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.

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.
NARS The Audacious Lipstick is available at narscosmetics.com, Sephora and Department/Specialty Stores for $32.
