They are fat little pencils are ideal for covering the whole lip rather than as a liner, very much like a matte lipstick or lip paint. They are truly matte with no shine. However, despite this, they are not drying (although I would not call them moisturising either). They coat the lips in a powdery colour and provides great colour coverage.
The Red Square fades evenly (no ring) and lasts really well- through dinner and drinks!! The pink, being lighter fades slightly quicker but still lasts a few hours and is fairly drinks proof.
RED SQUARE
You can see from the picture this is a real orange based red. It is very bright and only one coat is needed to cover the lips with colour. It has a very matte finish, and as I mentioned, really long lasting.

This is a pale powder pink on the verge of lilac. Despite being an unusual shade it is quite flattering and suitable for the day. I usually wear it with a lip gloss over the top (Nars: Angelika)
Sorry for the scowling pics!
Nars have recently bought out a Velvet Gloss version of the pencil. I am hoping to pick some of these up soon. I have tried them out in Space NK and they are much sheerer and I would guess they would not have the longevity of the the Velvet matte but I will give them a go and let you know!
Lovely!
