Overview

NARS packs the Powermatte lip pencil with dense pigment that glides on creamy and dries down to a bold, transfer-proof matte, here in the red shade Cruella in a travel-size mini.

Liner precision and full lipstick color in one pencil make a bold red simple to apply and carry. The mini size runs out quickly with daily use, and matte formulas may feel dry on chapped lips.

Who it's for

Suited to bold lip looks, events and travel kits. Those who want sheer or glossy lips should look at a tinted balm.

Performance notes

The cream-to-matte texture glides on, then sets as it dries, which is what locks in transfer resistance. Power Pigment Complex saturates the lip so one pass delivers dense color.
