It applies smoothly, unlike some matte lipsticks. It's not as drying as MAC matte lipsticks, which is great!
ConsYou absolutely need to buy a sharpener, which is a downside. I don't reach for it often because I find sharpening to be a hassle.

While my lipstick collection is full of similar shades, this color is truly one of a kind. When I first saw it, I was struck by how unique and beautiful it was. I've grown tired of the usual shades, so I was eager to try something new and quickly made the purchase. Never Say Never is... a pink-tinted purple? Or maybe a purple-tinted deep pink? It's that kind of shade, you know? The swatch on my hand in the photo appears a bit darker than it actually is. The color in the comparison swatch with Damned is less accurate than the one you can see in the swatch of all my NARS lip pencils. Still, even the last photo doesn't quite capture the beautiful nuances of Never Say Never. It really is a uniquely charming color. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils have a way of creating a natural, subtle look with a smooth application. They look even more beautiful and natural on the lips than they do swatched on the hand. While other matte lip products can be intense and dry, this one offers a natural color payoff and adheres gently to the lips. It's perfect even for those who usually find matte lips challenging to wear. It's less likely to emphasize dead skin cells compared to other matte lip products, but it's still a good idea to exfoliate before application. Never Say Never is famous as a summer lip color, right? I love using it on days when I want to add a pop of color in the summer. It looks great on its own, but sometimes I pair it with Damned. I apply Never Say Never all over and then dab Damned on the inner part of my lips for a beautiful effect. Damned is also a Velvet Matte Lip pencil, with a purple-tinged wine color. While it might look intense in the pencil, when applied lightly, it complements Never Say Never beautifully.
ConsIt's a bit heartbreaking to see the color being shaved away when sharpening the pencil.

When applied, it creates a very subdued pink hue that looks just like my natural lip color. Although the muted purple tone on hand swatches might not be widely popular, I find it charming and think it's an excellent base color for cool-toned individuals. It also feels comfortable on the lips.
ConsDue to its strong purple undertone, this color might be quite polarizing depending on your complexion.
TipSince it's a subtle and not-too-intense shade, if you're wearing this lipstick alone, you might want to add some emphasis to other features of your makeup look.

The most important thing is the color! It's purple with a hint of pink and has a subtle shimmer - the color is truly beautiful! Despite being purple, it's not too bold and has a soft, wearable feel. Also, the ingredients are better than other NARS lip pencils, haha!
ConsThe issue with NARS lip pencils is... it feels wasteful when sharpening them... and the price is quite steep...

It's a slightly deep pink with strong violet undertones. There might be a hint of gray in there too... And while I'm not usually a fan of matte lipsticks, this one applies smoothly, making my lips feel comfortable.
ConsThe color isn't bad, but it doesn't feel like a perfect match for me, so I'm not particularly fond of it. Also, having to sharpen it is inconvenient.
