The Audacious Lipstick Collection
If you are wondering what is keeping NARS so busy this Fall, this year is a milestone for the Company. NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars launched his namesake brand with a collection of 12 lipsticks in1994 at Barneys. Now, in celebration of its 20th Anniversary, NARS pays tribute to its beginnings with the launch of The Audacious Lipstick Collection: which is touted as having a pigment-rich formula that delivers an intense, full-coverage finish in a single stroke, and nutrient rich ingredients to smooth, moisturize and volumize.

What is not clear is if these 40 NARS Audacious Lipsticks will be add ons or replace the current NARS lipstick line.
British actress Charlotte Rampling at age 68 is the face of the Audacious Lipstick Collection. Celebrated for her provocative and memorable work in films like “Georgy Girl,” “Night Porter”, “Farewell My Lovely", “Stardust Memories,” and “The Verdict,” she has produced fascinating characters over her career. For François, Charlotte’s individuality, daring style and natural elegance—on and off camera—captured the very essence of the Audacious Lipstick Collection.
Thirty shades in this collection launch on September 1 at NARS boutiques and www.narscosmetics.com. The additional ten retailer-exclusive shades will become available at Barneys New York beginning September 1. Even for a lipstick lover like me, this post was exhausting.

Which NARS Audacious lipstick is calling your name? After a summer of wearing bright corals, hot pinks and orchids, some of the more neutral shades like Julie, Briggitte, and Jane seem appealing. I am not ready for deep dark shades like Charlotte yet but am on the hunt for THE red lipstick; Carmen might suit my NARS Barcelona/MAC NC42 complexion but even if it doesn't our names are just one letter apart.
