using the NARS spring 2015 collection on my eyes, cheeks as well as lips
Spring. NARS. 2015.
A pendulum swings back as well as forth between two nude worlds — one, a realm of cool-toned silver, as well as the other a roiling river of warm-toned coppery caramel.

My pulse pounded as I gazed at the new NARS spring 2015 collection on the floor in front of me. Staring wide-eyed at the color palette, I thought, “Yeah, I’ll be able to rock this.”
Um…yeah, that’s where the story got weird, since the pieces shown to be a bit much more difficult than I thought.
This one’s a research study in extremes.

It’s a little release, only seven pieces, however for me, that’s not enough. I will many certainly requirement to include some other products in the mix to make the most of these.
The word “dissonance” concerns mind, the idea in music where you purposefully play two notes at the exact same time that aren’t meant to be harmonious. That’s exactly how I feel about what NARS has done right here with the awesome tones butted up against the warm. Yeah, nudes have been done to death…but not in this way. It’s very, vary NARS.
Why stop at pink nudes, peach nudes as well as brown nudes when you can likewise have silvery nudes? perhaps that’s a concern NARS asks here, since there’s a great deal of silvery shimmer in the house, which is type of unusual for nudes.
I’m likewise getting a unusual concealer vibe…

That’s right, concealer, as there are colors here, like the Lipstick in Liguria, that are close to skin tones.
Doesn’t Liguria look like it might pass for a stick foundation?
Or the pinkish Lip Gloss in Guyane as well as the Eye paint — don’t they remind you of concealer? Or is that just me?
My preferred of the seven pieces is likewise a majestic hall, as in Valhalla, the single eyeshadow. Of program I like the mythological connection. however I likewise like the shade, which is a warmer, much more golden peachy version of night Star, one of the night series Eyeshadows in the existing NARS line.
Reckless Blush, on the other hand, is most likely my least fave as well as the most challenging to wear (at least for me). It’s extremely sheer, extremely frosty as well as weirdly silvery. It’ll practically definitely look much better on lighter cheeks. For me, at best, it’s a highlighter.
Duo Eyeshadow in St-Paul-De-Vence, a shimmery warm nectarine as well as a satiny warm chestnut ($35)
The Duo Eyeshadow in St-Paul-De-Vence: like a boiling orange, this is incredibly warm. It includes a shimmery, warm-toned nectarine as well as a satiny orangey brown which, incidentally, reminds me a bit of MAC Saddle, only harder to use.
The issue isn’t the formula, since they blend just fine. I’m confused by the colors. Neither one seems especially lovely on moi.
Single Eyeshadow in Valhalla, a warm shimmery pinkish peach ($25)
The single Eyeshadow in Valhalla: If it’s great sufficient for Odin, it’s great sufficient for me. I’m truly liking this one. It’s a shimmery pinkish peach powder eyeshadow. I like layering it on top of the Eye paint in Porto Venere in the middle of my lids, as well as likewise as a brow bone highlight.
Blush in Reckless, a sheer pink with silver shimmer ($30)
The blush in Reckless: much more like confused..because this one’s just as well sheer as well as as well silvery. When I wear it, I don’t feel reckless at all, since I can’t truly see it on my skin.
Lipstick in Liguria, a pearly golden nude caramel ($26)
The Lipstick in Liguria: I like pearlescent golden caramel Liguria when I apply it, however it has a wandering soul. It meanders into my lip lines as well as highlights any type of lip flakes after a couple hours, as well as I’m not a big fan of that.
Lip Gloss in Guyane, a creamy seashell pink ($26)
The Lip Gloss in Guyane: beautiful atop Liguria, this creamy light pink reminds me of concealer.
Yes, I understand that’s weird.
Lip Gloss in vent Salé, a shimmery silver ($26)
The Lipgloss in vent Salé: Light as well as silvery, vent Salé looks a bit unusual on my lips by itself. I believe this one’s most likely made to layer on top of something else.
Eye paint in Porto Venere, a soft pale pink ($25)
The Eye paint in Porto Venere: I such as this creamy, peachy beige. I believe it should have been influenced by MAC Painterly paint Pot, only NARS made it softer to the touch.

Sometimes very first impressions are precisely what you expect, as well as in some cases they aren’t. I expected this release to be simple to wear, however that has not been the situation for me.
But I am intrigued… I do want to spend much more time getting to understand the products.
I can already tell for sure, though, that I’m not going to be able to wear Reckless blush as a blush. It just doesn’t truly show up on me.
