NARS Maltese Red Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, plummy brown with subtle, warm undertones and warmer copper and gold pearl. It had more of a frosted finish, as it was more matte and the shimmer wasn't as smooth as a true metallic finish would have been. The texture was thin, slightly firmer in the tube, so it tugged a bit during application, though not to the point of pain. It had medium to semi-opaque pigmentation in a single layer that could be built up to mostly opaque coverage; I noticed that it seemed to soften and give better coverage after a few uses, too. This shade stayed on nicely for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.
