As I've said before, I love this lip pencil, but this color is truly great. It's very dark and very intense. As someone mentioned, it's not something I would use as an every day lip color, but when...

Love this pencil. Def not a color for everyday but when I’ve worn it I always get comments on the color. It’s really beautiful and unique. I’ve also layered it with NARS scarlet empress lipstick...

Best new purchase of 2017. As a full on vampy lip it looks amazing. It does get patchy so you have to reapply. I wish I could wear this vampy lip every day. However, I love the color so much that I...

I was hoping to get sort of a vampy-purple color, but this color looks almost black. Unfortunately, this color just does not work for me. The product is easy to apply, but I had a hard time getting...

Gah, I love this color. It is so vampy. I'm about NC30-35, I get to about NC25 in the winter. My complaint with this is the formula; someone below mentioned it's patchy, and it is. Make sure you...

This is patchy to say the least. I've found that berries without red tints tend to not stain, which is why there is potential for the lip color to slide off the lips. Due to the texture, I find...

I spent months looking at swatches of Train Bleu online, showing various people pictures and asking them if they thought I could pull it off. Some people thought it would clash with my NC35 - 40...

This is an amazing lip product. The colour payoff alone, is well worth the 30 or so odd dollars you pay for the small 2.4 grams of product. This is a colour that generally looks good on a wide...

This is the perfect dark, vampy lipstick. It's so beautiful and rich. I want to love this color, but can't! The formula is the real killer here; it is so drying and clings to any dryness on the...

I have quite fair neutral skin tone, with dark hair and hazel eyes, and I never fail to get compliments when i wear Train Bleu. It's a fabulous deep blue red. GothicCharmSchool called it, "the...

I actually threw this product in the garbage after using it for two months -- and this is an expensive lip pencil. First, I own other NARS velvet matte lip pencils and love them. This color is...

Matte velvet lip pencils are a bit of a hybrid between a lip liner, and a lipstick. I think for dark shades such as this one the packaging is absolutely innovative and perfect. The tip is...

This product looks terrible on me. I have very fair skin, and based on reviews I've read Train Bleu looks great on fair skinned people. Not on me! I have a pretty neutral skin tone. This also has...

I love these matte lip pencils by nars. They're my favorite lipstick. I love the texture and the staying power. This color is such a rad dark gothy eggplant. It looks great even on my olive...

ALWAYS get compliments when I'm wearing this lip pencil! The color is easy to manipulate and make much darker or lighter than what it is. Kind of intimidating seeing as it is so rich but I like to...

I love the dark, exotic, femme fatale quality of this color. And it's versatile. Charming during the day when paired with light eye makeup, yet goth and dramatic in the evening. Not only is the...
