A Twinkling, Night Sky Look featuring NARS Eyeshadows
About this Look
Here’s a fun, smoky eye featuring new shades of NARS eyeshadows (both singles and duos) — I was really pleased with the color combination, as it mixed a cooler girl with purples and blues and even silvers! I didn’t expect everything to mesh as well as they did!
P.S. — The details on the left eye are here.

Love this look Christine! So beautiful. You are a magician ?
Thank you, Seher! I really loved how this turned out!
This one belongs in the Museum of Looks. That outer vee is a masterpiece. The best looks are always so integrated and blended that they look deceptively simple, when in fact, they are complex and labor intensive. You have taught us how to see eye looks in an ‘art appreciation’ manner. This can be/is lost on the general public. Customer or friend: ‘You have on two colors of eye shadows!’ in a tone of surprise. Response: Gee, thanks.’ Mental response: ‘It’s five, you dolt, and it took more than a half hour!’ Which only highlights the nature of makeup as creative self expression (and who cares what the uninitiated think!)
Haha! Thanks, KJH! It’s definitely one of my favorites I’ve done in awhile 🙂
Really pretty, Christine! I love that you pulled in Kauai, as I often stare at those two colors side by side and am completely baffled what to do with them together.
Thank you, Tammy! Kauai actually coordinates surprisingly well — it’s the “coolness” of the gold that seems to play off the purple well!
The look and your hair are beautiful.
Thanks, Karrie!
Good title for the look. And how long has your hair been red? I seriously just noticed that.
Last week 🙂
Very nice! That’s the kind of look that always made me wish a were a brunette. 🙂
Wow, the red hair looks amazing! ✨
