Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in the shade Walkyrie is the perfect muted brownish red. I am in love with it. It reminds me of Kat Denning's lip color in the show Two Broke Girls which is supposedly Tarte's Envy Matte Lip Pencil (also a gorgeous shade).


I love 90's lip colors. They have a muted brown undertone that I think is so pretty. This shade is described as a warm coral red creme. I can see some coral tones in it and red but also brown. I think the coral stops it from being too brown and muddy. It's a great red for people who are hesitant to wear a power red during the day, or night for that matter. But this shade is definitely a power red in my opinion. It is such a sexy shade.

I feel like it would suite a wide variety of skin tones because it is kind of neutral or muted I guess. But I think the darker your complexion it will take on a different look and I think the coral will pop more.

I have purchased two Nars duos within the past month and they are making their way into my everyday makeup routine. Both are really nice tie ins to some of my palettes that are missing that one shade I wish it had. Well these two duos are really working out fantastically for that. They retail at $34.00 each and are part of the permanent line.
