NARS Fall 2016 Collection Preview & Swatches

NARS fall 2016 collection is looking quite exciting! Apart from their seasonal Colour Collection, there are few other new additional product launches, as well as shade extensions to existing lines.

On to the swatches!

T-B – Rigel, Antares, Arcturus

My favourite Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow was Rigel (rose gold), well pigmented & smooth.  The kinda shade I gravitate to whenever I want a single lid colour.

L-R – Kalisté, London, Mambo, Black Moon, Darklight, Blue Lotus, Last Frontier, Curaçao, Las Pozas

These new Velvet Eyeliners were the star release of this collection. A soft creamy formula that can be smudged to create a variety of eye looks.

It had good lasting power too, I tested it out a whole day and it did not budge.

The shades that stood out to me were, Darklight (navy), Kalisté & London a rather interesting grey.

Lastly Velvet Matte Lip Pencils. Top – Consuming Red, Bottom – Infatuated Red

NARS Velvet Matte Lip pencils are a favourite! I love the formula. They are very soft, smooth pencils with great colour payoff and a comfortable matte finish. Get them both!

On to the next fall release, the Audacious Collection.

This collection consists of 5 new shade additions to the Audacious lipstick line  {in turn, 5 existing shades (Michiyo, Leslie, Jeanne, Deborah, Geraldine) will be discontinued} , all new Brow Defining Cream and limited edition Unrestricted Eyeliner Stylo in matte & satin versions.

Audacious Lipstick – SGD 44

Apoline – Pink rose

Shirley – Red crimson

Stefania – Deep fuchsia

Kate – Purple orchid

Mona – Mahogany

Brow Defining Cream – SGD 35

Sonoran – Blonde

Al Djouf – Light brown

Tanami – Auburn

Danakil – Dark brown

Unrestricted Eyeliner Stylo – SGD 42

Audacious Mascara – SGD 44 (Repromote)

Lipsticks always catch my eye first!

T-B – Apoline, Mona, Shirley, Kate, Stefania

T-B – Danakil, El Djouf, Sonoran

I found these to be ultra long wearing and waterproof and see them holding up well in sweaty weather. An exciting new product to try out!
