NARS 413BLKR Velvet Matte Lip Pencil
One Vibrant Fuchsia in Pencil Form
NARS 413BLKR Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($24.00 for 0.086 oz.) is described as a “fuchsia.” It’s a vibrant fuchsia-red with the barest flecks of iridescent blue sparkle that just peek through the color. Tom Ford Aphrodisiac is less matte and has no sparkle. MAC Moxie is similar, but it is completely matte and less blue-based. Illamasqua Atomic is extremely comparable–it even has the iridescent shimmer; it appears to have more of it.
NARS’ Velvet Matte Lip Pencil is supposed to combine the convenience of a pencil with the application of a lipstick . The formula is meant to be rich in color, long-wearing, non-drying, and have a “velvety matte finish.” It can be used for lining, all-over lip color, or paired with another lip product. It has opaque color coverage, and the finish is definitely matte–there’s a tiny sheen from the sparkle, but it really looks rather matte on. I found this particular shade a wee bit drying. It wore for six hours on and left behind a slight stain, but my lips were parched after wearing it. The pencil itself did tug and pull at lips during application, so getting even color took more effort than your typical lipstick would have.

The dryness in texture is evident. You look lovely in florals, I’ve rarely seen you wear prints!
I usually wear black for photos, since it puts the emphasis on the makeup so doesn’t get pulled at all by the clothing, but I was on my way out and wanted to snap this one 😉
Aww, you’re wearing a Ted Baker dress aren’t u?:-) The colour suits you. Unfortunately, makes ME look pale 🙁
Good eye, Petra! I bought it for my sister’s graduation, but I loveeee it and have been wearing it a lot this past summer.
That color is pretty, but this would totally kill my normally dry lips!
Eeek, this makes your lips look a but dry! That’s too bad that this pencil is drying and tugs, since I know this formula is usually pretty awesome.
Neat and lovely dress/top! You look like a respectable married woman now, haha! 😉 xx
Flashy! But I kinda like it… 🙂
Your lips do look dry! I use these for layering when I want a really long lasting lip. They are perfect as a base with a touch of similar lip colour.
And this was the only lip product I had put on for the day, too!
Ouch! Lip tars = Painless and better coverage!! :0)
I’ve never tried NARS before! I’ll have to give it a go, the color is just beautiful!
Seriously, stop posting, you’re making me feel lazy for taking a break! Aren’t you supposed to be on your honeymoon or something??
But thanks for reviewing, I had a major lemming for this and the eyeshadow duo/single but now that I’ve seen it on a skintone similar to mine I no longer want it. I think it’s one of the rare times you’ve saved me money instead of convinced me to spend more, lol!
LOL! I wasn’t blogging much on Saturday, and only in the AM and late evening for Sunday! No honeymoon for us 🙂
So pretty!
My lips are in pain just looking at yours. If you find these dry, it’ll probably make my lips bleed. :O
I’m not in love with the look of the texture, but the sheen is kinda neat.
This *looks* dry and uncomfortable to wear – the color’s nice, but it’d kill my lips. Pass, thanks.
I totally agree with you and on top of that it looks to sheer.
:O you’re not wearing earrings!
Love the color and don’t mind a more dry texture, but glad you mentioned Atomic as a dupe because they do look very, very similar and I already have that one!
Love the color but hate those errant bits of glitter. Why put it in a product like this in such a small amount? It only looks like it’s fallen from your eyes or another product or something (no offense)!
I’ve always wanted to try NARS but I haven’t found the right product.
Their blushes are incredible. I’d start there. I have Orgasm, Dolce Vita and Sin. I also picked up a Larger Than Life Eyeliner recently and absolutely love it.
This kind of reminds me of Illamasqua’s Atomic..I don’t have it, but I will certainly be comparing. I love those colours like Illa’s Underworld lipstick where another colour shows through, in this case, the purple underneath the fuschia. Def worth a look for me!
Oops! I think in your Product & Review FAQ, you still have the “Any Dupes?” listed for that blue Wet & Wild nail polish you reviewed a couple days ago.
The color looks great on you though!
Thanks, Chloe!
ugh, it’s so dry. your poor lips 🙁 it’d be a D for me or less. plus, it’s expensive. doesn’t worth it.
This reminds me of Milani Flashy Lip Flash.
Maybe it would be better if used with MAC P + P lip?…
This is a beautiful color on. I have this and it looks great with tan skin!
Hi the dupe for this is the Sonia Kahuck matte velvet lip pencil. Same size too and the only wierd is the names are wierd for my cruella red the closest match is rose nude its not nude its a cruella red 8$ at target
