Quick Take: glides on easily, long wearing, soft

I was looking for a new lipstick and was introduced at Sephora to Nars lip pencils about a year ago. This is my third and I would have more but the store I visit does not have a complete selection. I love the colors and simplicity. Grab one or two and you are good to travel the world or put on in the car while rushing to the store or work. No need to find a liner, lipstick, and gloss.

Nars s e x machine awesome for light skin - 03.12.10
Quick Take: glides on easily, soft

Back for 2 more. I cannot find such a perfect shade anywhere else. This is the perfect soft rose-pink base for my fading 49 year old lips.It's the color my lips used to be naturally. I use it all over the lips to line and add needed color..It does not feather into fine lines. It takes all of 3 seconds to do this because of the fatness of the pencil. I always wear gloss over it, so I have not noticed it being drying. Peach toned glosses over this produces a coral tone . Pink glosses give a beautiful soft pink. Stays on as long as any lipstick. Only downers are the price and that the pencil doesn't last very long.. But this color is beautiful on my skin tone so I'll keep buying.

This is a unique product. I have this lip pencil in Bahama and really like it. It is fairly long-wearing, and the pigments deposit evenly and nicely when applied. Since it is a matte lip pencil, it can be drying, so I use a lip conditioner/balm to prime my lips first before swiping this on.

love it! - 03.07.10
Quick Take: glides on easily, long wearing, soft, bright

I own several of these nars lip pencils, and I love them all (well, most of them). This one is probably my favorite. I like Damned a lot too. Its a beautiful matte red with a pink undertone. I have cruella too (the other red) but this one looks way nicer on me, because of my complexion. If you look better in pinks/blues than oranges, then this color would be great on you. The color stays in place and doesn't wear off like most lipsticks do. No irritating scents or flavors. Buy it!

Excellent lip color for any skin!! - 03.06.10
Quick Take: glides on easily, long wearing

Great lip color which can be used as a lipliner or lipstick! Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it can dry my lips if i don't use my lp sugar prep before. But the color is absolutely beautiful and looks great on any skin color!!

I got the lip pencil in Bahama. If you're looking for a color that works on almost anyone, this is it. Several friends tried it on, and it looked good on everybody. Creamy, but with some staying power. I love this!

Love Cruella!! - 03.01.10
Quick Take: glides on easily

I love NARS products and I have to say this color compliments me. I am dark skinned woman and I think cruella would compliment women of color. If you want to try something different and add some color to you lips, this is the color for you. It is always sold out everywhere by the way. The colors damned and scarlet red are pretty as well. I like how it glides on smoothly. I usually put a light layer of chapstick or lipgloss, then apply the lipliner on top. I do not think it last very long but I like reapplying it on my lips because of the texture of the lipliner. I recommend you get the pencil sharpener because the lip liner does not fit into regular sharpeners. It makes my lips dry since it is matte but the color is beautiful and unique. When somethings looks really good on you, feel confident and get complimented on it, get it ladies!!

The associate at Sephora was right - this is one of their bestsellers! I had been looking for this type of color - nude with a touch of light pink! It makes my lips smooth and it stays on for hours! I will buy a whole bunch to send to my sister!

I love this product, it goes on so smooth. Given how smooth it is, it may not last as long as other lip pencils, but I was satisfied with how long it wore. Worn alone, it give a lovely matte look.

Not only is this the perfect matte red, but it stays on forever. It is easy to apply and looks striking on nearly everyone. Also, it lasts forever. Very worthy purchase. I would recommend using a lip conditioner before applying so that your lips do not dry out.

Indian Red - 02.26.10
Quick Take: glides on easily, long wearing, soft, glamourous

I love the bold color, and how it makes my lips feel like velvet. It goes on very smooth and bright. On top of that, the color sets after about a minute and lasts for hours. While it is moisturizing, my lips do get a little dry after a while. However, because it looks great even with gloss on, I will definitely be buying this again in the future.

Quick Take: glides on easily, long wearing

This shade is a bright bubble gum pink and looks great with a smokey eye. Goes on smoothly. Be careful about chapped lips though - the matte finish accentuates the dryness so exfoliate prior to applying!
