Fantastic long-wear lip colour. (I find this to be true of most of the NARS lip pencils that are bold colours, less so for the lighter shades.) The red is great on my paler skin tone. Bleeding is minimal to nonexistent with a good primer. Having to sharpen the pencil is a pain.

I received this product as my birthday gift at Sephora. I'm not a big fan of red lipstick on me but I find if I use this very lightly in the crease of my lips and blend it out I get a beautiful, natural looking colour. I also love the matte finish and find it's not too drying. I probably will not be purchasing this product myself, though, due to the price.

I love this. It has a great smell and goes on so easily, stays for a long time! I will be buying more to grow my collection of Nars Matte Lip Pencils.

I received a small size of this lip pencil from Sephora. This is the perfect shade of red. It complements my dark skin perfectly and is great look for a night out. It is a matte lip colour so moisturizing the lip before applying is suggested. While the regular size is pricey, I will splurge and buy this when the small size runs out.

Got this one from Sephora as a birthday gift. What an amazing product. Easy to use and apply, is not messy. It beautiful matte effect. Stays on for a long time. I love it.

A little bit of a splurge for me, but a lovely red for sure! Doesn't budge easily and lasted all day after eating and drinking. As a matte, it was very comfortable to wear and was not too drying. Would recommend to anyone for daily wear or for special occasions :)
