NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Bangkok

I will openly admit that I am not one to bow down to seasonal beauty trends, I wear coral beauty products all year round and despite most reaching for light coverage foundation in the summer months I am a full coverage gal 'til I die! Okay maybe I'm being a little over the top but I do enjoy matte lips all year round and my favourite matte lipstick line is NARS Pure Matte Lipstick's with my newest addition being NARS Bangkok.

Much like the majority of products within the NARS line up this lipstick comes sleekly packaged within a slim black casing with the now iconic NARS logo featured on the lipstick case too. Unlike other NARS products this doesn't have the typical rubberised feel but does still enjoy dirt and fingerprints quite like no other but it's nothing a quick wet wipe can't solve.

NARS Bangkok is perhaps best described as a dusty pink that is pretty similar to MAC Angel when applied only less stark which makes it a better choice for those with medium to deep complexions.
NARS Bangkok is a light blue toned pink that has a slight purple leaning that makes the over all tone dusky,
like I said it pretty much is a matte version of MAC Angel and is a great everyday shade in my opinion.
The pigmentation is excellent with one quick swipe proving full opaque coverage that feels creamy on the lips.

The NARS Pure Matte Lipstick formula is nothing but a treat for those like myself who enjoy matte formulations but hate the drying effect some seem to have. This formula glides on the lips with each, feels almost buttery then settles to a soft velvet finish without clinging to any dry areas or encouraging the lips to dry out further which is currently my main lip problem in general.
NARS Pure Matte lipsticks in my experience don't slip or slide throughout the day nor do they have a tendency to feather or bleed but stay in place for up to 4 hours per application.
If you are a fan of matte lipsticks I urge you to try this formula out for yourself as it is one of the best non-drying matte lip products I have ever had the pleasure to use.
