Best & Worst of NARS Eyeshadows (2018)

NARS Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is supposed to have “rich, high-impact color” that is “lightweight” and has “increased blendability.” Like most larger ranges, there are winners and losers, and some of how they perform can be related to the type of finish. The mattes are soft, slightly dusty in the pans (or not at all) with medium to opaque, often buildable, color coverage. The satin and metallics tend to be smoother, more blendable, and more pigmented with less effort; NARS does the these lower shimmer finishes particularly well, which just looks “melted” on the skin as they lay down so smoothly and have a great shine.

Most shades applied better on my lid than swatched on my arm, which has been something seen across NARS’ eyeshadows for years and didn’t change with the recent update to their powder eyeshadow formula. On average, they lasted between seven and nine hours on me without primer. They did apply well over primer and stayed on well for 14 hours with minimal fading.

Worth noting: the updated formula and packaging resulted in a product decrease from 0.07 oz. per pan to 0.04 oz. The single eyeshadows received a more noticeable price drop (from $24 to $19) but the duo eyeshadows could be priced better (from $36 to $35).

My personal favorites:  Guayaquil, Persia, Virgin Gorda, Fez, Kashmir, and Lahore.

NARS Banquise Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright silver with a metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation with a slightly drier, more loosely pressed texture--it seemed like it was going to apply better than it actually did.

NARS Baby Jane Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, sky blue with a matte finish. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque color payoff, but it was more powdery in the pan and seemed to darken noticeably on my skin as it absorbed the natural oils on my skin (almost bluish-teal), even when I tried layering it over a primer.
