NARS Claudia Dupe needed

[lemoine78]

I love Nars Claudia but I’d like to find a longer lasting liquid lipstick dupe for vacation. Any suggestions???

@lemoine78  Are you looking for a liquid matte, or are you open to glosses and demi-mattes? It’s surprisingly hard to find a liquid matte version of NARS - Audacious Lipstick - Claudia: I looked at several brands’ liquid matte shades and every pink is either too warm, neutral, dark, or fuchsia. Not even ColourPop currently has a dupe, which surprises me. 

Take a look at the Sephora Cream Lip Stains. It’s kinda hard for me to pick a reasonable dupe from the product photos, but start with SEPHORA COLLECTION - Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick - 06 Pink Souffle. I googled other people’s swatches and, apparently, it looks cooler toned in daylight than it does in interior lighting:

Another potentially close Sephora Cream Lip Stain shade is African Violet. But based on Sephora’s product photos, I think that one’s much more cool toned than NARS Claudia.  If you have a local Sephora, go swatch a few of these—and bring your NARS Claudia bullet with you for comparison. A Sephora sales associate might also be able to help you find a dupe shade in-store if you show them a swatch of Claudia.

Hi @lemoine78,

The NARS Claudia lipstick is such a fun, bright shade. It's such a pretty color. If you're looking for a similar shade, I recommend the MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Rouge Lipstick - C209. The shade name is Tender Pink.

I hope this helps!
