I got this product as a gift and at first I was so excited to use it. The shade was a pretty hue of rosy pink and it had good lasting power (however there were times when it left my lips dry so I had to apply lipbalm underneath). Problem was that after I kind of gave it a break for two to three months tops, it became solid hard that I even had a hard time using a lip brush on it! Quite bit disappointing, I must say.

This was my first Nars lipstick purchase. I bought this on Saturday and returned it today. I wore it twice and both times it felt dry on my lips and chapped them. The first time I wore it w/out lip balm. The second time I wore it with lip balm underneath and it still chapped my lips. I love Nars lip glosses and had been wanting to try their lipsticks but after this I'll stick with their lip glosses only. The tube it came in though was cute!

Catfight is a mauve-soft-purple-pink shade. It applies easily and is not drying at all. The finish is a semi-matte satin and I find it long lasting. This is a good, safe shade for the office and lovely to wear just about anywhere. I can see this appealing to many and working with many skin tones. I'm a NARS Syracuse and it's flattering on my deep, warm skin tone although it's probably best on cooler tones. I love to pair this with NARS Chihuahua lip gloss on top. I prefer to wear this in the spring or summer months.

My first Nars lipstick ever and I love it! Since I have bought some more but this one is just the best for me.
I will be honest it is a pain to use, as many stated it's quite a dry formulation it doesn't slide on your lips. i wouldn't try to apply it with a brush because it wouldn't transfer on the lips.
If your lips are well moisturized and not chapped it looks gorgeous.
It was a mat finish but not chalky just very sofisticated. On me the colour is a cool dark pink with hints of blue/purple, for fair skin it's a beautiful colour.
Because the formulation is so dry it's very long lasting even if you eat or drink it will still last 4 to 5 hours without touching up.
The packaging is so cute, a little squared nars tube with that tipical rubber feel it doesn't get as dirty as the eyeshadows but don't leave it in your purse just like that.
The price is high (25 euro) for such a little lipstick for me in Belgium (i have to buy it from France) it's in the same price range as the Chanel, Lancome and others but there you get more product.
Because i love the colour so much, it lasts on me a lot longer than others I would definetely buy it again.

This lipstick is a matte, kind of a more darker pink, mauve color and i really like the color
Here's the downside: It is SO dry. If you wear this with chapped lips then you will die. And i don't think it's that pigmented either.
But i like the scent of it, im pretty sure you can't really tell, but I can smell this really light lime scent of, which doesn't really bother me but I wouldn't repurchase this lipstick again.

I am having a new love affair with Nars lipsticks. Catfight was one of four that I had a friend get me from Sephora. Of the four, it is probably my least favourite mostly because of the formula.

I agree with everyone else that the formula is very, very dry. I find it impossible to put on my lips by itself. To use I have to put on something like clear babylips, then catfight and then more babylips.

The colour in itself is quite nice and looks lovely with my fair skin/blonde hair. I often find it hard to wear neutral/browny lipsticks because they wash me out. I don't know how better to describe it but this one is pinky/mauve but with a definited beige-y undertone. It was more neutral and darker than I expected from the tube & website. It suits me quite well. It is understated and elegant and it definitely wasn't bad. Even so, I would probably not purchase again unless they changed the formula and I suspect that there might be similar colours in the Nars range that suit me just as well with a better feel.

My absolute fav lipstick of all time. As in, can't live w/o it.

It's a cool mauve pink. Sophisticated & just the right point between natural & made up. Gorgeous on me, a pale Asian.

Yeah it can be drying, but I don't find that a problem. (Just exfoliate/moisturize more!) I think anything more moisturizing would decrease the incredible lasting power of this. I have found no other lipstick to last as long on my lips.

Please don't ever discontinue this...

Catfight is a beautiful dusty mauve color however it is super drying. Make sure you exfoliate your lips before wearing. This color is also not unique. I have a cheap L'oreal lipstick which is a close dupe and cheaper. I'm returning this.

This seemed like such a nice colour in store, but once I went home and actually applied this stuff on my lips, the honeymoon ended. This stuff is extremely drying. It almost hurts to drag the lipstick across your lips. I wanted a matte (or semi-matte) lipstick that was still moisturizing so I decided to pay the premium for a NARS lipstick since their formulation is supposed to be super moisturizing or whatever. Meh. Wish I hadn't wasted my money on this. (I do like Dolce Vita though, much smoother and feels better on the lips. My hunt for a moisturizing matte lipstick continues.)

