Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

Tell me, what is the problem with lip pencils? I think the problem is that they are not as smooth or definitive as lipsticks. However, the advantage of a lip pencil is that they are pencils. So you have a higher degree of maneuverability, a greater ability to contour shape and control the area over which to apply the color.

For instance, with regular lipsticks you often run the risk of smudging and then you have to smack your lips using handkerchiefs or napkins to get things in the right shape. Well, with the pencil you can get it exactly the way you want.

That is where the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil comes into the picture. It is a premium product and is pretty expensive. The pencil is priced at $23. Compare that to a premium lipstick of $6. That is a hell of a lot. But the fact remains that if you are looking for well-defined lips you really have no alternative.
