NARS Fall 2011: I'd Sail the Seven Seas for NARS Outremer Eyeshadow - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Like a assuming accent necklace or a fun, floral scarf, brilliant blue NARS Outremer Single Eyeshadow ($23) does add a certain something special to a makeup maven's look.

That said, could I run across myself wearing it every single solar day? No, probably not, considering I don't recollect information technology'south that kind of shade, which is not to say it isn't flexible. Oh, no. It well-nigh certainly is. 🙂

NARS designed the mostly matte bluish Outremer (see the tiny silvery sparkles?), the French give-and-take for "overseas," to dissimilarity with the softer green, peach, taupe and rose eyeshadows in the autumn collection.

"Fall is the perfect time to play with dramatic shades, bold colour and rich textures, like a bright blue centre or a stormy gray nail.

I like the wait of a brilliant blue heart and a pale pink lip, achieved with Outremer Eyeshadow and Pago Pago Lipstick. Information technology's hitting and modern."

— Francois Nars

Mission accomplished. Hit, information technology is, and flexible, too, like shooting fish in a barrel to build from sheer to intense in simply a few layers.

Merci, Monsieur Francois, for making Outremer every bit flexible equally you did. It'south almost equally if you lot had afternoon errands in mind. Hither in Novato, where sleeveless fleece and crocs abound, I don't normally (notice how I didn't say "ever") hit the Target dressed like I'thousand on my way to a Lady Gaga concert. For me, article of clothing daytime middle makeup is a must, and a light wash of Outremer on my lids gives a petty colour to my wait without leaving me looking totally cra-zay-zay at the store.

And when I exercise have a party or a fun event to attend (or merely feel like wearing a blueish true cat eye to buy mango bars at Trader Joe'southward), Outremer is there, ready to ramp up by applying it wet, or past edifice the color in layers (four's my sweet spot).

The polish, buttery texture glides like a dream, just the matte finish and high level of pigment can make blending out the edges a trivial tricky. I remember it helps to have a good blending castor nearby; I like my results when I use a flat eyeshadow castor with Outremer. The compact, dense brush head gives me good command during application while minimizing the minor fallout that appears beneath my eyes.

I'thou smitten with this shadow; I think it's a perfect special occasion shade. If your makeup drove is fully stocked with the nuts and y'all're looking for a flexible fashion to co-operative out into blue, consider NARS Outremer.

The eyeshadows in this release seem to lean toward the cooler cease of the spectrum, just I detect this one to be the easiest one to article of clothing with my warm (NC42) skin.
