It’s the type of formula that could easily be too soft, but the shadows and face powders seem to stay on really well all day with no issue. They really just feel like a soft silk, and blend together really well. Summer Lights (left) and Hot Nights (right)īoth the shadows and the highlighters are extremely smooth and pigmented without being powdery. The recent palettes – the Loaded, Wanted, and Ignited palettes have been really good, but the shadows in these two new ones is really good. I’ve, generally liked the formulation of Nars palettes in recent years, and think that they have really improved their powder eyeshadows. The formula of both of these palettes also really surprised me – in a good way. The shadows and face products are big enough to get appropriate brushes into them, and there is a large mirror that you can actually see your face in. They are a delight to look at, and they are also about the perfect size. They have a glossy hard plastic that has a desert-ish pattern in it. It’s more than just the slightly annoying rubber plastic packaging.
And these palettes definitely deliver on that, just from looking at the shades.įirst off, the packaging of these palettes are absolutely stunning.

I figured since I bought them and received them around the same time, I’d just bundle the reviews together. I’ll mainly be talking about the new Hot Nights and Summer Lights palettes that were just released, but I will also talk about the Skin Deep palette that was released a few months ago. Their recent releases have just been on point, and since it’s my birthday month (my birthday is actually just a few days away!) I decided to treat myself to these palettes. No, I do not need 100 palettes of neutrals, but somehow they’ve all landed in my collection. Nars does neutral palettes very, very well, and neutral palettes are my absolute weakness. I have some new Nars palettes to review today that I’ve had my eye on ever since I saw previews of them, especially the Hot Nights and Summer Lights palettes. Here's a quick rundown that might help.I don’t know what magic Nars has been doing the past year or so, but I’ve wanted every single new release they’ve had.

When it comes to applying blush, people often think of location, but blush color can make or break the look. There is an art to the application - overdo it and you risk looking like a clown, or apply the wrong way and make yourself look older. It's often the finishing touch to give your face a little color and depth, and it makes your skin look healthier. No matter if you are going for a no-makeup makeup look or full-on glam, blush is an essential component of your cosmetic equation.
