Powermatte high-intensity lip pencil - Crayon à lèvres

Teinte Dolce vita

La teinte Dolce vita n’est plus du tout la meme. Deception totale ! Je ne racheterai pas

THIS IS THE PERFECT RED!!

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!

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.

Very poor design.

Not at all 12 hours stay, Very poor design. A swivel or twist design, where turning the base of the tube moves the lipstick up through a helical track is broken

très mécontente

je ne comprends pas, il y a à peine un cm de mine et impossible de faire sortir davantage de mine. C'est une escroquerie. Je pense que dans deux semaines, j'aurai fini le produit alors qu'un rouge à levres classique dure deux ans !

Teinte Donce Vita

Je suis tellement déçue. J'ai porté pendant des années la teinte dolce vita et voilà que vous avez changé la formulation car la couleur n'est plus celle que j'ai connu . La couleur etait sublime et maintenant elle n'a plus rien à voir . Quel dommage...

Twist mechanism broken

I purchased 112 and agree with other opinions about getting a little dry after applying it, so it would not "bleed". 12 hours if you do not drink or eat, otherwise it is gone. The biggest problem I had was to twist the bottom that allows you to push the lipstick up for use. My husband had to use some pliers to turn the bottom, so I could use this pencil a little longer than 2 weeks.

Dolce Vita New formula

I’ve been using Nars Dolce Vita lip pencil for over a decade. Recently bought again and it’s not the same. it does last longer and it’s creamier than the old formula yet the colour now is much darker and dries out your lip during the day. Nars lost a loyal customer, currently searching for a new lip shade in other brands.

Miss the velvet formulation

The cruella and dolce vita colors are/were perfect for me. But the new formulation colors are slightly off and I don't like the way it applies/feels as much as the velvet.

Nars is the only matte lipstick I wear

"I absolutely love the Endless Love shade of the Powermatte Lip Pencil-it's richly pigmented and glides on effortlessly with a smooth, velvety texture. After being so impressed with my first purchase, I ordered Cruella just two days later. I also own the same shade in the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, and both formulas are exceptional. The staying power, bold color payoff, and comfortable wear make this a top-notch product. I exclusively wear NARS lip products because every time I do, I'm asked, 'What lipstick are you wearing?'"

PLEASE BRING BACK THE VELVET FORMULA

The new formula of Dolce vita is just too pigment and the color is already different. The old formula is much more comfortable as I can build up the pigment w/o making my lips look like I just put tons of paint on them.

You will endlessly love it

This is my second Power Matte Lip Pencil in the color Endless Love. I'm impressed by both the texture and the color of the lip pencil. Even after eating, I didn't reapply it, and it stayed on my lips just as well as it did the first time I applied it.
