NARS Satin Lip Pencil 2.2g - Hyde Park

NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Hyde Park is a jumbo-format lip pencil in a striking neutral-toned medium-dark red — a sophisticated cardinal-red that reads with a slight berry undertone, designed to flatter a wide range of skin tones. The creamy satin formula deposits intense, vibrant colour in a single pass and dries down to a long-wearing, comfortable satin finish that doesn't drag, dry the lips out or settle into lines.

About NARS

NARS Cosmetics was founded in 1994 in New York by French makeup artist François Nars, with the original 12 lipsticks shot for Vogue by Mario Sorrenti. The Satin Lip Pencil format combines the precision of a lip liner with the colour-pay-off of a lipstick — designed to allow the lips to be lined and filled with a single product, with no need for a separate liner.

Shade — Hyde Park

Hyde Park is a neutral-toned, medium-dark red with a slight berry tilt. The neutral undertone means it doesn't read as either cool-blue or strictly warm-orange — making it a flattering pick across most skin tones, from fair to deep. The shade lends itself to a polished, grown-up red lip look — sharper than a soft mauve, less dramatic than a fire-engine red.

Key features

• Jumbo pencil format — lines and fills the lip in a single product.
• Creamy, smooth glide — comfortable to apply, no dragging.
• Satin finish — between a matte and a gloss; flattering on most lip textures.
• Intense, even colour pay-off in a single pass.
• Long-wearing formula that holds through the day.
• Comfortable wear — doesn't dry out the lips.

Who it's for

Best suited to anyone wanting a "polished red" lip look without committing to the full intensity of a true blue-red or fire-engine shade. The neutral undertone makes Hyde Park forgiving across most skin tones, particularly flattering on light-medium to deep complexions. A useful one-product lip pick for weddings, events, evenings and confident daytime makeup.

How to use

1. Sharpen the pencil to a fresh point if needed.
2. Trace the outer edge of the lips, following your natural lip line.
3. Fill the entire lip area in with the same pencil for an even, sealed colour base.
4. Blot lightly with a tissue and reapply for extra longevity.
5. Add a touch of gloss over the centre of the lip for added dimension if desired.
