Chanel Audacieuse (134) Rouge Allure Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark, pink-red with a soft, frosted sheen. It’s very slightly cool-toned. MAC Prepare for Pleasure (LE, $15.00) is a touch redder. MAC Relentlessly Red (P, $15.00) is matte. NARS Luxembourg (P, $25.00) is brighter. MAC Love Goddess (LE, $15.00) is slightly pinker/brighter. Guerlain Pour Troubler (P, $35.00) is a touch pinker. See comparison swatches.

This is the last of the new (some limited, some permanent) shades of Rouge Allure from Chanel’s Rouge Allure Moire de Chanel collection. Audacieuse was one of the shades that looked better applied compared to the others, as the new frost element of the Rouge Allures tended to make my lips look drier (and sometimes, they actually felt dry). The color coverage was nearly opaque, and the formula itself is lightly creamy and applied evenly from the tube. This shade wore well for five and a half hours, and it was neither drying nor hydrating.

Here are the other shades:

• Farouche (122)
• Ambigue (124)
• Indecise (125)
• Equivoque (126)
• Surprenante (129)
• Etonnante (131)
• Impulsive (132)
• Enigmatique (135)
