Editor's Review

NARS Red Square Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($27.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety consistency that was almost creamy compared to most shades, though I would not say it felt wet or emollient. The lip color glided on and did not tug or drag on my lips. The color stayed on nicely for over six hours and was slightly drying toward the end.

Surprisingly awesome on me! I thought it would be too bright but it is superb as a summer red. Sometimes I tone it down with Dragon Girl to make it a little less orange.
