I loved these lip pencils. I got this as a sample from Sephora in Cruella and I loved it. The red looked great on my fair skin and I got tons of compliments on it. The sample lasted a year and that’s with regular use. The matte is long lasting but it doesn’t go on super smooth. You should make sure your lips are moisturizer and exfoliated and you’ll for sure need a mirror. Great product though and the pencil makes the precise application easy.
Review for: DOLCE VITA, DO ME BABY more...
I like this lip pencil, it is very creamy and looks very nice and pigmented when you apply it. I did find out that it works better with a lip liner because it does bleed a bit and needs something to stick to for it to last a long time. Without a liner, it doesn’t stay nearly as long as what I’m used to from my liquid lips. I like this formula tho. It’s very matte and pigmented, it just works best with a lip liner.
Review for: BAHAMA more...
I love this product as a beginner tool for those who do not yet makeup or like any color on their lips. I like the bahama tone for my medium skin tone because it's not too overpowering. Because you are to sharpen it, it lasts quite a long time.
Review for: DOLCE VITA more...
I really like this lip pencil, the color is a 'safe choice', it goes well with different types of make up. It makes my whole face looks more awake, if that make sense. And it also makes my teeth looks whiter. It could feel a little bit dry, but that is because it is a matte lip pencil. Over all, I like the color, its great to bring on trips.
Review for: DO ME BABY more...
I got this in my Sephora 500 point box along with other NARS products and SIS LET ME TELL YOU THIS IS SO COMFY ON THE LIPS. I live in Jersey where the weather is 50 one day in winter and -21 the next. My lips are so dry and cracked no matter what I do. I wore this on top of my dry lips and it did not dry them out at all and stayed on for HOURS.

Love love love love. The consistent NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil quality one would expect--not drying and long lasting. Often times in lip sets, I find myself reaching for some colours more than others but with this set, I can genuinely say that I adore all of the lip pencils in this collection. I am even considering purchasing another since it is limited edition.
My comments on the pencils, from lightest to darkest:
Bondage is my favourite deep nude brown at the moment. Gives you enough colour without being overpowering; suitable for daytime or nighttime looks.
Vicious is a playful pink shade that I think is comparable to Tarte Cabana Boy or NARS American Woman.
Spike is a vampy red plum colour. I find in certain lighting it leans more red, and in others it appears more plum. Regardless of which it is, I've received compliments every time I've worn it.
Chaos is the moodier sibling to Spike. On my pigmented lips, I find it has similar tones to Spike but this is the more dramatic version.

Review for: CRUELLA more...
The matte look these pencils give are so nice!It's long-lasting and the point allows for easy application. I like that you have to sharpen them because they last longer and are less messy. However, they are not moisturizing so you shouldn't apply on a dry lip.
'Cruella' is such a pretty shade and I usually wear it on top of Milani Color Statement Matte Lipstick 67 for the perfect red.

Love Nars his makeup first of all lipsticks are great this is a bit drying on the lip but I love the mat it looks like it stays in place and it gives the lip a perfect look if you're in the market for something new then give this a try I would recommend it to all my friends and family
Review for: CRUELLA more...
I love this lipstick, it goes on smoothly so it's super easy to apply and the packaging makes it perfect for on the go days. It stays on throughout the day without smearing so you dont really need a lup liner. I would most definitely recommend this lipstick it's worth the price

Review for: INTRIGUING more...
Don’t get me wrong these are great for doing a natural lip, but I wasn’t that impressed for $27. They aren’t creamy enough in my opinion, and the fact that you have to sharpen them instead of twist them up means you’re inevitably going to lose a lot of product. Not my favorite.

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
What's your favourite shade?
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!
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.
