Pros
The color lasts a long time, the pigmentation is good, and it's a bright orange-red shade that cool-toned skin can pull off.
Cons
It's matte, so it can accentuate dry patches, and the cap tends to peel off and get dirty over time.

Pros
This color is long-lasting and gives a perfect warm fluorescent look. It's not too drying either, which I liked. Even if you apply a bold color, it just looks great when you put on the Red Square. I think I've repurchased it around four times already, haha.
Cons
The only downside is that it's a bit of a hassle to sharpen... It feels like it runs out quickly, haha.

Pros
The color is not too bold of a red, but has an orangey tint as well. It seems quite pretty, and the lasting power is good too.
Cons
After applying it with a full lip, over time the line becomes emphasized.
Tip
I found it convenient to use the lip balm as a substitute for lipstick, even after applying the full lip.

Pros
Incredibly long-lasting...it's amazing how it has a matte texture yet creates a gradient. This creamy lipstick is great when you don't want to deal with the heavy feeling or shrunken lips from wearing a tint.
Cons
It has strong staying power, but...it smears? It stays on even when it smears...I'm not sure if it's a mousse, but those who have used it will probably relate haha. Also, make sure to exfoliate and apply it properly.

Pros
First of all, the color is incredibly beautiful. It's a deep red with an orange undertone, almost a burgundy shade. It's a color that will suit both warm and cool skin tones. (For reference, I have a warm skin tone.) It's a matte formula, so the color payoff is vivid and the longevity is great. When you sharpen it with a pencil sharpener, the product comes to a fine point, so you can apply it precisely and delicately.
Cons
Since it's a matte formula, it can accentuate any dryness or flakiness on the lips. It's best to make sure your lips are smooth and free of any peeling before applying it. The need for a dedicated pencil sharpener could also be considered a downside (though any standard pencil sharpener should work if you don't want to purchase a specific one).
Tip
This product has a clean, vibrant color that looks beautiful when you just use it for the base, brows, and a touch of mascara. I usually always do a full eyeliner, but with this product, I find that a more subtle, chic look works really well.

Pros
The surface is matte, but the interior is moisturized, with no visible flaking or peeling. It also has excellent longevity and lasts a very long time. I can use it over and over without it wearing down.
Cons
It's inconvenient to sharpen, and seeing the leftover lip product flake off as I twist it is quite unpleasant.

Pros
This product gave me a positive impression of the lip pencil. The full coverage is pretty and the gradation is also beautiful. Just applying this alone makes my makeup look so radiant. It's slightly matte, but I think the longevity and application are really good.
Cons
Since it's a pencil, every time I sharpen it, the lip product gets shaved off along with it, which is a bit of a waste.

Pros
The Nars lip pencil lasts much longer than the cheaper ones, and even though I've tried to find similar colors, I don't think they can match it. I'm not sure about my skin tone, but my friends say I'm a cool-toned winter, and this one is perfect for daily use and interviews under bright lighting!
Cons
Sometimes the cap opens in my makeup bag... what a disaster ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Pros
Based on my guess, I seem to have an autumnal warm-toned complexion, and this color is a perfect match! For those of you who normally enjoy matte lipsticks, and warm-toned individuals who like vibrant colors, I highly recommend this. The color is incredibly graceful, and the longevity... it's worth every penny. I dare say the longevity is simply unparalleled.
Cons
I had to purchase a separate lip pencil sharpener from NARS, which cost 10,000 won...haha. What a waste... However, I'm glad I bought it because the strange sharpener helps prevent uneven sharpening. For those of you with particularly flaky lips, I would not recommend this.
Tip
The more matte the lipstick, the more attention you'll need to pay to lip care.

Pros
I'm completely smitten...this lip pencil has made me fall for Nars. I'm not sure if the red-orange color suits my skin tone, but when I first applied it, I thought my lips looked so pretty, and my face just glowed. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations when I bought it, but it applies so easily and smoothly, and it's not as matte as I was worried it might be - it's just the right amount of matte, I think. The color may be similar to something else out there, but the luxurious, creamy application I get when I first put it on is something I don't think I can find elsewhere...the staying power is pretty decent too...as long as I don't eat or drink, it lasts well.
Cons
The fact that it's a lip pencil and needs to be sharpened is a bit of a hassle...the Nars sharpener is expensive, so I use the Skinfood dual pencil sharpener instead.
