Hi!

[jacquiiramirez]

I was wondering if you guys knew a good lip pencil to use with the Nars Cosmetics- POWERMATTE LIP PIGMENT - Brick Red. It would really help a lot 😞

@jacquiiramirez  Which Powermatte shade did you mean? The one I have that's brick red is NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment Vain  , so that's the one I swatched for you with 5 different lip liners. 🙂 I have a few other lip liner shades that could work but, unfortunately, they're very hard to find these days. (Some have been discontinued.) So I stuck to a few you can easily find. Also, shade preference depends of course on how you like your liner to look with your lipstick: some folks like to use a shade close to their natural lip color, others prefer a close match to the lipstick, and some like a slightly deeper shade for lip contouring. That's why I included a bit of shade variety. 

Took the photo before Vain had a chance to fully dry down.

Lip liners: 

• NARS Precision Lip Liner Mariachi  
• PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Manhattan 
• PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Blood Lust 
• PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Living Legend 
• PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Major Red 

I love the PMG gel lip liners because once they've had a minute to set, they do not budge unless you eat greasy/oily food. But I also love NARS's Precision Lip Liners. NARS describes Mariachi as brick red. 

I didn't swatch any MAC liners but I'm sure they have a brick red match... all my MAC liners (that aren't discontinued) are colors other than red.
