If you think that the fashion calendar moves quickly, between spring and fall shows, resort presentations and pre-fall collections, it’s nothing compared to the world of beauty releases. Not a week goes by without a new mascara that claims to be bigger, better and bolder than the last. As much as we love trying new things, we’re the first to admit that we’re loyal when it comes to mascara. After all, rushed makeup routines aren’t the best time to try a mace-inspired wand or a fussy fiber formula. Well, we might just replace our go-to tube with this release. The NARS Audacious Mascara ($26) tops ’em all — and that’s saying a lot. Plain and simple: this mascara does it all, does it well and does it all day long.
The formula is satiny smooth, giving you the chance to build and build — and build some more, because François Nars himself designed it to be clump-free and specially designed so you can add more throughout the day. Try that with just about any other mascara and you’re in for a world of trouble. Instead, Audacious allows all-day touch ups and only gets better. Feathery, separated and bold, you’ll magnify each and every lash. The brush has over 200 bristles, which will catch and coat every individual hair. Long-wearing and lightweight, it’s basically a dream come true — and every mascara addict knows that sweet dreams are made of this. And at the end of the day, it’s easily washed off. Nothing’s worse than the morning wash of shame. Enriched with vitamins and conditioners, it really is a do-it-all wonder. So while new mascaras debut every week, it’s safe to say we can ignore the noise and stay faithful to François’ newest release.
Available at Sephora.
