Smoky Eyes as well as Red Lips: The Sarah Moon for NARS holiday 2016 Collection

using the new Sarah Moon for NARS holiday 2016 Collection on my eyes, cheeks as well as lips (the lip is Rouge Indiscret)
This is the very first NARS holiday collection in a extremely long time where — I understand this is going to noise strange, however where I haven’t felt threatened or scared.

I understand that’s weird, however believe about it. Last year there was a set with leather-clad guy junk on the front.

You get an official great youngsters card if you really understood who Sarah Moon is, since I had no idea. I had to Google her, as well as she seems like a great chick. She’s a French fashion photographer, as well as I mean, when you put those words together, “French” as well as “fashion photographer,” inevitably you get something cool.

From what I’ve seen of her work, there’s commonly a lady in her photos who appears like she’s from one more time, like the 1920s, as well as many of them are black as well as white. It appears like she utilizes filters to make things look old as well as type of scratched up. They’re like photos you’d discover in your aunty’s basement of her in scandalous garments from the ’20s.

Well, do I believe that a 1920s screen starlet would wear this makeup?

Answer: Yes, I can see the women in Sarah Moon’s photos reaching for these eyeshadows as well as lipsticks.

These pieces right here are from the color collection, which is part of the larger Sarah Moon NARS holiday launch. There are likewise a lot of sets, which we’ll get into later, however for now, right here are the eyeshadows, the blushes, the lipsticks, the liners as well as the false lashes.

There are likewise three nail polishes (Never Tamed, Flon Flons as well as La Dame En Noir) which aren’t shown here.

Sarah Moon for NARS
Everything is restricted edition, as you can tell from the packaging, as well as can we please just take a moment to appreciate the unfavorable area in the serif lettering? As a font/typography person, I believe it’s awesome.

Now let’s take a better look at the blushes…

Impudique blush ($30)

MIKÄ SE ON? Pigmented pinkish red Impudique blush is one of two restricted edition powder blushes in the collection, as well as I can see a bit bit of pearl in it from some angles.

SHOULD YOU get IT? only if you want to wear the exact same color for the next 40 years. It’s SO pigmented as well as would most likely last that long. We’re speaking crazy pigmented.

Get this only if you feel positive about your blush blending skills. It’s a bit like winged liner in that it can sense your fear… If you aren’t careful, you’ll end up with two bit dolly red circles on your cheeks.

Isadora blush ($30)

MIKÄ SE ON? Isadora is the other blush in the collection. It’s a pearlescent lavender pink, as well as it’s likewise restricted edition.

SHOULD YOU get IT? Well, yeah, obviously. Not every blush in the world needs to be a dainty golden peach or pinkish brown. You may believe that a lavender blush would be difficult to wear, however it’s not. This one’s more of a pink tinged with lavender, so you get that rosy, happy, like, “Oh! You can’t catch me!” look to your cheeks.

Moon Matte Lipstick in Indecent proposal ($28)

MIKÄ SE ON? Moon Matte Lipstick in Indecent proposal is a matte nude increased with a lightweight structure as well as is available in a slim case, which you can just tuck away into your pocket for touchups.

SHOULD YOU get IT? Well, exactly how many nude lipsticks do you have in your bag? Do you have zero? If I go in there, as well as I don’t discover anything at all, I’d say, “hey, go for it,” however if I walk over to your bag right now as well as 20 nude lipsticks come pouring out, I don’t believe you requirement one more.

Moon Matte Lipstick in Rouge Improbable ($28)

MIKÄ SE ON? Blood red Rouge Improbable carefully resembles Rouge Indiscret however is somewhat warmer as well as brighter.

SHOULD YOU get IT? Well, you understand I like a great red. You as well as I might sit right here as well as quickly paint you for days with all of the different reds that I love, however these red lipsticks, I have to be honest, the subtlety among them… I don’t believe most people will be able to see the differences. If you swatch them all together on the back of your hand, I don’t believe you’d see the differences unless you looked really, really, truly closely.

Not to noise morbid, however Rouge Improbable does look extremely much like blood to me. like dried blood. like attractive vampire blood.

I’m not stating at all that I don’t like it. I believe it’s a traditional red that you might wear with everything, however is it a red that’s going to stop web traffic as well as haunt you at night? En usko niin.

