Powermatte High-intensity Lip Pencil - Tužka na rty

I Would Buy this Product Again and Again

Even better than I anticipated: I have never had any luck with lip pencils, as they either prove to be drying or they are so glossy, they cannot hold the color and bleed almost immediately. NARS proved me wrong: This pencil delivered beautiful, saturated color that was moist enough and pigmented enough to stay on all day. Perfection!

No sharpener and doesn’t fit into a regular size sharpener. Not even the larger side. Will not purchase again

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.

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

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.

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.

Nars is the only matte lipstick I wear

"I absolutely love the Endless Love shade of the Powermatte Lip Pencil-it's richly pigmented and glides on effortlessly with a smooth, velvety texture. After being so impressed with my first purchase, I ordered Cruella just two days later. I also own the same shade in the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, and both formulas are exceptional. The staying power, bold color payoff, and comfortable wear make this a top-notch product. I exclusively wear NARS lip products because every time I do, I'm asked, 'What lipstick are you wearing?'"

PLEASE BRING BACK THE VELVET FORMULA

The new formula of Dolce vita is just too pigment and the color is already different. The old formula is much more comfortable as I can build up the pigment w/o making my lips look like I just put tons of paint on them.

Outstanding and Amazing color and product

"I definitely love the Endless Love shade of the Powermatte Lip Pencil-it's richly pigmented and glides on effortlessly with a smooth, velvety texture.

You will endlessly love it

This is my second Power Matte Lip Pencil in the color Endless Love. I'm impressed by both the texture and the color of the lip pencil. Even after eating, I didn't reapply it, and it stayed on my lips just as well as it did the first time I applied it.
