Pros
I'm an orange lover... I bought it because the orange color is so pretty, but when I wear it, it looks tacky.. but the color is so, so pretty.
Cons
You need a separate pencil sharpener, and it's extremely matte.
Tip
I recommend it to warm-toned people...ㅜㅜ

Pros
This is my favorite lip pencil that I've tried ♥ The color payoff is amazing, and the beautiful reddish-orange shade makes me feel so refreshed when I apply it ㅎㅎ
Cons
The fact that I have to sharpen it? That does make me a bit sad as the product gets used up, but on the bright side, I think it's quite hygienic as it helps remove any bacteria that may have built up ㅎㅎ

Pros
If it's Bomwarm, it's a reddish-orange color that would suit most people, and in the gradient, the pink becomes more prominent, while the orange feeling is stronger in the full color. Even for those with warm undertones who don't suit orange, it would blend in quite well.
Cons
The biggest disappointment I've experienced with NARS lip products is the uneven application and the original color plus the pink tint. As a lip enthusiast who has tried many brands, the uneven application is not a big issue, but the disappointing pink tint seems to have a slightly negative effect. Additionally, the need to sharpen the product to use it is quite inconvenient.
Tip
I've compared several products similar to NARS' Red Square: Based on the lines extending from the center, which is the Red Square, the similar shades are: MAC - Lady Danger MAC - Timesinfinite Armani - Lip Maestro 401 Hera - Shower Tomato Mamonde - Fresh Pop Mamonde - Apple Bite NARS - Heat Wave Shu Uemura - Gangnam Orange The most similar one is MAC's Lady Danger.

Pros
The lip pencil is easy to apply precisely and convenient to carry. With its highly pigmented and smooth application, the soft-matte formula allows for a clean, matte lip look. The Red Square shade is a vibrant orange-red that is not too bright, with a slightly muted saturation, making it a versatile color to wear.
Cons
While it doesn't feel drying upon application, the lips tend to become dry and parched over time. Given that the product wears off quickly, the need to constantly sharpen and discard the pencil is inconvenient and wasteful. The pink undertone may also divide opinions.
Tip
While the Nars brand sharpener is recommended, you don't necessarily need to purchase the expensive one, as other affordable brand sharpeners can work just as well.

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
When applied thickly, it develops into an orange-red color, and when applied in a gradient, it develops into a pink-red color. The color seems to be expressed differently depending on the condition of the lips and the degree of application.
Cons
Since it needs to be sharpened, I also need to buy a sharpener, and the amount that is sharpened away seems to be more than the amount used, which is a waste. I knew it was a matte lip, but the emphasis on lip wrinkles is quite severe. It feels like my lips are getting wrinkly.

Pros
My daily item!❣️ I bought it right away after falling in love with the orange-red color and how it looks on me. I'm on my second one now - it makes my face look brighter. I like the matte-like finish.
Cons
I don't think there's anything disappointing about it..! The only thing is that it's a bit of a hassle to sharpen it. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I've been using a dedicated sharpener for it.

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
The color is a mix of red and orange, but it's a bit closer to the red range. It's not too dark, nor is it overly bright - it's a clear, vibrant red-orange shade!!! It's definitely a red!!!!! So, orange, crimson, or bright red lipsticks wouldn't suit it well. I'd recommend this to those who are looking for this type of color :)
Cons
The downside is that after using it a few times, you have to sharpen it, and sometimes you might forget to do so. When applying it on your lips, the wooden? core can feel a bit irritating. I'd recommend remembering to sharpen it regularly when you have the chance!

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.
