My Experience with NARS Mirihi Island Beach Velvet Lip Liner:

The lip liner comes in sleek and smart retractable pencil packaging pretty much to my liking. I totally appreciate a retractable mechanism with safety cap and sharpener in these lip liners unlike those sharpen able satin/matte & velvet lip pencils. I find them pretty user-friendly and travel friendly.

Coming over my shade “Mirihi Island Beach”, a beautiful plum rose true to its color, I mean it looks exactly same as seen in the packaging. It is my perfect winter plum shade as I pair it with my Bite Beauty high pigment pencil Rhubarb, it seems match made in heaven for my lovely rhubarb shade! I believe this shade is perfect for most of fair/medium Indian skin tones irrespective of age group as I see myself wearing it more often and it make me look gracefully gorgeous self if not younger! Typically I am sucker for reds, fuchsia pinks but I remember noticing this plum rose shade in one fall edition magazine and I was so fascinated by this shade that I decided to try it and there I go.

I am also impressed by the texture and formula of these lip liners which seem perfect for cold dry weather. The liner effortlessly slips on my lips like butter yet holding stiff tip to give well defined lips. It also impresses me to see that it easily forgives minor dryness of my lips with no settling and/or sitting in lip lines and dry patches. This particular shade gives a matte finish on my lips with 100% color pay off yet I feel quite soft and supple lips throughout day even after removing it off my lips. In fact even dry lips beauties might like it as it does not accentuate or aggravate dryness.

Since it seems a matte finish lip liner hence it is likely tricky for ageing lips but it again surprises me to see that it do not highlight my lip flaws or lip lines; it means we can easily pull it alone with just dab of clear gloss or simply using a lip balm beneath it. Wearing it beneath my lip color and or gloss certainly increases longevity of my lip makeup as I also notice considerable change in texture of my lip colors. I see no feathering and/or bleeding so far ever since I started using this liner beneath my lip products. Even it stays on & on for good 5+ hours there by fading onto soft plum sheen which is easily removable with oil or water. Even it stays on & on after heavy meals though we do need touch ups for centre of lips.

tip

I would definitely recommend this shade and lip liner to every beauty including gals with pigmented lips. This shade gives enough color pay off to conceal our lighter/deeper pigmented lips up to great extent that too with no cakey or cracking lines unlike other lip liners. I am really obsessed with lip liners these days and this lip liner simply increased my love and now I would like to try all 12 shades from this range.

IMBB Rating – 5/5
Well I can hardly think of any con as of now; like any matte lip product we need to well scrub & moisturize our lips with this lip liner as well. In fact it make my lips feel so much better even with minor dryness, now that I know the significance of wearing lip liner prior of using lip colors I can hardly stop wearing it. You gals should definitely give it a try, it is a must have for every beauty junkie. I am definitely getting all other shades from this range soon!
