LOL! You don’t really have to understand exactly how to shift a hoopty out of neutral to roll with the three full-size pencils in the utmost NARS lip pencil set, however a healthy appreciation for neutral lips colors would most likely help. This trio of pale, pink lip pencils is all about ze neutrals.
It’s one of two restricted edition summertime 2015 NARS lip sets (the other one has brighter shades, as well as it’s called true NARS) offered now on the internet as well as at Nordstrom, as well as likewise pertaining to NARS shops as well as the NARS web site August 1.
Ultimate NARS is the a lot more reserved option, however that doesn’t indicate the colors will slink into the shadows as well as sit shaking in the corner. They aren’t those type of neutrals. Pink guava Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park, pale awesome pink Satin Lip Pencil in Stourhead, as well as pink mauve velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Sex maker are all completely saturated neutral shades that like to go into stage ideal with high kicks. They’re all opaque sufficient to blank out the natural color of my pigmented lips without needing any type of assist from a concealer.

Wear them individually like I’m doing here, or cook up your own special shade by blending the pencils together, if you’re feeling artsy-fartsy.
Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park
Satin Lip Pencil in Stourhead
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Sex Machine
Like the true NARS set, the pencils in utmost NARS are full size, as well as they include a classy mirrored bring situation (it’s type of difficult to open) as well as a pencil sharpener.
In this set, I utilize Biscayne Park as well as Sex maker the most. Both are smooth mid-toned pinkish neutrals that are truly simple to wear if you have a tan (and most likely likewise if you don’t).
I’m not as well keen on awesome pale pink Stourhead, though, partly since it makes my lips look a bit corpsy (no, that’s not a genuine word), as well as partly since it clings to any type of flakes on my lips as well as settles into my vertical lip lines.
If I were to suggest one of these two summertime NARS lip sets over the other one, I’d select true NARS, since each of its three pencils feels flawless, as well as since it likewise includes NARS Yu, one of the standout lip shades in the entire NARS line (IMHO).
