NARS Apoline Audacious Lipstick
NARS Apoline Audacious Lipstick

NARS Apoline Audacious Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with warm, rosy undertones and a satin sheen. It had good pigmentation that covered the lips evenly, while the texture was creamy, easy to apply, and comfortable to wear. I noticed some of the color pulled into lip lines just slightly after three hours of wear, while the shade lasted closer to five hours in total. The formula was a smidgen hydrating while worn.

NARS Kate Audacious Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a slightly muted, medium purple with warm, pink undertones and a creamy, lightly glossy finish. The color payoff was intense–totally opaque in one pass–and went on evenly. The consistency was smooth, creamy, and never tugged on the lips as I applied it. This shade lasted for over six hours, left a fuchsia-tinted stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Strong Woman (LE, $17.00) is less glossy (95% similar). Dose of Colors Dark Secret (P, $16.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Heroine (P, $17.00) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar). MAC Stylist's Tip (LE, $17.00) is lighter (90% similar). Colour Pop Leather (P, $5.00) is darker, less glossy (90% similar). Maybelline Vibrant Violet (P, $7.99) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar). Urban Decay Notorious (P, $17.00) is lighter (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

NARS Mona Audacious Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark brick red with warm undertones and a creamy finish. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and sat well on the lips without emphasizing the texture of my lips. The pigmentation was completely opaque, as described, and the color applied evenly. On me, the color wore well for over six hours, left a slight stain behind, and was moderately hydrating while worn. Urban Decay Hex (P, $17.00) is less glossy (95% similar). YSL Black Red (71) (LE, $36.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). Maybelline Burgundy Blush (P, $7.99) is less glossy (90% similar). Maybelline Smoking Red (P, $7.49) is darker, less glossy (90% similar). MAC Hearts Aflame (LE, $17.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). Estee Lauder Desirous (P, $30.00) is darker, less glossy (90% similar). Maybelline Divine Wine (P, $7.99) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar). Too Faced Melted Velvet (P, $21.00) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). NARS Shirley (P, $32.00) is lighter, cooler (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | NARS Audacious Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is supposed to be a richly pigmented, creamy, hydrating, and long-wearing formula. In my experience, the formula is typically opaque in a single stroke, lightweight, moderately to very creamy with four to six hour wear. It feels lightly hydrating to mostly non-drying overall. There is no noticeable scent or taste, and they are very comfortable to wear.