I just got my first NARS lippie and I think this one is overrated. I love the packaging. But even the semi matte is not highly pigmented, but slightly frosted - I can't really put this on easily without having lip balm as a base, too dry! Catfight is obviously not the best pink. I think MAC's Faux is way better.
In short, with the price, I'm disappointed!

i just bought this from Sephora. You know as soon as I got in the car, I put this on. It is sooooooooo dry I could barely get it to cover my lips! bleh! honestly I was so excited to get this product but it so dry i feel like it is just gonna flake off. I am so in love with the color and the packaging of course, but I'm not sure if this is a keeper or not...

I am in love with NARS lipsticks.
loving the name of the colours, the urban and small packaging with no finger stain, great colour selection for my skin tone ..etc etc
I wouldn't say they are the best. Indeed Nars lipsticks are all a bit dry to me. but since I prefer matte, I can't complain too much about this problem.
Catfight is one my favorite pinky taupe colour I have every tried. It makes me looking very girly but in a way sophiscated. As mentioned, it is quite dry but it is not too bad if you put primer first.
the colour is actually very similar as Bangkok from Nars pure matte and Sex Machine from Velvet Matte pencil. sex machine is the darkest, then catfight and bangkok is the palest one.
I own 3 of them and I would say Bangkok is the best colour on me
but for the price and value, go for catfight if you also like this kind of colour.

This is my first NARS Lipstick, but not my first NARS product. I have light-medium skin but with medium-dark berry lips (almost purple), so this lipstick didn't show up particularly well on my lips. However, I did like the color. I think it only went on smoothly when I put chapstick or a lip primer on beforehand. It lasted awhile, about 6-8 hours with no touch-ups. I liked it as a product, the only reason I wouldn't repurchase it is because it isn't the color for my lips. I kept it though because its a pretty mauve-pink with blue undertones. I believe it is a Satin Finish (don't quote me on that) and it can come off as a little sheer on the lips. This would not be suitable for darker lips. I think it is appropriate with anyone for fair-light skin who doesn't like drawing lots of attention to their lips.

Great cool toned pink lipstick with purple undertones. Very pretty and long wearing though a little drying. I get lots of compliments when I wear this lipstick. Would recommend if you love pink.

First buy of NARS lipstick and I do love it! The color is just fabulous. The staying power is way better than anything else that I've tried. However, the only downside, as the previous reviewer mentioned, is that it's extremely drying. I have a hard time dragging it along my lips and it's not as creamy as I thought it'd be. I have to put a light layer of clear lip balm to apply the lipstick. I will repurchase though because the color is just beautiful and the staying power is superb to any other lipstick I've tried.

If you have very fair (Irish) skin like I do, like wearing pinkish/rose shades of lipstick, and you have very thin lips, or lips that you otherwise don’t want to draw tons of attraction to, this is a really good lipstick.

First off…the formulation: this is creamy and rich without being overly-slick or slippery. It is thick enough to stay on for a decent amount of time.

The color: it’s a very muted pink…so muted it’s almost a whitish pink frost. It’s great for thin lips because the color almost ‘masks’ your lips, while at the same time giving a hint of pink color and a slight frost.

This color is may work well with other skin tones too, but obviously I can’t speak to that. I’m just saying that in my instance, it works really well.

I am a huge fan of Catfight. I've gone through 4 or 5 tubes since first buying it several years ago during a NARS makeup event.

I will agree that it's a little drying but the color on my lips is so worth it. Like another reviewer said, just use a lip primer or apply a colorless gloss or balm to your lips before applying.

Not a huge fan of NARS lippies, this is one of the more nicer colours to me. A nice laidback pink colour. Colour wise it reminds me a little of faux from MAC but more mauvy (therefore not as nude). Nice colour that i can wear daily & look complementing on the lips.


The formula is a little drying though. Although helps to stay put - you kind of need to drag it through your lips a few times to get the full colour payoff. I'm a little concerned that the dragging can stretch my lips & cause premature wrinkling on my lips. Later in the day, I have slight dry pieces on my lips.


However, over all it's a great colour: My favourite by NARS =)

This is another MLBB for me -- it is a rosy/mauvey skin toned lippie which is semi matte. I love the semi matte's cause they are long lasting on my lips.

The trick to this is you must use a lip balm underneath and then again on top if you are not using a gloss.

I used this color a lot last year when my hair was in the blonde period.. I did not try it since the Red changes and had almost forgotten it. I tried this on again today and used a very very light rose blush and it looked perfect.
At my age, and with all the products I use on others, I sometimes forget to try things on myself.

This taught me a lesson -- I must be more adventurous with my makeup and not fall into the cliches of red hair or blonde hair.

It works if I want it to!

A very generous NARS MA picked out this color for me and gave it to me free when I bought my first NARS blush. It's a great everyday color on me, just a bit darker than my lips, and very pigmented so it lasts a long time. It's a little dry, but I wear lip primer under it.
