We asked ourselves questions like, “How intense is the pigment?”
“Is it true to its color?”
and “Is it easy to apply?”
Thankfully, one product met every criterion.
So without further ado, here are The List Beauty Awards: lipstick addition.
The liquid lipstick glided on easily, courtesy of the doe-foot applicator and hydrating formula.
We were delighted to realize that lip balm is optional with this lipstick, a rarity in matte formulas.
At the same time, the pigment was so bold that a second coat was unnecessary.
There wasn’t any feathering or smudging, and the pigment only felt slightly diluted after a long day.
The only possible downside to this product is how tall the bottle is.
But in all honesty, this lipstick deserves a bag of its own.
Therefore, we decided to put the brand’s vegan relaunch of the product to the test.
And on two of the three counts, it certainly delivered.
However, the pigment wasn’t as intense as we’d expected.
NARS Audacious Lipstick: Runner-up
Next up, The List tried theNARS Audacious Lipstick.
But the lipstick was true to its claim of providing “single-stroke coverage.”
A lip-liner paired nicely with this one.
the product had impressive staying power, too.
But for those who take their beauty investments seriously, the NARS lipstick won’t disappoint.
You’re guaranteed a high-quality makeup haul with every visit to your local pharmacy because of the brand.
But don’t get us wrong, this lipstick is just as amazing on the inside.
The formula is impressively pigmented and the circumference of the bullet doubles as a sort of makeshift liner.
However, the finish of the lipstick feels more powdery than matte.
Additionally, we did have to reapply this product several times throughout the day.
Therefore, The List put theSephora #LIPSTORIES lipstickto the test.
We tried the milk-chocolatey Snuggle Weather shade with a satin finish.
However, the lipstick was definitely one of the most hydrating lipsticks we’ve tried.
