My Nars Lipstick Collection / by Erin Baynham

Nars Honolulu Honey, Funny Face, Afghan Red, Scarlet Empress, 413 Bleeker, Greta, Carmen I don't have the largest Nars lipstick collection, but I'm happy with what I've got. I'm not totally sure when my interest peaked for the brand, but I've realized that my little stash has been a really great go-to for me for awhile. Even though I have a million MAC and Wet 'N Wild lipsticks, I tend to always reach for Nars first.

Let's take a look at the colors individually, shall we?

Funny Face is a semi-matte pink that I purchased a long time ago, it's bright and bold and really gave the face some oomph. Greta and Carmen were Christmas presents from the new Audacious line ($32), which are really, really freaking fantastic. It's a lipstick line that's super pigmented with only one swipe, moisturizing, and feels like you're wearing nothing. I mean really!

413 BLKR (semi matte) and Afghan Red (satin) are the lipsticks I use the least. They're nice colors, but I have others that I like more. Scarlet Empress (semi matte) and Honolulu Honey (satin), however, are my ultimate go to lip colors. When I need the perfect neutral lip, I wear Honolulu Honey. I typically wear it with Giza lipgloss. When I need a bold lip that's not too red, I go for Scarlet Empress. I recommend them to people all the time!
