NYX Cosmetics’ Jumbo Lip Pencil in Burgundy

A bit darker than I'd generally like to wear…but with NYX swatches, one can just never really tell. I can wear this if I apply lightly, blot, AND go over it with a pink gloss or balm. The color payoff is very good, I only went over my lips twice (because once doesn't get the entire lip) to get the color in the photo below. It does line well, but I also wonder if part of that isn't because the contrast between my skintone and this lip color is so strong! I don't like how the lip color doesn't seem to really adhere to the very center of my lower lip - the portion that's most often in contact with my bottom teeth, or tongue. Keep in mind, this photo was taken less than a minute after application - so there wasn't really much time for the lip color to come off. It never really went on! I have tried on and worn darker shades before, and haven't had this adhesion-problem to this extent, so it could be something in the formula of NYX's lip pencils.
