NARS Navagio Beach Sheer Pop Multiple Review, Photos, Swatches
Navagio Beach
NARS Navagio Beach Sheer Pop Multiple ($39.00 for 0.50 oz.) is a medium gold with warm undertones and a subtle, pearl sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that glided across bare skin exceptionally well.
The new, limited edition formula is supposed to be a “buildable formula that delivers sheer, high-impact color on lips and cheeks,” and it’s also said another way: “pairs vivid color with a weightless touch,” which seems to suggest that the “sheer” quality is more with respect to the feel of the product than the coverage. That being said, the coverage seems to be “buildable” but still “vivid.” On my skin tone, this color worked more as a highlighter than a blush, but on very fair skin tones, it may also add subtle warmth. It applied best and easiest over bare skin but was workable over a liquid/cream product; I would avoid using it over powder as it tended to cause splotchiness. As a cheek color, it lasted for seven and a half hours, and as a lip product, it lasted for two and a half hours and was non-drying.

Eh, I’m holding out for MJ Dew You instead. This reminds me that I need to get my MAC x Maria Moretti Summer Wind now that we’re heading into… summer? AZ summer, anyway. ?
It definitely feels like spring is gone, haha!
Pretty color and shimmer!
It is!
I really love this look on you! The eyes really pop with a pale, neutral lip. Makes me excited for summer!
Thanks, JM!
It looks so pretty! I normally don’t care for sheer highlighters too much but I actually like that NARS came out with this. Sometimes Multiples can be TOO chunky and glittery where it’s easy to go overboard. I like that this takes a more softer approach. Looks beautiful!
This shimmer is way finer for sure!
I can barely see it on your cheek!
You are not wearing any other color (blush) on your cheeks? Then this color does show up, subtly but nicely. Great natural daytime look .
