I bought this based on my sephora Color IQ. I should have tested it because the color did not match my skin at all, it way too orange. None of the colors seem to match my light cool toned skin. Also I found it to be drying. I would recommend that anyone with normal to dry skin look for another option. It also settled into lines after a couple hours of wear. This might also be due to my dry skin. I like a lot of Urban Decay products but unfortunately this one was a total miss for me.

Somehow I accidentally rated this as a 2 so I had to correct that. This is really nice setting powder! It goes on easily and doesn't cause a white cast. It's a bit pricier then I like but it seems to last forever. I haven't noticed any problems with photography yet but I'll have to keep that in mind after reading another review here. I agree that it is great for setting under eye concealer!

Belle is an everyday lip & cheek color. It's a slightly pink nude. The product is quick and easy to apply on Lips with the pencil. For cheeks I draw three lines then blend with my fingers. When I'm in a hurry NUDESTIX lip + cheek pencils save me a lot of time & they look great. The color is sheer but can be built to opaque on Lips. The formula is long lasting. It can be slightly drying so I use a thin coat of Balm first. It lasts a long time & only needs sharpening after a few uses.

This Pencil is terrible. It crumbles when you try to use it. It also is looks orange. The NYX Wonder Pencil is much better & it comes in 3 skin tones. I've also tried Urban decays 24/7 waterline pencil. It performs as well as the NYX one but it costs more then 3x the price.

I like this product except a few things. 1.) It has a scent which is often not good for your lips & can cause damage! (There are some ingredients that benefit the skin too but why ruin it with fragrance) 2.) It shouldn't be flavoured since you should not be eating your lip product! I know that sometimes you can taste it but if it doesn't tast that great you learn not to lick your lips. 3.)The amount of product is less then you usually get & the price should clearly reflect the difference. For those reasons I've decided not to buy more of these although I love the look & feel. I also appreciate that Bite tries to make healthy products so if they ever make an unscented lip product I will try it.

Contains peppermint oil which irritates skin & causes dryness. Otherwise it would be pretty good.
