Got some questions about the MAC Velvetease Lip Pencils the other day…
Do they retract"
From Tatiana:
“They twist up, but do they retract as well" Or is it just a one way mechanism" I love the NARS pencils, but the caps always fall off in my bag and make a mess. I like that I don?t need a sharpener for these.”
Hi Tatiana,
Yes, they twist up, AND they retract, so you’re not stuck with a pencil tip poking out of the end, which leads me to wonder…why does anyone ever make a lip pencil that doesn’t retract" That sounds like crazy business to me!

Are they like the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils"
From Jessica, Alexis and, seriously, half of YouTube:
How do these compare to the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils"
Hi guys,
They’re similar. Like the NARS Velvet Mattes, the MAC Velvetease Pencils feel light, comfy and creamy, and they’re packed with pigment. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one, but I think the MAC pencils are slightly thinner and creamier, so they go on smoother.
I also think they’re a little less drying than the NARS Velvet Mattes.
Oh, and the sharpening sitch" The NARS ones have to be sharpened, which can be a pain if you don’t like toting a sharpener around with you.
