It evens out the color on my lips, feels comfortable and hydrating, and I love the satin finish as I am so over matte lipsticks. Plus, it really works for a quick lip look, as it can serve as pencil and lipstick in one. ...Works great as a non-bleeding liner, as well as an all-over color.

The red one for when I want to be bold and dramatique and the natural pink-brown one for when I'm feeling subdued & more professional (in my line of work, red lipstick doesn't always scream "professional" it's a little too showy for my work environment that already takes women a lot less seriously than men, sad but true). ...I bought the intriguing/train bleu set. This set is perfect for having a work appropriate color and then a color for going out during happy hour!
What it is:
A travel-size duo of NARS’s cult-favorite matte lip pencil.
What it does:
The NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ensures that lips are instantly saturated with rich, vivid pigments and a velvety-matte finish.

This non-drying formula is enriched with vitamin E and emollients for a creamy texture, while a blend of unique silicones ensures long-lasting, seamless, matte color for hours. Just pair it with another lip product for added dimension, or use it as a tinted base. Whether it’s soft and neutral or bold and edgy, this lip pencil is ideal for making a lip statement.
