NARS Bourbon Street Larger Than Life Eyeliner ($23.00 for 0.02 oz.) is described as “purple.” It’s a subtly red-based, medium purple with a very fine misting of reddened purple shimmer. It has a rather faded look to it, overall, because the pigmentation is not as dense as it looks in the pencil. The shade is more of an eggplant purple than a violet or blue-based purple, so it will complement hazel and brown eyes quite well. It’s less plum than many of my other comparable eyeliners, so I wasn’t able to find any that I felt were that similar.
It’s creamy enough that it glides easily across the lash line without tugging or pulling, and the color (even though it’s not as rich as it looks) deposits fairly evenly. In testing NARS’ new eyeliner, I don’t quite get the stellar 12-hour wear as touted, but they wear well for a solid eight to ten hours. It’s still on at the 12-hour mark, but it has worn away noticeably. Make sure to check out my original review, which goes much more in-depth about the formula.

With my darker skin, I don’t think this eyeliner is pigmented enough for me… a lot of purples tend to blend into my skin and look brownish, and I think this one would experience the same fate. Bummer!
If these weren’t so expensive, I’d be on them in a hot second.
I recently purchased the shade ‘Rue Bonaparte’ for my waterline and it disappeared within an hour and a half. Such a shame because it was the perfect color for me too.
Although the wear time worries me, the color is absolutely perfect for me. Exactly what i’m looking for in a purple. Too bad its so expensive 🙁
this look like a perfect neutral purple to me-not too blue toned, not too red toned. i wanttttt.
It’s so hard to find a decent purple liner that doesn’t pull blue or black. I don’t think this is the one 🙁
I think I’m going to get this color just because I live near New Orleans.. So I’m glad the color is nice enough for me to actually want to use aha (:
Same here! I think I will just buy this because I live in New Orleans. It’s really a Mardi Gras purple too. 🙂
