The color, the color, the color... 😭 Why was this discontinued? Just wearing this makes you feel like a fluorescent light is on... I'm someone who wears both warm and cool tones...but I can't find anything like this...
Cons
As someone who is very prone to allergic reactions on my lips, Nars lipsticks don't work for me at all... You have to use this when your skin condition is good, because if your immunity is low and you use this, your lips will swell up, get inflamed, and it'll be a disaster... I don't trust the ingredients in these color-focused foreign brands...

The Bolero that disappeared into the back alley of Danjong It seems that there will never be another one with the same color as this one.
Cons
Danjong..!!! It's just a pity that I couldn't hoard it Of course, there will be no re-release.

I highly recommend Bolero to Bombright! It looks beautiful no matter what color you layer on top of the base. It wrinkles less and applies more prettily than the budget-friendly Woodbury lip pencil - the original is just different~~
Cons
The downside is the price and the inconvenience of having to sharpen it, but that's to be expected with a lip pencil.

1. Uniquely vibrant color❤️ It's incredibly difficult to find fluorescent salmon-colored lipsticks on the market, and even when they are released, they tend to be discontinued quickly...ㅜ But the Nars Bolero is invaluable because it has not been discontinued and is still available. I think that alone gives it exceptional value! For those of you like me who love vibrant, fluorescent shades, I think you'll be incredibly satisfied using it as a lip base or blush!💘💘
Cons
- Among the lipsticks I own, this one accentuates flaky skin the most^^ Probably because it has a lot of whiteness and is a pencil-type, even after caring for my lips and applying it, I still feel like I can see the hidden flakiness.... For those of us who tend to get a lot of wrinkles and flakiness on our lips, the feel of using this product might be difficult. And somehow, it seems to apply well, but when you look closely, there's a ridiculous amount of white buildup in the lip wrinkles If the application and adhesion were just good, this could have been the lipstick of my dreams, but... since those two aspects are terrible, no matter how pretty the color is, I absolutely cannot bring myself to use it~~~ㅠㅠ - Expensive You know the Mamonde Creamy Lip Tint, right?? This is smaller and about the size of a pinky finger or a little finger. If you keep using this as a lip base, it'll disappear in no time. Considering the product quality and quantity, the price is set extremely high due to the brand name^_^ - Inconvenient to sharpen This product has a fatal flaw where you have to sharpen it like a pencil to use it... Since it has a very powdery creamy formula, it already feels like it wears down quickly. But when you have to keep sharpening it like a pencil, the amount of lipstick that gets wasted is probably around 10,000 won. - It's better not to expect any plumping effect Since this is a product without any shading effect, I felt that rather than making my lips look plumper, it made them look thinner. However, if you don't want to lose the volume of your lips, you can try adding a little shading under your lips and on your philtrum!
Tip
💝 I recommend applying this when your lips are in a smooth, flake-free state! 💝 I don't recommend this for those of you who tend to get a lot of wrinkles and flakiness on your lips...😿 💝 I recommend tapping it on vertically to apply the color!

This color is perfect for cool-toned individuals who find lip gradation challenging!
Cons
The application is matte, so it may become dry later on and the longevity is not extremely long.

Even when applying highly pigmented products, you can draw along the lip line with a Volero and get the most delicate color! I highly recommend it. It doesn't break and I'm using it well!!
Cons
It's a pencil and I bought a dedicated sharpener, but the dedicated sharpener cost 10,000 won hahahahaha
Tip
The sharpener is too expensive... I looked online and it says you can use the Innisfree sharpener as a substitute, so when you purchase, search for a substitute and buy that one~~

I think the lip line color based on the Bomwarm standard is really nice. When you draw the lip line on the outside and layer a slightly deeper color on the inside, it really brightens up your face♡
Cons
The price is a bit high, but I think it's still worth it since it lasts a really long time!ㅎㅎ
Tip
Draw the lip line on the outside with this, and create a gradient with a slightly deeper lip color on the inside♡

I have relatively dark and very dry lips, but this product has such amazing pigmentation that I would give it 5 stars!! Even though my lip color is dark, any color I apply just looks the same, making me look older. But on the other hand, products with good pigmentation usually end up cracking my lips, so I hardly use them. However, when I apply Bolero only when my lips are in good condition, it gives me a beautiful, radiant peach nude color. It works great as a base, and it doesn't make my lips stand out too much or make my face look washed out when I don't use it all over. The NARS lip pencil is much more pointed than lipsticks, so it's easy to apply precisely. Although it's a matte formula, it glides on smoothly and evenly.
Cons
The only downside is that while it applies nicely, it does become quite matte once it sets. When my lips are in poor condition, it can accentuate the flakiness and dryness, and I've had some bad makeup days because of that. Also, the NARS lip pencil has this slightly gritty texture when it's in my mouth, which I personally don't like - it feels like I'm chewing on something when I'm eating, and it ends up wiping off all the product.
Tip
Make sure to thoroughly moisturize your lips with lip balm before using this. It works great on its own, but it also pairs beautifully as a base for nude, pink, coral, and orange lip colors, making them look even more vibrant and flattering.

I purchased this product based on the recommendation of YouTuber Rose. The Wake Make Kings Girl is truly a lifesaver for me, and when used in combination with this product, the result is absolutely stunning. The color is so vibrant that it doesn't get washed out under lighting or the camera. Many people may not know what the real deal is when searching online, but I'd say it's comparable to the Missha Cotton Blusher Ballerina Shoes and the Etude House Single Shadow Peach Latte. It's so luminous and radiant that it looks beautiful even when used as a blusher.
Cons
It's surprisingly creamy. It's not matte. It's not quite a lip gloss like a MAC crayon, but it has a lot of moisture in the stick itself, and when it touches your lips, that moisture comes out. I'd be a bit worried about carrying it around in the summer. That said, it's not overly soft.
Tip
You'll need to be careful when closing the lid, as it can leave an imprint.

1. The color payoff is amazing, just like Nars. I used to have a prejudice that lighter shades don't have good color payoff, but this one maintains the original color vibrantly. 2. Since it's a pencil, I can apply it precisely. I really love the lip contouring. 3. Those who do gradient application look so pretty. The color itself is beautiful! I'm envious of those who can pull it off. Haha
Cons
1. It's matte. It's drying, and the light color requires extra exfoliation before application. 2. It's difficult to use alone. I don't usually mix and match when doing my makeup, so I found it challenging. The color is gorgeous, but I think it may not suit those who prefer simple makeup routines like me. 3. You need to buy a separate sharpener. Well, since you only need to buy it once and can use it for a long time, it's not a big deal.
Tip
Be sure to test it out before purchasing!!
