Oh, François! You know…even though I’ve dropped so many hardcore hints that you need to add a “Karen” to your Audacious Lipstick line, and even though you keep ignoring said hints, you’re still my number one makeup guy. I’m not mad atcha’ for not including K-Money among the new fall shades of your Audacious Lipsticks.
Yes, I just referred to myself in third person. With my street name. KAY. MON. EEE.
NARS has six new limited edition fall lippies, and there’s a lot of brown! It’s very autumn leaves. Some of the colors look similar to existing Audacious shades at first glance. I mean, I thought they’d be easy to dupe, so at first I was like, “Eh, show me something I haven’t seen before,” but they’re actually tweaked a li’l bit.
Like Dayle, which is the light purple, looks like it could dupe Dominique in the tube, but it’s quite a bit paler on the lips, and it’s the same with most of the other new colors — they look similar to existing shades but really aren’t.
The only shade that really does seem to be super similar to an existing shade is reddish brown Louise, which could be a stand-in for Sandra, one of the permanent shades.
The Audacious Lipsticks are a separate line from the original NARS lippie collection, with its classic colors like Honolulu Honey, Schiap and Jungle Red.
The Audacious lippies are the ones with the magnetic cap that automatically twists and clicks into place, and they’re all, across the board, intensely pigmented. I think of them as the solidified version of the NARS Powermatte Liquid Lipsticks.
If the idea of sheer lipstick makes you wanna toss your head back and go “HAHAHAHA, NO SON!” they’re for you. They’re intense, long-lasting, and they don’t settle into fine lines. They’re a lot like the Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks like that.
Big surprise, the one I’ve been wearing most of this new batch is nude warm beige Vibeke. It looks so good with warm golden brown eyeshadows and peach blushes.
All six of the new Audacious Lipsticks are limited edition, and you can find them at NARS counters now for $32 a pop.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Linda, Louise… Such beautiful colors. And exactly my preference, opaque.
I have been curious about the Audacious lipstick line. While these LE shades are not my “cup of tea'”, I have my eyes on a few of the shades in the permanent line (Apoline, Anna or Barbara) for example. I know they have a shade called Jane, but I think it is a little too orange in tone. I tend to go for rosey-pink tones. These are pretty funky, though, maybe if I was younger and more experimental.
Have fun!
Anna and Barbara are two of my all-time favorite lipsticks. This line is worth the splurge if you’re in the market to try one or two. 🙂 Very opaque, moisturizing, and long-wearing.
I got Linda and Vibeke and I’ve been LURVING them for the fall! ♡ Well, internal fall… if the weather will finally cooperate…! ;P
Regarding the limited-edition-ness of these shades, I had the impression that something like 3 are limited and 3 are additions to the permanent collection? I forget which is which for all of them, but I do remember being disappointed that Linda and Vibeke are amongst the limited bunch and Dayle and Kirat are amongst the permanent additions. (I remember thinking that to me Linda/Vibeke would be better permanent additions to expand the colors available in the caramel/peachy direction than the slightly harder to wear Dayle/Kirat!)
Dayle is such a unique shade! I would love to wear it but I highly doubt I can pull it off!
Jane and Catherine are calling my name! Not literally I mean of course! I’m also still waiting for a Nars Audicious lipstick called Sissi! I would buy it even if the color isn’t my choice lol.
Jane and Catherine (I know old colors) are calling my name-the new ones not so much. I’m also still waiting for a Nars Audicious lipstick called Sissi! I would buy it even if the color isn’t my choice lol.
Kirat is amazing! I can’t even.
