Oh, this is one of the nude-ish shades I always fall for. One of the Bite Beauty pencils – Sable – might be a dupe for Vanessa
I think the Guerlain is the best dupe. More expensive than the original?
Vanessa is suuuuuch a pretty color! <3 And it is actually AVAILABLE to me here, lol.
I love this colour! How do the Nars Audacious lipsticks compare to the Guerlain KissKiss lipsticks? I have picky lips but they fare fine with any Guerlain lipstick (that would be why I have enough to sink a small ship). I haven’t tried the new Nars range and I am tempted but I don’t know how I’d get on with the formula. What do you think? Is it worth a try or should I stick with Guerlain?
Ah! This is the color that YSL rouge Volupte in 2 Sensual Silk makes my lips! It’s the lightest positive experience I’ve had! How funny! I wonder if I can create some sort of estimate shader based on that! 😀
I like Rosy Boop and Nude Guipure 🙂 I feel like Guerlain Rose Lip might be in this vein too…
Christine- I am sort of new to your blog, but I just wanted to tell you that i am seriously OBSESSED with it and its the first thing I check everyday! I love buying makeup, and I literally do not buy anything until I check your site for swatches first!
I love this post- I wanted to pick up a bunch of the Nars audacious lipsticks during the 20% off sale, so I was super disappointed to see most of the colors are sold out! I would love to see more dupes to satisfy my craving lol. I was especially interested in Dominique.
Thank you so much!! 🙂
You can also look-up any of the NARS’ Audacious shades over on The Dupe List (http://www.temptalia.com/makeup-dupe-list), as they’ll all have dupes listed already (so you won’t have to wait!).
I want one! Can’t decide which one, but I do!
The color of Vanessa on your lips is the lightest I’ve been able to get my lips but only with one product: YSL Rouge Volupte #2 Sensual Silk. I wonder what 1 Nude Beige would look like.. And I tried every brand of everything to possibly achieve this! Such a beautiful daily color! I don’t see YSL #2 here, curious if you have it it tried it and what the distinct difference is between that and Vanessa?! 🙂 Im thinking if I can have a home plate to use, I can branch off into a good estimation of about how other colors will tweak on me. If you do have any info, please share as I greatly appreciate it! 😀 Thank you!
I don’t think I’ve tried #2 Sensual Silk, unfortunately!
