Thanks for the swatches! I love tropic! I was just about to get ready. Now I feel like its a Nars kinda day…
Tropic looks gorgeous. I was wondering Christine how much Tropic compares to MAC’s A Bluer Blue… they look very similar in the swatches.
Tropic is a matte with a large gold glitter flake in it – A Bluer Blue is a shimmer (veluxe peral?) finish.
Different, IMO! Tropic is like a much lighter Plumage. Tropic also goes on very, very matte, and the silvery glitter is chunky and falls everywhere. I’m not a fan of its texture 🙁
No prob! Tropic & I are enemies 🙁
haha your first set of swatches (Goldfinger, Night Sun, Fuji, California) would look fantastic together in a palette!
LOL! I totally see that!
Night Sun, Fez, Night Lighter, China Blue, Tropic, Silent Night, Galapagos, Night Breed, Baby Girl, Party Monster, Strada, Night Star , Mekong, Thunderball, Grenadines, New York, Night Porter ….
OMG they’re all so awesome!
Haha! I know, too many to love…
Thanks for the swatches! It’s so hard to find all the NARS swatches all together!
No prob, Laura!
I didn’t even know NARS had so many single eyeshadows!
Haha! Me neither!
Hey ! i’m from Brazil and i looooooooooooove so much you blog !
I really like NARS products, and your swatches !
xoxo
Thank you so much, Aurea!
Nice swatches! I don’t have many NARS shadows yet.
My current favorite is tropic.
I’ll get fuji, strada and night rider next.
I don’t have much either!
Thanks for the swatches! Can you think of a MAC dupe for California, Christine? It would be really helpful!
I think Coppering would be pretty similar..I don’t own California so I may be completely wrong!
They’re similar, but there’s a bit more orange in it, I think!
Coppering/Amber Lights together seem to be the closest to me…
Is there a way to buy that palette like the one in the picture?
Aw, these are the displayers 🙁
California, Fez and Blondie are GORGEOUS. Not impressed with that ridiculously chunky glitter in Night Rider though 🙁
Any shadow described with glitter should be skipped, IMO, when it’s by NARS.
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.
Night Porter is GORGEOUS. Argh!
Wow, Nepal, Cairo, Ashes to Ashes and Cyprus are gorgeous!
Their singles are divine!
Hi Christine. Are these swatched with a brush? I really like night clubbing but I worry that the shimmers won’t show. thanks!
With fingers and/or cotton swab. Night Clubbing’s shimmer will probably show, IMO – it might not be as much, but I think there is plenty to show up.
Isnt Nars Blondie a Matte e/s?? yet its showing up very shimmery on your arm…
Just swatched and wrote down the names as I did so…
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.
Oh, so pretty! Night Porter and Night Flight and Mekong . . . my wallet will be SO empty!
Strada, Night Fairy, Night Flight, Night Clubbing, and Ondine are super gorgeous!
Glad ya like ’em, Sonita!
Do the glitters in night rider show up with a cream base and applied wet? Does it last all day?
They’ll show up better, but if your lids are prone to creasing, the cream base may make it not last all day.
Thanks! I always come to your site when I need a reference on makeup and I can always find the answers here!:)
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.
Which ones are your favorites?
I haven’t tried many, sorry!
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 🙁
From what brand?
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.
Can you recommend a MAC dupe for Mekong, please?
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!!
