This is my favorite lip product. The color is almost the same as my natural lip color only better. I wear it nearly every day and have repurchased it countless times. The formula is not drying...

I have to join the "in theory this should work for me" group. I have fair, cool toned skin and I love nudes. This looked great swatched on my hand. On my lips it turns this weird bluish color, and...

I do not know what is wrong with this color, in theory it should look good on my fair, neutral skin tone. I can't even make this color work with gloss on top. I can wear most other nudes, but this...

Ugh, just no to this. I'm on the pale side, and im always on the hunt for a good pinky nude everyday lip color, because my natural lips are too red. This looked great swatched on my hand in...

This is such a lovely colour and stays on! Makes a nice change from a super shiny glossy lip. Love it.

I really wanted to like this shade, but unfortunately, it did not work for my fair skin tone. It looked like the type of light, neutral shade that I can typically pull off, but once on the lips, it...

I love this color- I typically go with a nude or light color lip, but I use Bettina when I need a little more color. It isn't overpowering for my fair complexion which is often a problem for me. I...

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! It's a pity that many people will avoid the NARS velvet matte lip pencils because they're matte, because these blow other matte lipsticks out of the water. They...

This is the most amazing mauvey-pink-nude colour ever! It is one of the few nude shades I have seen without any brown in it all. It is purely pink based but a muted pink with only a very slight...

I got this in a set along with a small Nars blush in Deep Throat and a tiny everything stick in Orgasm. I love all three of these items. This is a nude beige-pink and is slightly hard to see on...

Its my perfect nude color for my lips however I find that it does emphasize fine lines and it can be a bit drying but with a gloss over it, its beautiful. It gives me that Hilary Duff-esque nude...

I agree with a previous reviewer who said that the color changes a lot depending on what lighting you're in. It is a smooth application, just like the name implies...a velvet matte. Unfortunately...

The color is a nice pretty nude, but it gets used up so much that I don't think it will last me much longer and it's too expensive to buy another nude shade! I do like the product textures, so I...

This is the EXACT color of my lips, so right of the bat it was pretty useless for me. However, on top of that if has a weird frosty appearance and I hated how it felt on my lips. Kinda greasy. ...

This pencil has a gorgeous silky texture that feels wonderful on your lips. This color is a gorgeous nude that can be used as a lip liner or an allover LYBB shade. It seems very neutral to me--...

Bettina is a nice light pink beige with a hint of mauve and very slight pearl. It is just a shade darker than my lips so it makes me look polished when I really don't feel like wearing color. It...

Love this color! This is my second shade of the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil. I love how portable it is and how long it lasts. I also top it with a lip gloss and it looks great. It is a tad dry alone...
