The NARS Makeup thread

[stolemybicycle]

I just got the ashes to ashes eyeshadow yesterday. It's the perfect natural-ish looking colour, with just a little shimmer. I love it!

Ooooh I'm so excited to check that out today, thanks stolemybicycle!

Does anybody know where I can find the single eyeshadow in D.Gorgeous? Only I've seen it in Vogue and think it's a really lovely shade but I can't see it anywhere?!

^I think this is new for Spring 2010? Haven't seen this out anywhere yet though

 

[dumbfairy]

I had wondered if it was a spring release but it's seemingly very elusive. I've seem it in 3 magazines now so I'm hopeful it should be out soon

 

[dumbfairy]

Well I finally found D.Gorgeous on the Nars website But I hate how you can only pay buy Visa/Mastercard,because I don't have a Visa so I have had to charge for a single eyeshadow

I want to get the blush Angelika, but I already have Desire. Will it be a waste?

Beware, it gets a bit frightening/addicting!

OMG, I had forgotten about this site, and now that I ran into it again I can't stop searching

I always try to see what makeup I can skimp on (i.e. Dior Blackout mascara to Covergirl Lash Blast) and the ONLY makeup item I wouldn't even think about trading out are my Nars blushes. My two favorites which I've been using forever are Orgasm and Luster.

Maybe I'm the one that's late on this, but it seems that NARS has raised the blushes to $26.

Has anybody tried Purple Rain Nail Polish from the spring collection? any thoughts?

I use NARS blush in Torrid, and I like it. I've also bought a gift once for my friend and it was a palette with several eyeshadows, lip glosses, and blushers, and she liked it too. I wanted one of their lip glosses once but it was out of stock.

Torrid is my HG blush... just the right hint of shimmer for a glow-y look.

Can I ask you ladies of good experience. I think I have bought foundation from virtually every company except NARS, and none of them are either pale enough, or if they are pale, they sit on my skin in bits, flake and makes it look dreadful. My skin is oily around the t zone, dry in patches with redness, but the biggest thing is, I'm pale as anything. I'm not pure white, but I'm darn pale and I want to be that way, I'm sick of women at make up counters trying to make me brown. What is your recommendation for NARS?

I'm a pale Irish girl and I find the best brands for great quality and perfect pale colour are Illamasqua, Chanel and Estee Lauder. Mac do great shades too but I'm not as crazy about their foundations. I bought a Nars foundation and hated it to be honest. Only love the blushers from that range.

Have you tried blending your own colour from a few different foundations you already have?

Hi guys, any opinions on Sheer Matte Foundation?

 

[shannycgirl]

Entirely obsessed with Heat Wave lipstick (orange-red)... perfect for when I try to re-create those gorgeous Prada SS 2010 lips.

I love their Fire Down Below Red Lipstick. It is a nice blood red and looks beautiful.

I also love Tamango, Gipsy and Red Lizard.

What do you guys think about Nars Loose Powder?I heard good reviews about it.

I have this and like it although I don't use it very often. It does keep me matte longer than regular foundation, and I have oily skin. The packaging is annoying though, I hate bottled foundations.

Haven't tried it but I'd like to, I always hear it has a bit of coverage as well which could be nice

it is a pump bottle or a pout out bottle?
