Pros
✅Myself: Deepautumnwarm, estimated 24~25, sensitive, neutral (neutral in winter) 💜List of Holy Grails💜 MAC Chili - Fluorescent tube ding~ 3CE 803 - Fluorescent tube ding~ 3CE 114 - Natural nude tone Canmake Stay On Balm Rouge 3 I was actually considering Kinda Sexy as a base, but I'll get it next time when I have the chance. Taupe was too intense in color, so I skipped it. As for Mocha, I really wanted it, so I looked into similar products and ended up getting this one. (Reference: Mocha is lighter than Valkyrie, apparently^^) You 'Valkyrie' my face. It illuminates me, everyone. No, it not only illuminates, but the color is also mature and high-end. It seems to be a yellow-based tone. Somehow, it feels like it can pull off any autumnal warm tone... It applies smoothly and draws well. Let's see how it goes, my Valkyrie face
Cons
Yo man~~you gotta sharpen it, right? It's such a hassle to write like this. The price, what... You gotta pick the color just right, but you picked it too well, haha
Tip
Oooh, the gradient looks pretty too. Apparently, Nars has a lot of shades that suit the autumnal deep tone

Pros
My complexion has a warm, golden autumn tone. I've tried the Dolce Vita test, but it just didn't work for me, and during the dried rose crisis, I thought 'Maybe this isn't for me...' But when I started using Valkyrie, everything changed!! It's a perfect match ㅠㅠㅠ It's a deep red with a refined look, so it's great for daily wear at the office.
Cons
The matte finish is a bit of an issue. After using this, my lips got really dry, and I had a sudden outbreak of cheilitis ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And it's a real hassle to apply and reapply.
Tip
If your lips tend to get dry, I'd recommend applying a moisturizer first and letting it absorb a bit before using this.

Pros
This is a life-changing rating! It's between a fall muted~warm tone, but no one will say it's not pretty when you wear this. It really brings out the vibe, has a retro feel, and the color payoff is amazing. It's the best lip product I have in terms of longevity - I can wear it in the morning, eat a meal, and drink beverages without needing to reapply.
Cons
The fact that you have to sharpen it often! I tried to sharpen it with a Bobbi Brown sharpener, but it almost ruined it, so I went to the NARS store and bought their dedicated sharpener.
Tip
Since it's a pencil, it's quite matte, but if you make sure to exfoliate your lips and then apply a lip balm before using it, it works even better ^^

Pros
The fall warm tone is one of the lip pencils that you must buy after Dolce Vita! For me, a Korean in the 24-25 tone range, Dolce Vita was almost the same as my lip color, so it didn't make much of a difference. Valkyrie has the perfect mix of red and brown, creating a beautiful brick color, so my trusty MAC Taupe has been neglected for months..haha I didn't have a lipstick in just one color, but Valkyrie looked the best when I wore it alone.
Cons
If you rub it too much, it can look a bit cakey. As it's a pencil, when you pop open the cap, the core comes out quickly. So you have to be gentle when opening it..ㅠ The dedicated pencil sharpener is 10,000 won..haha I found that the Innisfree and NYX sharpeners are compatible. I've tried them all, but I ended up just buying the NARS pencil sharpener and using that.
Tip
The cakiness I mentioned earlier can be resolved by lightly tapping it on. It then gives a clear, reddish+calm color. It's hard to describe the color, but it's just so Valkyrie. I really recommend getting the fall warm tone with your Chuseok allowance! I got it at the duty-free shop with various discounts, so I bought it for just over 20,000 won. ㅎㅎ

Pros
It has a good slip and hardly any visible flakes. Compared to budget products from drugstores, the color tones are definitely more premium! I plan to repurchase and it suits me well as a fall muted tone.
Cons
It looks a bit dull and has a blackish tint, but it has a certain charm. However, I wouldn't use it when my face looks dull.
Tip
I use the Innisfree Dual Pencil Sharpener. It's affordable! When wearing black or gray clothes, it blends in well.

Pros
This color seems to suit those who prefer a more muted, deeper tone. While I've tried many lip products, the NARS lip pencil appears to have the best adhesion and application.
Cons
The high price point compared to the quantity is the biggest downside. This is practically identical to the It's Skin Matte Lip Pencil in Warm Cocoa (same manufacturer), so I've been using the It's Skin one lately.
Tip
Instead of buying the expensive NARS pencil sharpener, get the Innisfree Dual Pencil Sharpener to use with it.
