NARS Spring 2016 Color Collection — Nouvelle Vogue

The new wave of chic. Seasonal shades suit up for resort mode with high-sun and high-style.

For Spring 2016, NARS debuts a fresh and modern mix of seasonal shades and innovative textures for eyes, cheeks and lips. Orchid blush radiates from a natural, matte complexion and lips captivate in shimmering apricot, rose and mulled wine. Eyes mesmerize in icy mint, matte beige and bronzed rose tones paired with a bold, winged liner. The must-have of the season: Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in a sumptuous, versatile spectrum that can be applied dry for a sophisticated sheer effect, or wet for a dramatic, high-shine finish.

January 15th at NARS Boutiques/online; February 1st at all other retailers

It’s great that they’ve added that icy green Dual Intensity shadow; now all they need is a nice rich, darker green (and to make Ursa Major -or is it Minor? – permanent). That duo looks too much like Kalahari to be of much interest to me (and to others, I’m betting). How I wish Jardin Perdu was widely available….THAT would have been a great thing to look forward to for Spring! The rest of this doesn’t excite me very much.

I love all the Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow!!I have every color they made in the formula so far except the one in the Narsissist palette because I have them all individually so I will be purchasing all 3 of those definitely!!

Nars has really had some very thoughtful collections recently. I feel like they’ve really tied down their brand image and they get better each year. That blush will be mine on 1/15! haha

NARS is almost always good quality but I have to be honest, this collection does not say “Spring” to me. Other than the blush, the tones feel very transitional season. (Unlike the YSL Boho Stones Spring Collection that went live on their site not only screams Spring but also reflects the Pantone 2016 colors extremely well…will be anxious for your reviews on this collection!) That being said, I will most likely pick up a few items from the collection as they seem like good staples.

The past couple of eyeshadow duos have been too warm for my liking, but I’m still looking forward to seeing this one (on the upside, money & space saved, LOL!). The blush looks promising…

Honestly I’m pretty sure I want the entire collection except for the blush. I would have to see how well it looks on deep skin first. The rest is totally wearable and super cute.

Omg those dual intensity eyeshadows ? Must. Have. Mint green! Such great shades. I wish they’d make a second Dual Intesity palette (the Klein one doesn’t count to me, because it has repeats of the first and was small) with these new shades and Pasiphae! I hate having single shadows, I always want to depot them and put them in palettes (exception – ColourPop) but buying these babies to depot seems scary ($29 is too much to risk the chance of breaking it!) so either a palette or if they released these in their new pro pans, that would be awesome.

Loving the look of that mint shadow! It looks like a lovely collection, so I’m looking forward to Christine’s reviews. Happy Christmas, Christine, and thank you so much for everything you do for us. You’re the best!
