NARS Skin Deep Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Skin Deep
NARS Skin Deep 12-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00 for 0.80 oz.) is a new, limited edition neutral-themed palette with six mattes and six shimmers. The shades coordinated well with each other, and while the shimmers were shinier, they weren’t too thick or dense and had finer shimmer, so they layered well with the mattes in the palette. I think those who tend to build up their mattes or tend to use eyeshadow primer will get the most enjoyment out of the formula and performance of the palette.
Taunt
Taunt is a light-medium yellow with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the consistency was slightly powdery, so it did sheer out a bit once applied to my skin. The eyeshadow was blendable and went on evenly with seven and a half-hour wear.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.04 oz. - $475.00 Per Ounce
The formula 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).

Sophia
Sophia is a medium, rosy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish.

It lasted for just over eight hours on me before I noticed some fading.

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).

Faster Pussycat
Faster Pussycat is a deeper, reddish-copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even application. The consistency felt smooth to the touch, denser and lightly creamy without being too firmly pressed in the pan. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before it started to fade noticeably.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.04 oz. - $475.00 Per Ounce
The formula 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.

Unbuttoned
Unbuttoned is a deeper, reddish-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease along the edges. The consistency was soft enough to be lightly powdery and had a bit of fallout when I blended out the shade initially. It lasted well for eight hours before there were signs of fading.
