minutes using a single lipstick shade. That moment redefined how make-up could be worn, introducing the concept of one product that could work seamlessly across the face.

Today, The Multiple returns in a modernised formula with 12 vibrant shades designed to flatter every mood, skin tone, and occasion. The cream-to-powder texture glides on effortlessly, melts into the skin, and sets with a soft-focus finish that blurs and perfects. Coverage is buildable, from a sheer wash to bold, high-impact colour, while the long-lasting formula promises up to 16 hours of wear on cheeks and remains water- and sweat-resistant.

 

The design has also evolved. A sleeker bullet shape allows for precise application, from sweeping over cheekbones to pressing onto lips or blending across eyelids. Infused with peach kernel oil for nourishment and rhubarb root extract for antioxidant protection, it’s a product that not only looks beautiful but feels comfortable on the skin.

Out of the 12 shades, three stand out as highlight picks from the new line-up:

 

Sex Appeal

A soft peach that radiates understated allure, bringing warmth without overpowering. On cheeks, it delivers a healthy flush; on lids, it adds a subtle brightness that opens up the eyes. Perfect for everyday wear or paired with a statement lip or eye.

 

Orgasm Crave

This peachy pink with gold pearl is a luminous nod to NARS’ most iconic shade family. The shimmer catches the light softly, never crossing into glittery territory. Tap it over cheekbones, dab it on lips, and sweep it over lids for a fresh, glowing monochrome look that works from day to night.

 

Behave

A soft pink that strikes a balance between playful and polished. It brings a youthful freshness to the complexion and blends seamlessly for a subtle pop of colour. Works beautifully with both neutral and cool-toned make-up.
