Pros
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.

Pros
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~~

Pros
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♡

Pros
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!!

Pros
I'm a lipstick lover, and I've found another life-changing product!! These days, I've been completely obsessed with the pink coral shade - it's so feminine, serene, and pairs beautifully with any look and makeup. The NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in this color is just stunning. This shade is truly one-of-a-kind! It has great application and pigmentation, and I've been using it as a base color too. It allows me to draw a precise lip line that seamlessly blends into a plump, gradient effect. My friends have been asking me where this lipstick is from constantly. If it gets too matte, I just apply a generous layer of lip balm, blot, and then reapply for a smooth, velvety finish.
Cons
There's really nothing I dislike about it, other than the fact that you have to sharpen it to use. But overall, I'm completely satisfied with this product!

Pros
It's perfect as a base Apply it very thinly as a base and then apply a reddish lipstick to the central part, it looks beautiful!
Cons
It's a shame that it has to be sharpened and thrown away The color would also look good as a lipstick
Tip
You have to apply it very thinly, otherwise it clumps

Pros
This product is truly versatile - I've tried it with pink, coral, and orange-toned lipsticks, and it blends seamlessly without looking overpowering. The Bolero is a staple that I always use alongside my changing lipstick shades. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, making it great as a base or for defining the lip line.
Cons
The lip pencil is a bit of a hassle since you have to sharpen it, and it's such a waste when the product gets shaved off along with the wood. Plus, the price is a bit steep for what it is.
Tip
When doing touch-ups, I like to apply the Bolero in a straight line on the darker areas, then blend it with concealer to create a bright, pink-tinted under-eye area.

Pros
Excellent for gradients! It goes well with both pink and orange tones.
Cons
It's matte but the color is pretty, so I've been using it every day. As long as you exfoliate your lips well and apply it, it's fine.

Pros
This is so great. I use it mixed with other colors, and it's absolutely essential.
Cons
If there is lip peeling, you need to soothe and tidy it up before applying, otherwise it won't go on smoothly.

Pros
I used to buy it because it was famous for Yeon-hee's lipstick. The pale fluorescent pink tone itself may be pretty.
Cons
First of all, I have about 8 Nars lip pencil colors. Bolero is the most matte among them. It's even more matte than Dolce Vita. But since the color is also light, if you apply it fully, it's easy to get cakey, and if you apply it when your lips are in poor condition, it really emphasizes the flakiness. To wear the Bolero color alone, you need to have your entire makeup done and thoroughly care for your lips the day before.
Tip
It's best to use Bolero as a lip liner around the edges of the lips and apply the color you originally wanted to wear in the center of the lips, which makes it easier to pull off the color.
