i just bought Nars's Laguna bronzing powder and i love it so pretty and subtle, i highly recommend it!

I want the powder in "snow." It seems perfect for me. I know it is expensive, but it is bigger than a usual tub of powder. Oh! And their albatross highlighter.

The Laguna powder sounds worth a try, i use Nars balancing Moisturizer, & will take a look at their foundations. I love their Party Monster Lilac eye shadow.

 

[modelbehavior228]

what is better, their oil-free or balancing foundation?

^^it depends on your skin type...

of you have oily skin or combination, you should go with oil-free.
if you have dry skin, go with balanced.

they have great products.... i own tons of Nars.

the foundations, concealers and powders are amazings... very smooth, matching colours, good quality.

their blushes are great too, they stay on all day. i'm a big fan of their cream ones.

I can't decide between Orgasm and Deep Throat. Thanks Hanne for posting pictures for Orgasm.

I'd like to see someone wearing Deep Throat too. I guess it's more peach, but it also looks lighter. Orgasm just seemed like it may be too pink for me.

Totally off topic, but I work at Sephora and when I was doing my training for Nars the lady was absolutely mental! She was talking about Francois Nars like he's her god, it was cult like the way she spoke about him lol. I enjoy the products but...lady was nuts

hehe how funny!!! ^

Nars is my favorite.

I use Laguna bronzer, Orgasm blush (only blush I've owned for about 3 years), and the pressed powder.

I also ADORE the Turkish Delight lip gloss.

I just purchased their Balanced Foundation in Deauville & a Highlighter stick in Copacabana, both of which i would strongly recommend. The foundation has a subtle iridescent glow to it & the stick accents a very Hollywood shimmering complexion. When i was trying the products at the counter i spoke with a Make-Up artist who discovered Lily Cole as a model & he mentioned using the Highlighter all over the models at a recent Fashion Show. It works incredible wonders with Blusher applied just underneath, and creates more contoured definition in the cheekbones.

ermm I'm in the middle of a crisis. I don't know which shade to choose. At first I wanted Shanghai Express, but Fire Down Below is very similar.

I have fair warm skin. I'm scared of cool shades because my last lipstick accident turned out to be too pink. Does anyone have experience with these colors?

I haven't tried either of those shades, but I did recently purchase lip lacquer in diablo, which I love! I have an olive skin tone and am kind of pale. What I like about the lip lacquer is that you can apply it lightly so that it looks like you just sucked on a red lolly pop or heavier for a more dramatic look. Also, it stays on for awhile! P.S. Diablo is not pink at all--you should check it out!

I'm really interested in getting the Multiple but its price is making me hesitate! Judging from MakeupAlley it appears that South Beach is the most popular one but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a medium light skinned toned Asian like me?
