Meet NARS Powermatte High Intensity Lip Pencil in Kiss Me Deadly, a bold orange red shade designed to deliver high impact color in a single pencil.

Why it stands out

Designed with a sharpenable tip, the pencil lets you shape your lip line and fill in with precision.

• Sharpenable tip enables clean edges and precise lining
• Pigment rich color designed for a long lasting appearance throughout daily activities

How to use for best results

Prep lips with a gentle exfoliation to create a smooth canvas. Sharpen the pencil to a fine point for accuracy. Outline the lips and fill in for a high impact color that can endure through portions of your day. Keep in mind that a separate sharpener is sold separately for maintenance.

• Sharpen to a fine tip for precise lines

Care and longevity considerations
