Stefania

NARS Stefania Audacious Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep, magenta fuchsia with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth, creamy, and easy to apply as it didn't tug on the lips and delivered rich, opaque coverage in a single stroke. The color lasted awhile--well past six hours--and was neither drying nor hydrating over time. YSL Fuchsia (19) (PiP, $38.00) is lighter (90% similar).
