Hello beauties!

Oh, this charming phase... Nude Makeup.

What beauty hasn’t tried this gentle and one-color lip makeup? Who would actually refuse such a delicate and tempting nude? I love wine lipsticks, lip glosses and pencils of cause...sometimes I just want to be cute and modest.

To make it happen I use the mechanical RETRACTABLE LIP LINER in the shades Natural and Nude from the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP.

My experience with the product.

I love using lip pencils solo or with a lip gloss. Also, I’d like to use it with a matte lipstick in the nearest future.

  • Let’s start with the shade MPL01 Natural.

It’s a natural beige shade, suitable for every nude lipstick, i.e. caramel, chocolate and beige tones WITHOUT any hint of pink…

This pencil is a little bit of a hassle to apply, because it’s very soft and I have to correct and blend it out very carefully.

The color lasts really well and survives after tea, coffee and a kiss.

  • The second shade is MPL10 Nude.

It’s the nudest shade among all the nude lippies. It’s a delicate, beige-pink shade that is close to my lip color.

It has the same quality as the previous shade. It’s long-lasting and highly-pigmented.

This color is great for all nude lipsticks with a hint of pink: dusty rose, pink etc.

Pros.

  • Multi-purpose. I use it both to contour my lips and as a base for a lipstick or a lip gloss.

  • Well-pigmented. The line turns out to be very bright, sharp and clear.

  • Doesn’t have to be sharpened. Sometimes I’m too lazy to sharpen the pencil. I guess you are too. This pencil is already sharpened properly.

  • Perfect for the nude makeup enthusiasts. Both shades will be great to create a nude makeup.

  • Long-lasting. The contour will look perfect till a snack.

Cons.

  • The pencil is incredibly soft!

Sometimes it’s even hard to draw a perfectly sharp line. This drawback is quite significant and I wanted to give this product even 3 stars for that! Nevertheless, the pros outweigh the cons.

  • The pencil breaks easily! Therefore it doesn’t last long. The quality is very disputable.

Conclusion: The pencil does have its pros and cons. I use both shades quite often, especially when I’m on a ‘lipstick diet.’

I give it 4 with a minus.

Repurchase? I doubt it.

Recommend? Why not, especially when you are not all thumbs.
