Review for: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, Cruella more...
I am not much of a lip stick person, it often sets oddly on my top lip and almost looks like I have a different lipstick or shade around my cupids bow (I think I've used too much chapstick and now when I dont constantly put it on my lips are dry). I also dont often wear lipstick because of this so I have a hard time feeling comfortable in bold colors, especially red. I have a hard time finding a red I feel good in (I'm into darker shades with a more purple tint) This shade of red is absolutely stunning and goes well with many different skin tones, I was shocked at how effortlessly this glided on the lips (thinking since it was more like a chunky pencil it would be dry and hard to get on, not at all!) The formula is very light, almost like you have nothing on your lips and doesnt feel drying at all. This made my lips look so much smoother too. I am actually excited to wear this out!
Also I think this may have been one of the Sephora birthday gifts one year? Otherwise not sure how I got it because its not something I would usually pick up lol but Im so glad I have it.

Review for: LET'S GO CRAZY more...
Great color!! I got the Let’s go Crazy as a free sample from Sephora. I feel like it weirdly makes me eyes look more green! I tried wiping this off to try a different shade and it didn’t come off.... this will definitely last you through the night without the worry of re-applying. He only thing I don’t like is the thickness of the crayon. I like more precision. I had to use foundation around the edges to clean it up a bit.
Review for: DOLCE VITA more...
Nars Matte Lip pencils are some of my favorite lipsticks. They're very long wearing and the formula is very smooth. Nars has a wide variety to choose from which is a bonus. It has a decent shelf life but you'll know when you have it too long because it starts to smell like crayons. Overall, I'd recommend - I completely forgot about this product. I'm headed to buy a new one now :)
Review for: Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Tortola more...
These are by far my favorite lip liners Such an amazing brand. The formula is super comfortable no matter which products your using. The lip liners are so amazing. The pigmentation of the lipliners are to die for. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to buy an amzing lip product that wouldnt disappoint. The formula is super comfortable. The shade range is so gorgeous their is literally a shade for every skin color. The packaging is something amazing to proudly display on your vanity. If you dont own any nars lip liners your missing out formula is consistent and so creamy.
Review for: Cruella more...
When I want to wear a red lip I tend to reach for this lip pencil. I like that it is a pencil because it makes lining your lips so much easier - which is important for red or other bold colors. I love the consistency of this product as well because it is matte so it stays on your lips for a while but it's not a drying matte that you could see every texture on your lips, it's very comfortable. The shade is beautiful as well, it's a true red with a more neutral to cool undertone so it helps to whiten the teeth.
Review for: Cruella more...
The most beautiful velvety smooth, blue-toned red. Perfect for making your teeth look pearly white. My only con to this product is that they are difficult to sharpen. You have to stick them in your freezer, then sharpen. It’s not good if you’re in a pinch. You also need a good, quality, large sharpener for this. I wish this had an automatic built in sharpener inside. I could give it 5 stars!
Review for: Cruella more...
I got a set of 2 from Sephora for my birthday gift. I really liked the pink shade and the red shade. The pink shade matches many different skin tones. I have fair skin and it looks like a nudey pink on my skin. It is very creamy, easy to apply, not drying, and lasts a good amount of time. I do have to retouch after eating or drinking, but it does fade nicely before I have tp reapply. The red is very pretty too. I also get asked what shade I'm wearing with this one. It has a blue undertone. It is a little more drying so make sure your lips are hydrated and not flakey. I would say it does last longer on the lips than the pink shade, but it does tend to get crumbly towards the end of the day if your lips are not prepped and hydrated beforehand.
The only thing I don't like is having to sharpen them. It makes it hard to carry them in purse because they do need sharpening quite often. Overall, these are great lip pencils and I would highly recommend then.

Review for: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, Cruella more...
This is an amazing formula for a lipstick!! As a lip liner, definitely a NO. It’s too “chubby” to get a precise lining of the lips, but if you use another lip liner and then use this as a lipstick: you. are. golden! This shade is everything too! It’s a deep red that makes your teeth look so white! And it really looks and feels like velvet on your lips!!
Review for: BOLERO more...
I love love love this pencil as a liner or for layering underneath a lipstick. It’s a little too dry for me to wear as a stand alone which is why it’s not a 5/5 for me. Such a pretty color! Peachy pink nude. My favorite combo is this with Nars Barbarella lipstick over the top...good staying power when you layer them up. I always have this in my purse...
Review for: DOLCE VITA, DAMNED, Cruella, WALKYRIE more...
I purchased two sets of the mini NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils from Sephora after being told by a coworker how amazing they are. She was right! They glide on nicely and have great staying power. Damned is my favorite color, but Dolce Vita is a great "your lips but better" shade. Cruella is a classic red. Walkyrie is my least favorite of the four. It had some brown undertones that didn't work with my skin tone. I definitely plan on purchasing full-sized versions and trying more colors!

Does this stay all day? Or do you have to touch up frequently?

I rarely have to touch up with this! It lasts a very long time. But if you do have to touch up, it is very quick and easy
I've been looking for the perfect red, matte lip. I've heard good things about this one and I love Nars products! How long does this stay on with average wear?

It lasts for hours, even with drinking and eating. It's my favorite red lippie!
What's your favourite shade?
Is it similar to a lipstick? I was looking for a nice red lipstick for new year's eve. I was recommended this but it seems more like a pencil.

I use it as a lipstick. It's a chunky pencil, but soft. I use it by itself since I got it as a sample. Cruella is an amazing red.
Is there a base I need to use before putting this NARS lip pencil on? The color fades rather quickly.
