Requested makeup-look and mini review of the NARS Velvet Matt Lip Pencil in Red Square

Hi everyone!

Some time ago one of my friends requested me to do a makeup look she had seen on a pictures that was actually a drawing. I have no idea who make the drawing, but it is beautiful!

 So here's the picture my friend sent me

And here's the look I created

I though I would share this look with you guys. There's no tutorial for this or anything, but I could do one if you want to? 

Last time I went to Sephora in Copenhagen, they had opened a NARS counter, so I got a Velvet Matte Lip Pencil. My very first NARS product, and what a first impression of the brand! 

 So this is the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, and it's in the colour Red Square

 I accidentally used it before taking the pictures (could NOT wait!), so it's a bit crooked on one side - I apologize for that. It's of course perfectly, and not crookedly shaped when you buy it! :-)

 

So here's the name of it again - not so sure if you were able to see it probably in the other picture. 

Aaaaand here's a selfie of me wearing it! If I look a bit tired, it's because I woke up at 5.20 AM to drive to Copenhagen (takes about 2,5 hours), and I had been walking around in Copenhagen all day with my sister, so I was preeeeety tired when I took the picture ;-)

So this lip pencil is just AMAZING! It doesn't feel dry on your lips at all, and the lady at the counter said that it has something in it to make it matte, but not dry (of course I can't remember what exactly it was... Sorry!) It almost feels soft and velvety on the lips in a weird way, and if you haven't tried out one of these Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, you should go try one! It stays on for a really long time, and the only times where I have had to touch up is after eating. I'm really liking the colour, which is a orange-red kinda color. It's a really nice summery colour - that's for sure! But I do think, that it can be a good fall colour as well, because bold reds are all ways inn for fall.

It was a bit pricy for a lip product I think (can't remember the exact amount I paid since I threw away the receipt, but I'm sure it was over 200 DKK) but it is NARS and it's such a good quality, so it's totally worth it! And everything is more pricy in Denmark because of taxes and stuff, so I bet it's much cheaper in the UK and US and so forth.

Bye for now,
