ConsThe application is matte, which can lead to dryness later on, and the staying power isn't particularly long-lasting.

My dark lips usually make every lipstick look the same and age me, and highly pigmented ones crack due to my lip condition. However, Bolero gives me a beautifully fresh nude apricot shade when my lips are in decent condition. It's perfect as a base and doesn't make my lips stand out awkwardly or make my face look pale when I'm wearing other makeup. The NARS lip pencil has a much sharper tip than regular lipsticks, allowing for precise application. Though it's a matte formula, it glides on smoothly and effortlessly, which I love.
ConsThere's just one downside - while it feels fine during application, it definitely dries matte afterwards. On bad lip days, it looks okay when first applied, but when I check in the car mirror later, it emphasizes all my dead skin cells and flakes, ruining my whole look. Also, the NARS lip pencil has this odd texture that feels like you're chewing something when it gets in your mouth. Personally, I wish they'd get rid of that. When it mixes with food, it makes me want to wipe off all my lip color.
TipUse this after applying plenty of lip balm when your lips aren't dry! It's great on its own, but it's also an excellent base. It pairs beautifully with nude tones, of course, but it also enhances and brings out the best in pink, coral, and orange shades. Highly recommended for its versatility!

True to NARS, the color payoff is fantastic. I had a preconception that lighter shades wouldn't show up well, but this applies exactly as it looks in the tube. 2. Being a pencil, it allows for precise application. It's perfect for defining the lip line. 3. For those who love gradient lips, this is absolutely gorgeous. The color itself is so beautiful! I'm envious of those who can pull it off!
Cons1. It's quite matte. Especially with the light color, you really need to exfoliate and prep your lips before application to avoid emphasizing dead skin cells. 2. It's challenging to use on its own. I personally don't like mixing multiple products when doing my makeup, so I found it a bit tricky. While the color is stunning, it might not suit those who prefer a simple, quick makeup routine. 3. You need to purchase a separate pencil sharpener. Though once you buy one, you can use it for a long time, so it's not too bad.
TipMake sure to test it before purchasing!

I usually apply it over Volero as an overlip, and then apply RedSquare in the center. When applied alone, the color is definitely too bold. But when layered with other lipsticks, it blends in nicely.
ConsSince it's a matte formula, it can be difficult for those with dry lips to apply frequently. That's why I first apply lip balm and then layer the color on top.

It's matte but has good spreadability, and since it's a pencil, it seems to last a long time.
ConsSince it's a matte type, it really emphasizes dry patches when applied as a full lip.
TipI use Nars Timanfaya and Dragon Girl the most, and when layered with Bolero, the color is 👍🏻.

It goes well with both pink and orange tones.
ConsIt'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.

The pale fluorescent pink tone itself may be pretty.
ConsFirst 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.
TipIt'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.
