NARS Audacious Lipstick

Ladies...question for you all I get pale in the winter but normally I'm medium skin/tanned in the summer. Id like something a bit outside my comfort zone. To give you an idea, I wore red lipstick to work for the first time a week ago (MAC RHPS Oblivion) so this is all new for me. I work in a somewhat conservative environment so I cant rock crazy makeup as much as I love the idea of a super bright coral or a deep garnet or burgundy. Ive always loved a pale lip from a nude beige to a nude pink but Id like to branch out and try something new. What do you all recommend for my skin type? I would be an NC 20 in MAC (I use Dior Skinflash and went from Beige 200 to Ivory 100 because I am losing my summer tan :( I have Raquel, Anita, Barbara and Dominique (which is a bit too strong for me but I only put a tiny but on) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! :)
Vivien :heart: and Audrey both are great corals that are muted enough to be wearable at a conservative work environment. Julie, Juliette, Brigitte they are corals but have enough nude in them :) so it can be different from your typical nude lipstick. Hope this helps

If enabling is what you want then GET THEM ALL!

But if you have to pick just one....Olivia or Liv. Dark colors great for fall! And universally flattering :)

HA! I just ordered Greta. I think Liv might be too dark for me (I'm a Casper).

Firstly the formula is a one swipe and go formula. Full coverage and opaque!  They are not drying and never bleed. They feel very soft and silky on the lips. Expensive yes, but worth it in my opinion. 
I have 5 now and honestly NEED about 5 more and then 5 more after that and then 5 more after that and then 5 more after that.....

I really have been loving Brigitte as a lovely, everyday shade. And it's perfect for a conservative workplace.

Anna can pull quite purple, if that's what you're looking for. And Charlotte can be layered or toned down to create the perfect shade for the workplace.

Since it's the last day of the VIB sale, I decided to give in and picked up Anna. I figured it'd be a great shade to start off with and it is! Now here's to hoping for that NARS FnF sale so I can pick up a few more. Most likely Bette and Vivien.

You can't go wrong with Anna. It is a beautiful everday lipstick. You will adore it.

I tried it on awhile ago and it's perfect. I don't have many everyday shades so this was a must.

Thanks, Dolly! And that's what I'm looking forward to. Bette and Vivien look beautiful.

I may go with Anna because it is a nice mauve rose color that I could wear to work. Thank you for your suggestions! :)

SO was there an issue with Charlotte? Chosenone mentioned something in the All things Sephora thread and said to come to this thread, but I can't find it.

I believe her lipstick came slightly dented at the tip and so she had to exchange it for another!!

Bette is back in stock on Sephora so of course I had to get it because it's the last day of the sale. As I was going through them all to see what I was missing out of what I wanted and I'm down to like 1. I should be ashamed but I look too fabulous with these lipsticks to care.
