This is the result of a long search. I've tried so many matte lipsticks and lip crayons that didn't last or dried out my lips. The Nars version stays put and feels creamy. I need to apply after eating, which is normal, otherwise it stays put. The color Good Times is a fantastic neutral for me, my lips but better. I plan to order a few more now so I always have a back up.
I was looking for a LONGGGG lasting lip pencil! It maybe my fault but I was looking for a lip pencil that stays on longer and not having to reapply consistently, sadly I had to with this lip pencil. Feeling on lipS after apply is nice just wished it stayed on longer then ten minutes Someday I will find a lip pencil that keeps.
I've never worn Cruella and not gotten a compliment. It is just gorgeous. It was recommended to me as a universally flattering shade--and I've recommended it to countless friends--and it's true that it looks good on everyone. You can use just a swipe and rub your lips together for a pretty wash of color or go full glam, and it's perfect either way.
The reason for only four stars is that the cover has come off a few times in my bag and I have to clean off the pencil with a tissue. Wish there was a way to make the cover stay on better.
First I should preface this by saying I like more subtle makeup. I want to be a girl wearing makeup not makeup wearing a girl. For me this is great. It is a soft red that looks colorful but natural. You can also make it not perfect which I like. It stays put and gives just the right pop of color! Two thumbs way up!
