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'm all about everything in this pic.  Uzo's skin is incredible and I can't wait for those lip pigments things!

[Mochapj]

@michelleshops I think Uzo is one of the most beautiful women ever.

I was super jealous (in a good way) that @greenchilli got to meet her last year.  🙂

@Mochapj

I met the lovely Uzo last year.  She is charming, and indulged my taste in makeup.  The look she created couldn't have been more "just what I had in mind".

oh man i'm in trouble.

(i love her eyes, here, too !)

[veronika23]

Looks nice! Can't wait to see more colors!

Swatches of the new Charlotte Gainsbourg lip tints. I've been alternating between Éphélide, a rose shade and Promise, a deep plum, for over a week. The texture is that of a gloss without the added viscosity that is typical of many glosses. The lip stain is visible on my lips after several hours of wear which I like. I may need to buy a few more of these at the rate I'm using them 🙂

Top to bottom: Promise, Éphélide.

Thank you for the lovely swatches @trishavt!  I love Ephelide!  I really want Double Decker too but I guess that shade isn't coming to Sephora.  

[trishavt]

@kso1225 I know you will love the Ephelide shade. Besides, it's perfect for your complexion 🙂

I was not interested in this collection but those swatches are really pretty, especially the rose one may have to check it out!

I want Éphélide but I'm trying not to buy any colour cosmetics this month. This swatch is not helping. Lol

I posted previously (see head post spoiler) about the Jetsetter collection, but Trendmood had an interesting little snippet on a new product called a Power Matte liquid lipstick:

ETA: Apparently one of the new shades was used on Thandie Newton for the Met Gala, but they aren't out for another 5 months :(.  Looks like a really nice matte.

Thanks to @ShannonAlexis for the heads up! 😉

If anyone's curious about what Thandie's wearing, I found this on NYMag dot com:

Newton called on artist Jo Strettell to execute her makeup look. Strettell drew inspiration from the Comme des Garçons of the 1980s, and swept on heavy black eyeshadow as an ode to the intensity of the era. Dipping a wet brush into NARS’s Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Sycorax, Strettell painted the dark shadow all over Newton’s lids, up to her eyebrows, and then fluffed a dry brush in the same shadow pot to diffuse the bold pigment. She then lined Newton’s eyes with two black eyeliners — a gel in Black Valley and a Kohl pencil — to amplify the darkness surrounding them once more. She capped the eyes with several layers of mascara so that her lashes appeared sufficiently spidery. To offset the extreme eye shadow, Strettell painted Newton’s lips with a nude liquid lipstick that’s a part of NARS’s Power Matte collection, set to debut this fall.

If you’re wondering how Newton will survive a night with so much eye makeup without developing a case of allergy eye, the answer is she’s just lucky. But for anyone else whose eyes are watering at the mere mention of “two eyeliners,” Strettell suggests this easy remedy for clear eyes: blue eye drops. “They’re the best,” she says.

I love Thandie. I missed this post previously, but now I have seen it because of your follow up! 😄

[jemly]

interesting @Mochapj ! i wonder what they're thinking is to release these so late. like they're waiting for the height of the liquid lipstick madness to end ?

[greenchilli]

Oh Thandie.....sigh.

I absolutely love this look.  Ginormous flowers on top of ones head has never looked more beautiful...

[Mochapj]

I love everything about this look too @greenchilli!

Thandie is just gorgeous, and that whole look is so striking on her.

Charlotte Gainsbourg Velvet Matte lip pencil - Blindfold

*This formula doesn't suit me - my lips tend to feel dry quickly.  But I bought it for the lovely colour.*

[Mochapj]

Great colour, GC!!

[jemly]

it looks gorgeous !

[greenchilli]

Just an FYI - for anyone interested in the Charlotte Gainsbourg Hydrating tint that is close to my skin tone.

I got the Hydrating tint in medium-dark.  It is much too dark on me, looks like I have self tanner on.  I gather that the medium will be a tad light, but I plan to try that as well.  

The formula is very sheer, so it is quite forgiving in that one shade will cover many skin tones.  But it can still be a bit tricky.  I might be between the medium and medium-dark shades.  We shall see.

For reference - I am medium-dark in Bobbi Brown BB cream, Annapurna in Nars Velvet tint, Caramel in Tom Ford Traceless.......stuff like that.

I recently attended a Nars event at Nordstrom, and found out 5 new limited edition Audacious shades will be coming out in fall! I can't wait =D
