When layered more heavily, it develops into a gorgeous deep color!
ConsIt's a bit of a hassle to have to sharpen it, but the beautiful color makes up for it!

It glides on smoothly and effortlessly. The staying power is impressive too. It's matte, so if you're looking for something moisturizing, you might want to avoid this. Don't forget to exfoliate your lips first!
ConsIt's on the pricier side, and the amount you get is quite small for the cost. Most importantly, while it's a lip product, the ingredients are a bit disappointing. I've noticed this tends to be the case with foreign brands, unfortunately.
TipI like to apply a thin layer of Vaseline on top. In winter, it can feel a bit too matte and make my lips feel constricted.

It's got this slightly dark MLBB vibe that's absolutely perfect. Whenever I wear it, I always get compliments on how beautiful my lips look. The color payoff, application, and staying power are all fantastic. It's my absolute favorite among all NARS products.
ConsWhile the ingredients aren't the best, if you're too picky about ingredients in color cosmetics, your options become quite limited. It's a pencil type, so you need to sharpen it. Being a high-end product, it's on the pricier side.

In my opinion, it has prettier color payoff than Dolce Vita and works well for gradient base or daily wear.
ConsI frequently use NARS lip pencils, but this isn't my preferred format. Sad that it's a pencil type...

If you have very fair skin, Dolce Vita might suit you better, but if your complexion is slightly darker, Valkyrie could be more flattering. I'm not particularly fair-skinned, so Valkyrie looks better on me. 2. Its smooth application is famously good! 3. The color payoff is excellent. It gives a beautiful, toned-down version of your natural lip color!
Cons1. When you're tired, this shade might make you look even more exhausted... oops! 2. Not thrilled about having to sharpen it. 3. The price isn't exactly budget-friendly, but what can you do? 4. Because it applies so smoothly, it wears down quickly if you apply it heavily.
TipIf Dolce Vita doesn't suit your slightly darker complexion, Valkyrie might be a better match!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a life-changing lipstick! For those with a deep undertone to warm skin, I can't imagine anyone saying it doesn't look beautiful. It instantly elevates your mood, gives off a retro vibe, and the color payoff is outstanding. The staying power is the best among all the lip products I own. Apply it in the morning, and even after eating and drinking, you won't need to reapply - the longevity is that impressive!
ConsThe only downside is that you need to sharpen it frequently. I tried using a Bobbi Brown sharpener and almost ruined it, so I ended up buying the brand's dedicated sharpener at the NARS counter.
TipSince it's a pencil formula, it can be quite matte. I recommend exfoliating your lips the night before and applying a bit of lip balm before using this product for the best results.

With its velvet texture, it's perfect for those who love a matte lip look.
ConsGiven its velvet texture, I'm concerned it might emphasize dead skin cells quite noticeably for those who struggle with lip exfoliation. When layering, there's a slight tendency for pilling.
TipFor easier application, try applying lip balm first, then gently blot off excess oil with a tissue before applying the lipstick. This helps it go on more smoothly.

ConsIt's not very moisturizing, so I often mixed it with lip gloss. Still, it's so convenient that I can overlook this. But be warned! Make sure to close the cap tightly! You don't want a makeup bag disaster! Be careful!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with atopic skin who rarely wears makeup, my overall complexion is greatly influenced by lip color. This product is a game-changer for me! While I'm not a fan of glossy lips, my extremely dry lips often led me to discard lip products after just a few uses. This matte formula proved that not all matte products cause dead skin cells to flake... It applies beautifully and has good staying power. After eating or drinking, a quick touch-up keeps it looking fresh.
ConsThe main drawback is the hassle of sharpening the pencil format. However, this design does have its advantages, like being easier to apply without a brush compared to traditional lipsticks. Unfortunately, it tends to smudge a bit in the summer heat, which is disappointing. The price is also quite high for the amount of product you get. Lastly, there's always the risk of breaking the unused portion if you accidentally drop it!

I've already purchased another one. As someone who rarely wears makeup, I don't want a lip color that's too intense or unnatural. This is easy to carry, absorbs well, and leaves no residue!
ConsDo I have to sharpen it? That's a hassle. It feels wasteful when too much gets shaved off. I wish it was automatic!
