I have a fetish that borders on the insane- Lipsticks.
To be more precise, I have this unyielding lust for dark red, highly pigmented, matte lipsticks. There is something about the color deep ruby red that emanates decadence, sensuality, as well as a nostalgic whiff of old Hollywood glamour.

I might be a beginner to the world of makeup, but this
intense craving for lip lacquers is definitely a natural extension of who I am.
One day when I am lain, I would have my Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Mascate go into the dark with me. I simply refuse to go without it- it is unthinkable to see any man part with a piece of his soul.

What is so good about Nars Pure Matte Lipsticks then?
Anyone who is acquainted with matte lipsticks would know that this special genre of lip products has the most undesirable trait of drying up one’s lips (making it feel and look prune-like).
Nars Pure Matte Lipsticks on the other hand, have the most moisturizing formula ever, thanks to the inclusion of wild mango butter. Upon using this God-sent wonder, I never again felt like my mouth was morphing into some kind of prune-like hybrid. Goodbye raisin pouts!

Apart from its “least drying” virtue, it is also an angel to apply. Some other brands come up with matte lipsticks that are so dry, people find it a pain to put on. You know, all the tugging and pulling at the lips. I never had this problem with my Nars Pure Matte Lipstick, for its velvety texture translates into sheer gliding-on pleasure. Not to mention, it is so very pigmented and opaque in color- unleash your inner femme fatale with just one swipe!
As with many matte lipsticks I have, Nars pure matte
lipsticks are very longwearing. I can eat all the greasy burgers I care to
have, drink my way through my every day dosage of full fat coke, yet never
worry about it looking horrid. Longwearing (lasts more than 6 hours on me), it
also never feathers, bleeds or stains. A true Objet d’art!
Moving on to the issue of color, I am an Asian with
sun-kissed skin, so I belong to the sect of “warm-toned reds”. To make things
more complicated, I am very particular about my scarlets, only going after dark
reds that are neutral (neither warm or cool), or brown-based. Nars Pure Matte Lipstick
in Mascate falls into the former category
(a neutral- toned true red) and is a decadent looking, glamorous deep
red. It is beyond a doubt, my
classic rouge, which goes with anything I wear.
What made me buy my Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Mascate in
the first place? I was looking for matte reds that would work on people with
colored skin (No, I am not a racist!!!). Then I came across this photo. It was
then that I knew I just had to buy whatever the model was wearing on her
ethereally perfect pout.
A slight drawback though, as with many other Nars products,
its Pure Matte Lipsticks are quite pricey, this time perhaps even more so,
given the miniscule quantity ($25 for 0.07 oz). However, it's certainly worth your money- I'm definitely getting another when this tube is done.
