Cute But messy
I had never tried any NARS lipsticks before, as this product was my very first impression of any NARS lip products. Right from the application, I could see the shade was much richer and brighter than the shade on the packaging. The color truly is a passionate red tone though. When I applied this lip...

Cruella is awful on fair neutral skin and NARS customer care is non-existent.

Comments about Powermatte High-Intensity Lip Pencil
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!
Moisturizing pencil with bold, flattering color
Love this lip pencil- it does not feel dry on your lips and is so easy to apply while also giving so much color. You really don't need to add any gloss, etc and can just use this if you want. I bought two colors and will go back to buy a third because the color choices are universally flattering. They provide a great amount of color, but not overwhelming.
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.
