We are now in the heart of spring, so of course it is time to begin talking about the new summer makeup collections. To me, this season is never as exciting as the springtime because I feel like every company does the same variation on bronzy makeup and dewy skin. And this really is just not my favorite season overall for beauty. To start us off, we are going to look at the newest collection from NARS, a perennial favorite makeup line of mine.
Here is the description of the collection from the NARS website, “Glowing, sun kissed skin, shimmering peachy hued lips, and high drama eyes in deep tones of metallic flecked topaz or sparkling azure. Whatever your vision of the perfect summer, this season’s vivid yet versatile color palette is the perfect complement.”
Single Eye Shadow - Longwearing, crease resistant color in sheer wearable formulas. All NARS eye shadows can be applied sheer or layered for a more dramatic effect. These richly pigmented powders blend effortlessly and can also be used wet for precisely lining the eyes
- Tropic - matte teal with silver particles
Duo Eye Shadow - The same longwearing crease resistant formula as NARS single Eye shadow, in a series of uniquely paired color combinations. Worn together or alone, all duo eye shadows can be applied sheer or built up for a more dramatic effect. All powder eye shadows can be used wet or dry.
- Scorching Sun - glazed apricot/orange with delicate sheen
Bronzing Powder - Diffused powder with golden shimmer to create an all-over warmth and contour for the entire face. Bronzing Powder creates a natural looking glow which enhances or creates the look of tanned skin.
- Irresistiblement - golden terracotta
Lipstick - A wide range of captivating shades designed to provide the look and style the color dictates. Lipstick available in three formulas:
Satin - moist, longwearing lipstick containing micro-bubble spheres to continually release lip conditioners which yield creamy, silky color that wears for hours.
Semi-Matte - A highly pigmented matte, non-drying formula that provides a longwearing, full-bodied, velvety finish.
Sheer - long lasting color pigments have been suspended in this translucent formula to provide a sheer, natural tint.
- Falaba - shimmering bronzy rose
- Outsider - shimmering burnished coral
Lip Gloss - Serious shine and sexy color in sheer, creamy and semi-sheer formulas. Extremely wearable and versatile shades may be worn alone or over other lip products for heightened drama
- Belize - pink mauve with flecks of gold
Lipliner Pencil - Longwearing color in a creamy formula that helps define, correct and shape the lips while preventing lip color from bleeding and feathering. Available in color-coordinated shades to correspond with lipstick hues.
- Tonga - pink amber
Nail Polish - An exclusive formula with technology designed to improve flexibility, durability, wear and gloss properties. This longwearing formula provides a tough, durable chip-resistant finish and also has added UV protection to prevent polish discoloration.
- Adelita - shimmering pearlescent pink
I think that the Tropic eye shadow shade is one of the most beautiful colors that I have ever seen, it really makes me wish that I had brown eyes just so that I could wear this one. Alas though, this color and I are not meant to be so I will have to admire it from afar. Otherwise, I obviously want the new lip gloss shade and I like the nail polish shade too. I’m not really sure why they introduced a lip liner with a summer collection. Even though I never wear liner now, I would think that I would wear it under a more dramatic shade in the fall or winter. I would like to see the Scorching Sun duo and see how the colors translate out in real life, this one could either be amazing or horrid. Overall, not the best for myself but this collection would be amazing on a girl with tanned skin and brown eyes.
