NARS Audacious Lipstick Review and Swatches

May 19, 2016

Back in 2014, NARS launched The Audacious Lipstick, a 40-piece line of lip color that has quickly become one of my favorites.

Housed in a modern, matte-black metallic case with a magnetic closure, the NARS Audacious Lipstick comes in a specially designed sculpted bullet embossed with the NARS logo. The formula claims to be pigment-rich for an intense, full-coverage finish in a single stroke and comes with nutrient-rich ingredients known to smooth, moisturize and volumize.

There are 40 shades available, ranging from the prettiest nudes and corals to vibrant reds and pinks and smoldering plums.

Claudia – Cool pink
Catherine – Sunny guava
Michiyo – Shocking pink
Juliette – Pink coral
Greta – Wild azalea
Natalie – Flamingo
Angela – Pink orchid
Grace – Bright pink coral

Anna – Smokey rose
Olivia – Garnet
Anita – Antique rose
Leslie – Cherrywood

Dominique – Pink lilac
Julie – Nude pink

Carmen – Geranium
Ingrid – Merlot

The lipsticks applied evenly with a creamy texture and the color payoff was superb just like the NARS Cinematic Lipsticks I loved. They also felt semi-moisturizing yet lightweight on my dry lips. The finish was satiny with just a tinge of shine and I was able to get a good 4-5 hours of wear out of them without touching up.
