Let's Talk About NARS!

[Mochapj]

A lot of the other big beauty brands have their own threads now, so I thought, why not NARS? Let's share news about new collections, feedback on products, etc here.

Spoiler

Have you picked up anything from the collection so far? Do tell!

[Beadshopgirl]

Ugh. So disappointing. 😞

[vegchililover78]

OH no! 😭 Nars is my most loved brand and the biggest part of my collection. This is sad.

NARS x Man Ray - Around Oct/Nov

[Tamara76]

I am super excited about this!!!! ❤️

[Mochapj]

From Temptalia

[greenchilli]

@Mochapj

That is a lot of pretty identical shades,or is it just me?

[Mochapj]

I think a lot of them do look similar @greenchilli

I think it's like the audacious where they have multiple versions of the same shade with slight variances that are more flattering for certain skin tones.

i have a theory Nars just repackages shades in the various formulas they sell using different names 😉

[greenchilli]

@Mochapj

I think so too.

With the first release of the collection, I wish they had explored more variety in shades.  It isn't like the colour spectrum is that limited.

Perhaps as they expanded the range they could start introducing similar colours that were only slightly different.

I like 34 colours, but I would choose to gnaw my arm off than wear matte liquid lipsticks.  Maybe this formula won't make me stabby.  We'll see.

Thanks @Mochapj. Don't know how I feel about get it on now... 😞  Get Up Stand Up is super pretty! @pixiedust2 @ZombieMetroAnt more swatches 😉

[whitepolkydots]

slow ride and wild night 😍 Love london calling too but it seems a bit patchy

[Mochapj]

More swatches from Temptalia, but looks like from the press kit:

[veronika23]

Here's another set of swatches

[greenchilli]

@veronika23

Wonder why so many colours look exactly like each other.

Just Push Play and Starwoman

Starwoman and Don't Stop

Just What I need and Slow Ride and similar if not close

American Woman and Walk this Way

I am surprised in the similarity of shades within the same collection.  

[veronika23]

@greenchilli  yeah I wonder. The differences are very subtle. I wonder how much that comes into play once they are on the lips... by that I mean, with lets say my lip coloring, could one color look better vs the other even though they look almost the same... you know. That very subtle undertone in the color could possibly make a difference. 🤔🤔🤔

[ChristalM]

Wow these look so different that the other swatches and not for the better 😞

Where are the great purples from the other swatches ? Sad....

[niki172]

It would be a great perk if you got this list of songs in a digital play book with purchase. A great way to educate the younger generation to what great music sounds like.

I also vote for Van Morrison over Mellancamp

[Mochapj]

I'm also voting for Van Morrison over Mellancamp. I don't know, I think VM seems more plausible (if we're pretending NARS himself actually chose these, which TBH I don't think he did) than Mellancamp does.

[malday]

I wish he did, I'd want to raid his record collection if so...