Moon Matte Lipstick in Fearless Red ($28)

MIKÄ SE ON? Fearless Red is the next of the three matte red lipsticks in the collection. It’s the one with the most brown. Technically, it’s a terminate brick red, however I would phone call it more of a ’90s red since of the brown.

SHOULD YOU get IT? Sure, if you want to take a trip back to 1998 with me.

Hey, that was a great era, with the dark matte lips as well as all the variations on brown. Of course, this isn’t a pure brown. It’s mainly red with a tinge of brown.

You understand the whole reddish brown on eyelids motion right now, particularly in the crease? Well, this would look excellent paired with one of those shades, particularly if you did matte eyes as well as matte lips.

Ah… Take me back to the ’90s please.

Of course, with matte lipsticks, you have to be extremely picky, since when mattes go wrong, they GO WRONG, however formula-wise, I believe these Moon Mattes are right in all the right ways. They’re smooth across the board, so if you don’t want to put in a great deal of time as well as you just don’t want any type of matte trouble, these are a few of the simplest around to work with.

Moon Matte Lipstick in Rouge Indiscret ($28)

MIKÄ SE ON? This ruby red is Rouge Improbable’s kissing cousin. It’s somewhat bluer as well as cooler toned.

SHOULD YOU get IT? only if you don’t plan to get one of the other reds because…they do look extremely similar, however I believe this one’s the peppiest of the three.

And here’s something fun: the blue undertone should likewise make your teeth look whiter.

Duo Eyeshadow in Quai Des Brumes ($35)

MIKÄ SE ON? restricted edition Quai Des Brumes is a powder eyeshadow duo. One half is a extremely frosty, cool-toned shimmery lavender grey, as well as the other half is a matte charcoal with golden shimmer. however I wouldn’t phone call it a shimmery shadow. It’s more like a matte with golden sprinkles.

SHOULD YOU get IT? Yeah, man, as well as when you do, mix both of the shades together with a brush, with a finger — heck, with a spatula — as well as put them around your lids, since it’s smoky magic. I just did it right now, as well as I’m smiling.

The two shades are higher than the sum of their parts, since when I swatch them individually, I’m type of like, “Meh,” however when I mix them together, it produces a lovely purplish, gunmetal-ly, somewhat frosty (but not excessively so) integrated color with bit shine pieces peeking through.

Duo Eyeshadow in Indes Galantes ($35)

MIKÄ SE ON? One side of the restricted edition Indes Galantes duo has a deep, shimmery gunmetal, as well as the other side has a matte brownish plum that looks more brown on the skin than it performs in the pan.

SHOULD YOU get IT? You know, I such as this a great deal more than I believed I would. Both sides seemed intimidating to me — surprise, I only provided myself 15 minutes to utilize them in a look, as well as I stuck to it, as well as even though both colors are dark as well as intense, they’re simple to work kanssa.

The matte’s smooth, simple to blend as well as surprisingly flattering, as well as the shimmer is… I’ve only used it as a liner so far, however the powder feels finely milled, as well as I like that it isn’t as well frosty.

Kohliners in Sichuan as well as Witching hour ($29 each)

MIKÄ SE ON? These are both twist-up pencil liners that have a gel-like consistency. Witching hour is an iridescent charcoal, as well as Sichuan is a rusty brown.

SHOULD YOU get IT? I believe if you’re gonna spend $29 on a liner, throw in a few more bucks as well as get a Chanel Stylo Yeux. These are smooth as well as pigmented, however they don’t hang onto my water line.

Eyelashes in Numero 10 ($20)

MIKÄ SE ON? These false lashes are denser on the outer half than the inner half.

SHOULD YOU get IT? NARS false lashes are costly compared to drugstore lashes, however I discover that I can reuse them an obscene number of times. They’re generally a few of the simplest false lashes to apply.

Eyelashes in Numero 9 ($20)

MIKÄ SE ON? These false lashes are longer in the center than they are on the sides, as well as they’re made up of bit bundles of staggered length.

SHOULD YOU get IT? Yes, I believe they’re lovely.

The 15-minute look I did for this post, believe it or not, included these lashes, since I just stuck ’em on.

If only it were always that easy, however it’s not. however these were.
