Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil

Won’t buy this product given the horrendously offensive names. Never thought of lipstick color names as misogynistic but these sure are. Marketing has reached a new low with Nars.

I bought this lipstick pencil in Cruella, which is a beautiful deep red. I have brown hair and eyes with olive skin (slight yellow undertones) and it is perfect. I wear it for day with just black eyeliner and MAC's Shroom and it is fine for the office - pretty but not trampy! At night you can do a more sultry eye and the red is much more glam. I was amazed that it stays on practically all day and doesn't feather at all. It goes on feeling creamy. So many of these sticks feel and look a little cakey, but not this one. I think this shade would be a gorgeous red on just about anyone, although it may be iffy on someone with strawberry blonde hair. I think it could be too dark. Of course you could always go by Nordstrom and the beauty consultants will find the perfect shade for you. I attached a pic - I would call this a "day look".

These NARS velvet matte lip pencils are the best matte lipsticks I have ever owned! Hands down takes the cake! They are the creamiest, moisturizing, light and pigmented matte lipstick there is, it is literally all in one! I do not know how NARS does it but I just cannot get enough, I have it in 5 color, NEVER SAY NEVER, BAHAMA, DOLCE VITA, CRUELLA and DAMNED and honestly I don't think I can pick a favorite. THANK YOU NARS!!!!

If you're looking for bold colors with longevity and a smooth finish then look no further. NARS' lipstick pencil is perfect for any occasion and it doesn't leave behind that dry feeling most lip pencils do. The velvet matte finish is smooth and muted so if you want a shiny finish you have to either choose a shade with glitter flecks in it or I suggest NARS' 'Triple X' clear gloss. I have this lipstick pencil in dragon girl, dolce vita, and roman holiday and couldn't be happier. Word of caution though, if you're using any shade of red I suggest using some kind of lip treatment under the color as your lips will have a red tint after if you wear it directly on your skin.

I really like this lip pencil. I was looking for a long lasting pinkish coral color to wear for my wedding. The sales lady said this would last all day. I bought the color sex machine and I like it. I’m going to wear the orgasm lip gloss over it! The photo is not great quality and was taken w flash at night but Iove the color !

I like these pencils. They aren’t matte to the point of making your lips look dry and cakey. They aren’t shiny though either, which I like. They go on smooth and stay on pretty well. The color options are good too, I loved the endangered red (a lot of color, more for night or special occasion use) and Do Me Baby (more of an everyday rose/updated mauve color). Hope that helps!

I must tell you that I am a very, very, very picky and elegant person. So when I tell you that something is EXQUISITE you better believe. I cannot say enough good things about these lipstick pencils, these are actually, truly lipsticks. They do everything that is written on the description and more. Very lasting vibrant colors. I bought the mysterious red and the red square colors. If I could I would buy every color there is in these EXQUISITE LIPSTICK PENCILS!!!

Two stars (generous)... doesn't come close to the color as shown on website. It is beige and not the hint of coral that I thought. very disappointed. Also, wish it was self-sharpening.

I was skeptic about purchasing a lip pencil/lipstick for $26 but after using this I have to say I am extremely happy I did. In a nutshell, the formula is so creamy, pigmented and the finish is so matte, I barely had to apply ANY pressure on my lips while applying this. It is such a luxurious formula I gasped while applying it. Three things I suggest Nars improves with this lip pencil: 1) The cap: It does not secure tightly on the pencil. When you put it on the pencil it slides up and off the pencil. Not safe for traveling. 2) The wood material: It is a wooden pencil which means you have to get a proper sharpener for further uses. Which means a lot of product will be wasted in the long run. In this day and age 2015 it doesn't hurt the company to make a plastic pencil with “twist up" mechanism -_-. If drugstore items can do it, Nars can sure as heck do it. 3) As the product wears off the lips, you can see every tiny line and crack of the lip highlighted with color. It deposits and sets into every crease of the lips without mercy. Not flattering at all.

Very disappointed. I had ordered this because I had received a sample with a perfume purchase. The sample actually had more actual lipstick. For what I paid I expected more than just the tiny tip of the crayon to consist of actual lipstick. I do like the lipstick and it does last really well so my problem is not with the quality but with the quantity .

This is absolutely my favorite lip color in a pencil form. It stays soft on your lips without any drying, lasts a long time, and the colors are amazing. I have Cruella and Dragon Girl, both beautiful! I plan on buying more in lighter shades, as well.

The best lipstick I have used in years!! Everything the lipstick description states is true. Rich color, long lasting, no need for a lip liner... everything I could want in a lipstick is contained within this pencil. Now I hope the color I use, Forbidden Red, will not be discontinued! This is the first Nars product I have tried..will be back for more.
