NARS Cosmetics – Eyeshadow Singles – Swatches

Now that we know what NARS’ eyeshadow singles look like, let’s take a look at how they swatch. Eyeshadow singles retail for $22.00 each, and each one contains 0.07 oz. of product. There are currently 14 matte eyeshadows, 22 shimmer eyeshadows, and 11 eyeshadows from their Nightlife Collection, which brings them up to 47 eyeshadows in sum. (We’re only missing 1 — Night Fever.)

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Tropic looks gorgeous. I was wondering Christine how much Tropic compares to MAC’s A Bluer Blue… they look very similar in the swatches.

Bali and Bombshell look great! I’ve been eyeing Night Porter for about 6 months now. I can’t decide between it or Lorac’s Green Room..both are such great products!
I wish NARS had a better single pale yellow tho, one without so much shimmer/frost.

Blondie is matte. It’s the shade on the left in the picture (the one that says Voyage, Blondie, Lola Lola), not the one in the middle. I wear it almost daily so i feel 100% certain about this.

i love Strada…reminds me of Idol eyes but seems to have a better color payoff. i feel like idol eyes was so pretty in the pan but gritty and sheer when i tried applying it. ew.

can you recommend a dupe for galapagos and mekong? they look so pretty, but I can’t afford to spend so much on single eyeshadows 🙁

I just purchased Tropic and its going back. Its all matte and glitter all over your face and non on your eyes. Beautiful color gone terribly wrong.

Oh! I’m finding it so hard to find any photos of anyone using Nars New York! Could you tell me what a dupe from Mac would be so I have some idea?  I think I might like it a lot, but can’t be sure!!
