LOVE NARS PENCILS
I love all the NARS pencils. They are easy to apply, don’t smear and last long

I wouldn't buy this product or any NARS product
Cruella shade is awful on fair neutral skin and customer care is non-existent.

THIS IS THE PERFECT RED!!
I can't recommend this product enough!!! Perfect matte finish and I only have to touch up after lunch! Also, LOVE the name Cruella!! Flattering red on any complexion in my opinion. I also highly recommend the matte lip pencil in Dragongirl! It's another very beautiful color!

Waste of money.
I had high hopes for the NARS Powermatte High-Intensity Long-Lasting Lip Pencil, especially given its claims of bold, matte color with up to 12-hour staying power. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. While the pencil does deliver rich pigmentation and a smooth, creamy application that sets to a matte finish, it didn't last nearly as long as advertised. After just a few hours-far less than the promised 12-I noticed significant fading, especially after eating or drinking, which was disappointing for a product touted as transfer-proof and long-wearing. Another major issue for me was how drying it felt on my lips. Despite the brand's claim that the Power Pigment Complex provides comfortable wear, I found it exacerbated dryness, leaving my lips feeling parched and uncomfortable throughout the day. If you already have dry or chapped lips, this formula might not be the best fit unless you prep heavily with a balm beforehand, which could compromise the matte finish. The design itself also left me frustrated. Unlike some lip pencils with a twist-up mechanism, this one requires sharpening, which is fine in theory-but the "poor twisting device" you mentioned seems to hint at a broader issue. In my case, I assumed you might mean the lack of a retractable feature or a faulty design in some batches. Either way, sharpening leads to product waste, and I couldn't access the full amount of lipstick in the pencil, which feels inefficient for a premium-priced item (retailing at around $30). The need for a separate sharpener (sold separately) only adds to the inconvenience. Overall, while the color payoff and initial application are impressive, the Powermatte High-Intensity Lip Pencil didn't deliver on its long-lasting promise, left my lips uncomfortably dry, and has a design that makes it hard to use the whole product. For me, these drawbacks outweigh the positives, and I'd hesitate to recommend it unless you prioritize pigment over comfort and convenience.

Hello Zofia, thank you for reaching out about your concerns with our Powermatte High Intensity Lip Pencil. We are very sorry to hear of your experience, and would like to recommend some helpful tips. I would make sure you start out by applying the color to a clean, dry lip (no previous lip balm or other lip products). This will ensure the formula sticks to the lip, and enhances its long-wearing ability. After the color has dried, leaving a comfortable matte finish, you can apply a little lip liner to clean up any edges. Keep in mind that if you would like to add a gloss, you may, but this will break down the color a little, so it wears more like a normal lipstick would. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to the appropriate team. - Samantha, NARS Artist

Very poor design.
Not at all 12 hours stay, Very poor design. A swivel or twist design, where turning the base of the tube moves the lipstick up through a helical track is broken

Hello Sophie, and thank you for reaching out about our Powermatte High Intensity Lip Pencil. This is a sharpenable pencil, so does not have a twist mechanism in it. Our double-blade sharpener works perfectly with this product to sharpen. I hope this helps! - Samantha, NARS Artist

Twist mechanism broken
I purchased 112 and agree with other opinions about getting a little dry after applying it, so it would not "bleed". 12 hours if you do not drink or eat, otherwise it is gone. The biggest problem I had was to twist the bottom that allows you to push the lipstick up for use. My husband had to use some pliers to turn the bottom, so I could use this pencil a little longer than 2 weeks.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in our Powermatte High Intensity Lip Pencil. This product is sharpenable, and not meant to be twisted. Twisting the bottom with pliers may cause damage to the product, so we advise to refrain from using it that way. Our NARS sharpener is designed specifically for use with this pencil, and will sharpen your product beautifully, so you can continue to use and enjoy! - Samantha, NARS Artist

Dolce Vita New formula
I’ve been using Nars Dolce Vita lip pencil for over a decade. Recently bought again and it’s not the same. it does last longer and it’s creamier than the old formula yet the colour now is much darker and dries out your lip during the day. Nars lost a loyal customer, currently searching for a new lip shade in other brands.

Miss the velvet formulation
The cruella and dolce vita colors are/were perfect for me. But the new formulation colors are slightly off and I don't like the way it applies/feels as much as the velvet.
