I can't lie, I was really drawn to this product by the name at first. I am a big NARS fan and I had been really wanting to try the lip pencils. I don't have a sephora or NARS counter near me so I...

Liked this muted rosy-mauvey-pink lipstick on its own for a pale lip or to line my lips under a brighter lipstick. Though it's called matte, it's really not. It's relatively moist, doesn't dry my...

Pros: slightly more staying power than lipstick, creamy, non drying Cons: Colors "unpredictable" (On my lips this looks nothing like it does in the pencil- much darker) Wish it stayed on...

My favorite lip pencil in my favorite shade. I am extremely (emphasis on the extremely) pale, but fair... and I find this to be a flattering match to my complexion. Color goes on smoothly and lasts...

This is a very flat, matte pasty Barbie pink, as described. Very cool-toned. The effect on my fair skin is unnatural - like eraser pink, or Prang Sketcho Oil Pastel pink. It looks like the matte...

A good, natural pouty pink color for the lips for those who want a good 'anchor' for lipstick or gloss, or this can be worn alone as a lipstick. I did not find it too drying, and I thought that...

Applied lightly, this works on my medium olive skintone. But it sits in my drawer and definitely not remarkable enough to purchase again.

It's the perfect mauve-pink colour for me and is my alternative to neutrals. Because it's actually a dry lipstick I can easily fill in my lips to make them poutier after lining with a neutral...

Although this is a pencil form, it is made to be used as a lipstick, so I categorized it here. It is a somewhat short, but fat pencil, and this particular color is light natural pink. I wear it...
