Oh matte lipstick, how I love thee! I’ve become more enamored with matte lipstick lately than ever before, and NARS “Peloponnese” Pure Matte Lipstick is fueling my fire. It’s a stunning pink-nude shade with a fair amount of golden shimmer in it. It is so flattering and glowing, yet it manages to stay sophisticated by leaving a matte finish behind. This is part of NARS Fall 2013 releases, so be sure to keep reading!

Peloponnese is described on the NARS website as “ginger pink.” It’s sort of a hybrid between pink and nude/beige, and it has a lot of golden shimmer in it. I wasn’t expecting the shimmer in the lipstick but it really adds the ideal touch to this shade to make it unique and flattering. I love that the finish is matte, although it is a bit dry feeling like most matte lipsticks. The golden reflect this shade gives off is stunning and reminiscent of their famed “Orgasm” blush. It’s sort of like NARS “Orgasm” Blush distant cousin…close in golden reflect, yet it has much more of a nude-brown tone to it.
I love, love, LOVE this lipstick so much. It’s stunning. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do. The shimmer and golden reflects in it are so flattering and really light up your lips and complexion. The matte finish keeps it sophisticated enough for everyday wear.
I highly recommend this shade if you’re into matte lipsticks. Besides the lipstick feeling just slightly dry (which most matte lipsticks are), the formula is perfect. It applies evenly to the lips and it doesn’t feel gritty, even with the shimmer in it. In fact, once I apply this shade, I almost feel like I’m not wearing lipstick at all. It really stays put for hours because of the matte finish.
NARS “Peloponnese” Pure Matte Lipstick is available at NARS counters nationwide, as well as online at NARS website. Each lipstick retails for $26.00 USD. I know I’m going to be reaching for this lip color on a daily basis for now on…it’s that spectacular.
