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.

SPRING 2019:

APRIL 2019: NARS x CONNOR TINGLEY

Spoiler

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

[Mochapj]

Omg!!!  Goulue is my favorite color in the guy Bourdin palette, so I would be thrilled if this is true.

Thank, MK! I hadn't seen the shade name posted anywhere yet. I'm not familiar with that one... It looks like it was a LE shade in one of the Guy Bourdin palettes? I'm excited to see it! (And hopefully I won't have to re-Rouge to get one. ;))

What's everyone's thoughts of Nars multiplers? I have a love hate relationship with them. They don't seem to be very long wearing as a blush. Am I doing something wrong?

[Mochapj]

I like the multiples and I have combo oily skin, but like Gwen said, I apply it with my fingers, not stick on face.  I also usually apply it to bare skin, which probably helps.

i find applying the stick directly to the face can be unhygienic (if you already have base products on, they transfer onto the stick) plus some colors are creamier than others.  Napali is one I find a bit drier, so warming it on your fingers first should help.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I love them! But I have dry cheeks... I think that different blush formulas perform differently on varying skin types. Are you especially oily? Maybe using a mattifying primer under the blush or setting with a translucent powder would help?

[natalie12]

I have pretty dry cheeks too. I use the stick straight on my face then just tap it in but then it disappears! 

[Gwenhwyfar]

Interesting... I apply with my fingers. I rub my fingers on the top of the Multiple stick and then rub the blush onto my cheeks. I don't usually use a foundation or anything else other than my skincare staples beforehand. I like a subtle blush and apply lightly, but I haven't noticed the color fade much throughout the day. Do you think application could be a factor? Which shade are you using?

[natalie12]

I fell in love with na Pali coast. I wear a liquid foundation and set it before I apply the blush. Maybe I should use my fingers then apply instead of putting the stick straight on my face?

[kethry70]

You also might try putting on the blush before setting the makeup. The powder shouldn't lighten the blush much (but you can compensate by applying a tad darker)

[Gwenhwyfar]

Maybe. I haven't tried that shade. Give it a go with the alternate application method and see if that solves the problem! If not, we'll troubleshoot it again. 🙂

[natalie12]

Thank you for all the tips. It does help to warm up the product but I think my issue is that it's a cream to powder product. It just falls off my face. The price point is too high for me to keep trying. Thank you for your help!!

Tarvos is giving me feelings

[Gwenhwyfar]

Tarvooooossss.

[Mochapj]

Seeing her swatches, I stand by my statement that Tarvos is the DI equivalent of vent glacé.

[Anonymous]

Im loving tarvos, but what is vent glace (bows head like I should know). 

[Mochapj]

I don't think it's been discontinued, but it looks like Sephora doesn't carry it anymore:

I picked up half of the 'Hot Sand' collection already, but I think Tarvos is the only thing from the rest of the collection I want.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I'd love to see a swatch of the 'Hot Sand' Multiple when you get it! 🙂
