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.

The color seems like it was born for autumn warm tones! Before discovering this product, I used to layer NARS Dolce Vita as a base and top it with beige/coral lips from other brands. But since finding Valkyrie, I've been wearing just this color without any base! The shade is a beautifully muted beige-brown blend - just perfect! The texture is incredibly smooth, absorbs well, and the staying power seems quite impressive too!
ConsI'm so in love with the color, staying power, and pigmentation that I can't find a single thing to complain about!

I usually only suit intense lip colors and always went for bold looks, but this one is perfect without being too much - it just sticks right on! Everyone keeps asking what I'm wearing and complimenting how pretty it looks. The staying power is incredible too. I'll be using this until the day I die!
ConsIt does make my lips quite dry. But with this gorgeous color and amazing longevity, I can overlook that minor flaw.
TipMake sure to take good care of your lips and apply it properly to minimize the drying effect.

The lip product I've been searching for! It has more of a brown undertone than Dolce Vita and feels more subdued, which I absolutely adore. It's on the matte side and has decent staying power too!
ConsThe NARS sharpener is such a rip-off. Also, the black packaging seems to attract smudges way too easily.
TipWhether you apply it as a full lip or blend it for a gradient effect, it's fantastic!

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.

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!
