New! Nars Eye Opening Act Collection

Nars Eye Opening Act CollectionThis isn’t Nars’ Spring 2015 collection, but kind of a precursor. It’s meant to give you a fix of deep dark shades to get you through the rest of the winter in case you find it difficult to get in a spring-like kind of mood just yet.

The collection includes the brand new Velvet Touch Shadow Sticks ($32) – they are long-lasting shadows that can be used all-over the eye to add depth to shadow shades. They remind me of the Dior Kohls which are also supposed to be used all over the eye, but these are not as emollient which means that they last a really long time on the eyes and actually function as shadows or as bases. They’re also great used as eyeliners – especially because they’re deep smoky colours. They are mostly crease-free… the only creasing I had was after a long day, but if I had powder on top, there was no creasing at all.

Colours available are black, brown, blue, grey, and purple.

There’s also the Yeux Irresistible Eye Palette ($58) which has the following colours:

All About Eve Duo Eyeshadow (right side): Flesh-toned neutral with shimmer
Jezebel Eyeshadow – Shimmery sable
Thunderball Eyeshadow – Midnight grey
Colombo Eyeshadow (NEW) – Vintage gold shimmer
Brousse Duo Eyeshadow (left side): Sable
Coconut Grove Eyeshadow – Deep brown infused with reflections

The Inoubliable Coup d’Oeil Palette is smokier:

Dalliance Eyeshadow (NEW) – Dusty lilac stone
Pyla Eyeshadow – Smokey hunter green
Sidi Bou Saïd (NEW) – Blackened grape
Pandora Duo Eyeshadow (left side) – Sheer white shimmer
Luberon (NEW) – Iridescent sand with rose gold sheen
Pandora Duo Eyeshadow (right side) – Matte black

My favourite product has ended up being the St. Lucia Illuminating Multiple ($46). It’s been a long time since I added a Nars Multiple to my kit, but this rose shade with tons of gold shimmer is so pretty that it almost hints at rose gold. It works great as a blush or to highlight the lips too.
