NARS Madura Audacious Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a blackened purple with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that did not build up much beyond that due to the more emollient quality of the texture. The lipstick glided easily across my lips but had a tendency to slide too readily, so it was more challenging to apply it with precision--it had the type of texture (and depth of hue) that I'd recommend using with a lip brush. Despite the slip, it didn't settle as noticeably in my lip lines as I expected. On me, it stayed on nicely for five and a half hours and was lightly hydrating over time. I didn't experience feathering--but keep in mind that it isn't something I seem to be particularly prone to experiencing (read: it takes a LOT of slip for me to see it!).
