Pros
It's a complete life-saver! It's convenient to carry, high-quality, and applies beautifully.
Cons
It's not that sharpening is a hassle, but when the lip gets shaved down, my heart gets shaved down too.

Pros
The quality does not feel inferior to the price, and I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. I'm particularly pleased with how smoothly and creamily it applies while still having decent staying power! I recommend it. The Cruella shade is a muted burgundy color, but for some reason, it applies much more lightly compared to similar shades in other lipsticks - you have to layer it several times to get the full, deep color. Yet despite the deep color, it applies evenly without any patchiness, making it seem like the star student of lipsticks. I think this is a perfect product that checks all the boxes - color, texture, and staying power. The texture is truly remarkable - when you apply it with your finger, it has this soft, cloud-like glide, unlike the typical 'swish swish' of regular lipsticks. I'd say this is the kind of lipstick you have to try at least once in your lifetime - it's just that impressive. I'm of the mindset that as long as a makeup product is good, the scent doesn't matter to me. But in case anyone's curious, it has a vintage rouge-like fragrance that reminds me of playing on my mom's vanity as a child - a perfumed scent that I personally enjoy. I'm planning to repurchase this.
Cons
Since there's no staining, if you're expecting a long-lasting stained type, you may be disappointed.

Pros
The dark and deep red creates a moody and atmospheric look. It applies very smoothly and blendably.
Cons
While it applies smoothly, it also wears down quite easily. As it's a product that needs to be sharpened, I feel bad having to sharpen it each time.

Pros
The product is certainly expensive, but it applies smoothly without feeling sticky, which is a nice feature!
Cons
It has almost no staying power :( Even though the color is quite dark, it wears off almost completely when I eat.
Tip
Applying Dolce Vita and then just on the inner part of the lips looks lovely!

Pros
The toned-down red has great color payoff and looks pretty haha. It's a matte type and glides on the lips smoothly!!!! I think applying it with a gradient looks prettier than fully covering the lips ㅋㅎ
Cons
✔It's the type you have to sharpen, so I bought a dedicated pencil sharpener to sharpen it... But when I sharpen it, the product gets shaved off too, which is a bit heartbreaking ㅇㅅㅜ
Tip
It's matte, so I feel like I need to apply lip balm before using it to smooth out the flaky bits ㅋㅋ!!!

Pros
A vibrant cherry-tinted red lip pencil. The warm-toned color looks surprisingly flattering, but it seems to suit cooler complexions with brighter skin tones even better. It works nicely as a bold lip accent without eye makeup. The formula is incredibly soft and smooth, blending seamlessly without any patchiness. The pencil format makes it easy to line the lips precisely, and any mistakes can be easily fixed. There's no emphasizing of lip lines or flakes, which is a common issue with matte lipsticks. The formula doesn't actively improve or minimize these concerns, but it doesn't accentuate them either.
Cons
The pencil format requires sharpening, which can waste some product. However, the formula seems less prone to drying out compared to other matte pencils. The matte, velvety packaging looks sleek but does tend to show fingerprints and smudges easily, which can be a bit annoying to keep clean.
Tip
Applying a light pink lipstick all over the lips first, then using the Nars pencil just in the center, creates a nice, natural-looking gradient effect that makes the lips appear more defined and vibrant. It's a versatile way to get the most out of this product.

Pros
The color is not too dark, but just the right amount of darkness, with a reddish tone that doesn't feel too rustic or excessive. It also doesn't have a stuffy feeling, and the application seems smooth.
Cons
It's dry. Of course, it's a lip pencil, so that's to be expected, but after reading the reviews, I had higher expectations and am disappointed... Being dry, it doesn't seem to apply and spread as smoothly.

Pros
I was hesitant to use the lip pencil at first, but when I tested it on the back of my hand, the application was surprisingly smooth, so I decided to purchase it. It has a matte texture, but the gradient is easy to achieve. It works well for daily gradient application, but I think it looks the prettiest when applied as a full lip. I think this product would be a great match for those looking for a matte lip product without any orange tones.
Cons
Since it is matte, it does accentuate any lip lines or flakiness if you don't properly exfoliate your lips before applying. However, it is not as prominent as with other matte lip products.

Pros
The red lip pencil is incredibly beautiful and allows for a matte lip look while applying thinly, which I really love!! Some people say this is a warm-toned red, but it's actually a cool-toned red product. As I have a warm skin tone, I apply it lightly instead of full coverage.
Cons
The blending can be a bit tricky, but it's still alright.

Pros
Matte yet smoothly applied, and a color that suits the fall season! Applying the eyeliner heavily and pairing it together creates a chic look.
Cons
As it's a pencil type, it's inconvenient to have to sharpen it - you have to buy a sharpener along with it.
