Nars Yu reminded me of Chanel Rouge Allure Exalte in pencil form.  I love this color for spring and summer. It’s a brightening color and, although it is cool, it looks so striking and feminine with warmer toned skin tones.

Here, Liz with Majella

Nars Majella6

When I originally posted this review, I got several comments that the color is much more red on other bloggers sites. Liz and I double-tested our Majella pencil last Saturday in daylight. Although in daylight the pencil seemed to go slightly more red/brown, we still feel that this is a fair representation of the images that we took under the same lighting conditions as the rest of this series.

These are available at Nars online website, Nars boutiques, Nordstrom.comSephora.com, and other Nars retailers.
