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.

I heard drag makeup (makeup by real drag queens) is going more natural in reaction to Youtube.

😛

Amazing haha

I do not own a lot of NARS, so I'm not sure how to achieve this, but just spotted this on their Instagram. This highlight effect is absolutely gorgeous!:

NARS Tanya Taylor SS16 Uzo in Action
LOOK: “The inspiration for the look was taken from Meryl Streep’s Danish baroness character from the film “Out of Africa” – which is loosely based on the beauty looks of European aristocrats who migrated to Africa in the 1920’s/30’s. The pink-lilac hues on the lips and cheeks combined with the cool, quintessential Tanya Taylor aesthetic of illuminated skin play off the beautiful prints in the collection.”

Thanks mimibel!!!

[Mochapj]

Yay, thanks mimibel!  I love it even more when it ends up being a look with products I already own 😄

[mimibel]

Now I want the Copacabana multiple and illuminator rawr! I'll go in and have them attempt this look on me, then decide...

[jemly]

i saw this too ! that's certainly not albatross, it may be copacabana, or maybe even something coming soon....

(also, i would lovvvve if they made copa into powder form (and sans glitter!!)

[Libellules]

I went back through the comments and apparently it's Copacabana! Wish I knew what the blush was. It's gorgeous!

[Mochapj]

Omg, I have been looking for a pale pink highlight just like this.

it sort of reminds me of the undress me multiple, without all the heinous glitter.

WANT.

[meganlisa]

Mocha, Libellules is right, I have a gorgeous one.  I'll send you photos in the morning...when I can take them in natural light.

[Libellules]

Mocha, Meganlisa might have the hookup on a pink highlighter 😛

[jemly]

[Mochapj]

I have 6 highlighters in my cart 😄

I got my small and large pro palette today! For the last week I've been slowly depotting my blushes to make the ultimate blush palette. Sadly, I've had a few mishaps along the way so a few of my blushes have pocks and imperfections now. 😞 This was my first attempt at depotting, hopefully I'll get better. The small palette I plan to use for my single and maybe duo eyeshadows in addition to two mini blushes.

Progress so far.

Mata Hari single


I found it's easier to get the pan out by popping the casing out first.


Should hold 16 blushes. As you can see on the far right the last blush doesn't fall flush with the others. I'm hoping I just didn't have the others pushed over far enough.
*The last blush does indeed not fit. The large palette will hold 12 blushes.


Close up of last blush.

[missrmessner]

Can you turn the blush vertically and fit 3 more in that last row?

[vegchililover78]

Missrmessner - Yes, if the blush is flipped vertical it will fit. I wound up doing that to fit a few more blushes and I think it turned out pretty good. I have a small complex though because of the extra space. haha The obsessive part of me agonizes over this. 

[Mochapj]

I think when I tried the pan planner on the NARS website it only let me put 12 blush pans in the big palette, and the leftover space would only allow for eyeshadow singles.

If I ever get around to depotting my collection, it'll have to be with the small palettes I think.  They are the ones that can hold 9 blushes exactly.

[LolliLove]

Bah, that's too bad.  But note to self, get the smaller one for just blushes (since I'm a crazy person and am particular like that).

[vegchililover78]

Thanks ladies! I think I have the placement I want? My plans changed a bit with the fit issue on the large palette. I'm going to post a picture of all the empties. I love Nars packaging, but I really like having it all in one place too!

[meganlisa]

Your blushes are gorgeous!!!
