NARS Velvet Lip Liner ($24 US/$28 CAD) is a new 12 shade range of lip liners from NARS that pair perfectly with their new Audacious Lipsticks. The shades I have tested are Belle Mare (sangria) and Costa Smeralda (Shocking Pink).
They have the same propel/repel (twist-up) design as the NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wearing Eyeliner.
Just like the eyeliners they have a sharpener hidden in the end of the pencil. I love this because even with twist up eyeliners you still sometimes would like a very fine point.
The formula is wonderful. Firm enough that it is stable in the twist-up pencil design but soft and smooth enough that they apply rich, opaque pigment smoothly without any tugging or dryness. These are incredibly long wearing. I love to cover my lips in the liner and top with a coordinating gloss or lipstick for a very long-wearing lip look.
The twelve shades are:
- Playa Dorado – Vibrant orange red
- Waimea – Nude peach pink
- Nihiwatu – Cardinal red
- Patong – Beach Pink rose
- Costa Smeralda – Shocking pink
- Medano – Beach Spiced wine
- Anse Soleil – Coral pink
- Mirihi Island Beach – Plum rose
- El Agua – Lavender rose
- Lanikai – Burgundy
- Belle Mare – Sangria
- Karekare – Bright rose
Available now at select NARS retailers (including Sephora, Nordstrom, Hudson’s Bay, Holt Renfrew, and Murale) and www.narscosmetics.com.
