NARS Claudette Audacious Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Augustine

NARS Augustine Audacious Lipstick NARS Augustine Audacious Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, light-medium rosy-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with a moderately dense, smooth consistency that was lightly creamy–but less creamy than other Audacious shades–that adhered evenly on my lips.

I felt like the formula emphasized my lip texture a little bit, though not to the point where it was noticeable in person. It wore well for five hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$34.00/0.14 oz. - $242.86 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "one-stroke, full-coverage" pigmentation with a "soft matte finish" that is "long-lasting" and "hydrating." The formula is best characterized by its texture: creamy, smooth, and slightly denser/thicker on (but not heavy) compared to the typical lipstick formula. Most of the shades are opaque, while "weak" shades are more semi-opaque. The majority of the colors I've tested have applied evenly and smoothly with good glide and feel comfortable on my lips. They tend to last between four and six hours and was lightly hydrating to non-drying. There was no noticeable scent or taste.

Claudette

NARS Claudette Audacious Lipstick NARS Claudette Audacious Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark red-orange with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging and dragging.

The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and moderately creamy with a bit more substance to it without feeling thick or emphasizing my lip lines noticeably. It stayed on nicely for six hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Lea

NARS Lea Audacious Lipstick NARS Lea Audacious Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, darker copper with warm, red undertones and a satin finish. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and moderately dense without being heavy or thick to war, so the product glided on readily without settling noticeably into my lip lines. It had nearly opaque color coverage that adhered evenly and lasted well for five and a half hours on me. The formula felt lightly hydrating overall.
