Review: NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment In ‘American Woman’ — Glossip Girl

Recently, a friend of mine commented that she only ever saw me in either bright or super dark lipsticks. After surveying my ridiculously large stash, I realised that she was absolutely right. Unlike most people, it seems that my comfort zone lies in bold colours. Since I hate to be stuck in a beauty rut, I made up my mind to find a shade that could be classified as a neutral or soft colour. Upon seeing the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in ‘American Woman’, I knew that I had met my match. Here is my review.

The lipstick comes in a matte black, rectangular tube. A transparent section down the middle gives a fair idea of the shade inside. The attached applicator is slimmer than most, which allowed the formula to reach every corner of my lips. Although it looks narrow, it definitely picks up enough product. The shade name is mentioned on a sticker beneath the tube.
