"I got this in Red 192. The color was vivid and the pigment was strong but the formula was really average. It applies soft but dries dry and can go on a little uneven. Aside from the color, this pencil was nothing special. This particular Shu Uemura lip liner had me running back to my *much cheaper* red lip liner from L\'oreal (about $7). I wouldn\'t buy this product again, especially at this price. "

    "Smooth but not long lasting at at all. Pretty colors."

    "So soft, easily glides on lips (a pleasure to apply!) and better yet, stays on lips! Easy to control pencil, excellent pigments & beautiful shades these lip pencils truly are the bomb!! Shu Uemura makes another excellent product!"

    "my friends and I all agree that this is the best nudey pink pencil there is, and we\'ve tried many! "

    "Shu Uemura\'s Drawing Lip Pencil glides on softly and smoothly and the color is vivid, but it just doesn\'t stay on long enough. This pencil keeps lipstick from feathering and looks great, but I prefer a pencil that I don\'t have to reapply several times daily. "
