NARS Anguilla Matte Multiple Review, Photos, Swatches

NARS Anguilla Matte Multiple ($39.00 for 0.26 oz.) is described as a “ginger pink.” It’s a light-medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a satin-matte finish. Hourglass Radiant Magenta (P, $35.00) is lighter. NARS Love (LE, $29.00) is darker, less pink. Physicians Formula Natural (P, $11.99) is more shimmery. Chanel Revelation (63) (P, $38.00) is brighter, pinker. See comparison swatches.

It has a near-matte finish that has enough to it (so hard to describe it as a sheen, as it is so subtle!) that it doesn’t look completely matte, but it won’t emphasize pores or skin imperfections as there’s no shimmer to the finish. It had excellent color payoff in a single pass, but it can be applied more sparsely for less coverage, as the formula has a velvety, silicone-like consistency that makes blending fairly easy. It can be applied wet for sheerer coverage from the start (drier application will yield more color payoff). As a blush, it wore well for seven hours before showing signs of fading. As a lip color, it lasted two and a half hours, and it was very drying and uncomfortable to wear, as it tended to cling and sink into lip lines over time.

I’m most likely going to cave & pick this one up. It’s sooo pigmented, especially for such a light shade, and it doesn’t read particularly warm-toned on my skin. Maybe I can find a way to depot it…

Hi 🙂 it’s really pretty and I would love it…. but I had Chanel Inspiration cream blush for Christmas and I’m wondering if its similar when blended on the cheek? Is it only a bit darker than this? Thanks 🙂

Haw it is possible to find products which you mark as ”product 10/10”, or ”9/10”, by category, for example i want to find best blush by ”10/10”, and etc.

It actually looks great on your lips, Christine! Too bad it’s drying!

It is the same shade on both full-face photos, right? Only because the first picture appears more pink than the brown on the second picture. 🙂
