Formula: Leading Lady (shown above) is a deep berry red with blue undertone. This is one of the bluest red tone colors I have come across and it's simply gorgeous. The formula is creamy and glides on smooth. It's actually rather creamy and bleeds somewhat so you'll need to apply a base and lip-liner first. The wear time is several hours and when the color starts to fade it leaves a lovely stain on the lips. Another issue that I have with these particular pencils from NYX are the size. They're clumsy to maneuver on the lips and it's hard finding a large sharpener that fits. Other than that they're really good creamy lipsticks at an affordable price.
