Nars Rikugien1

Nars Satin Lip Pencils ($25) each are just being released. Our overview of all shades and the formula is here. This is part of a series of posts that looks at all shades on lips. At the close, we’ll do a wrap up post of all shades again for this 13-pencil release. Here, Nars Rikugien is a cool woody rose tone that has admirable complexity.

 If you look closely, you’ll see a bit of subtle shimmer on Nars Rikugien:

Nars Biscayne Park1

Nars Satin Lip Pencils ($25) each are just being released. Our overview of all shades and the formula is here. This is part of a series of posts that looks at all shades on lips. At the close, we’ll do a wrap up post of all shades again for this 13-pencil release. Here, Nars Biscayne Park is a soft deep nude with a touch of pink that should work for both warm and cool tones.

Nars Biscayne Park2

Nars calls Biscayne Park a “pink guava.” We found that this is a soft sandy beige. It’s a soft office-friendly or woman-next-door shade, certainly something that could go into your bag because it is going to work with a wide variety of makeup looks.

Did we mention that there are several nudes and neutrals in this new Nars Satin Lip Pencil line? I think you can see that this is the case. It would be a little difficult to imagine that one could not find “your nude” among them.

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

Nars Lodhi1

Nars Satin Lip Pencils ($25) each are just being released. Our overview of all shades and the formula is here. This is part of a series of posts that looks at all shades on lips. At the close, we’ll do a wrap up post of all shades again for this 13-pencil release. Here, Nars Lodki is a crowd-pleasing coral that is very easy to wear.

 Nars calls this a “vibrant coral.” We found that it is a pretty, brightening shade.

Nars Isola Bella1

Nars Satin Lip Pencils ($25) each are just being released. Our overview of all shades and the formula is here. This is part of a series of posts that looks at all shades on lips. At the close, we’ll do a wrap up post of all shades again for this 13-pencil release. Here, Isola Bella is a peach beige that has enough brown to hold its own on some cooler skin tones. Of course, peach is an easy choice for warm skin tones as well.

Nars Iso Bella is on the deeper-toned side of the nude scale:

Nars Floralies1

 Nars Satin Lip Pencils ($25) each are just being released. Our overview of all shades and the formula is here. This is part of a series of posts that looks at all shades on lips. At the close, we’ll do a wrap up post of all shades again for this 13-pencil release. Here, Floralies is a light apricot, which we found quite warm on our warm-toned skin.

Nars Floralies2

This is the type of nude that goes well with a smoky eye–it’s not quite the same as a skin-tone color. There’s just enough color separation to keep the tone from looking like concealer on the lips.
