I’m already planning to buy Outremer as a single, and have been going back & forth with Etrusque. How does Etrusque compare to the gold in the Exotic Dance duo? If they’re different enough, this may be the better way to go. TIA

Thanks! I’m wrapping up my NARS “must-haves” list, and Etrusque was pencilled in, but I think I can skip it. I don’t have many golds in my stash, so I took a chance with Exotic Dance, which turned out to be a great choice.

BTW, if anyone is interested only in Etrusque, it is still available on NARS.com.

My favorite eyeshadow, among all brands, is Ondine. I know alot of people either hate it, or are just indifferent, but it is HG for me, LOL.

I vaguely remember seeing Etrusque in-store, and swatching it, but I’m sure I passed for a reason. I do remember it was really soft & pigmented, thought!

Hi Audrey! Actually, I have put Gilda, Orgasm, Outlaw, and Albatross on medium to very deep skin tones and they look beautiful! Albatross is actually one of my top preferred highlighters for deep skin tones. Outlaw is a new shade and has a lot of pigment, it’s gorgeous on deep skin for a more noticeable blush, or more natural depending on your preference and how much you use. Gilda gives a beautiful soft flush, and Orgasm looks stunning on deep skin, even though it looks light in the pan. It turns into such a flattering golden peachy glow. It’s hard to find a blush palette for deeper skin tones, and I think you might have a lot of luck with it. Give it a try! Just thought you might like to know. Cheers!

(p.s. I worked at Sephora for 3 years and now run a freelance makeup artistry business, in case you were curious).

They paired my FAVORITE blush/bronzer with some gorgeous neutrals? Not to mention I’m a LA native, I think this set is going on the must have list!

Christine, in your experience, do NARS’s blushes in these types of palettes match the quality of the ones sold as singles? I am definitely interested in these, but if the quality is not up to par I’d rather invest in the individual blushes. Thank you for your time! 🙂

I wish they would stop putting ORGASM in EVERY SINGLE BLUSH PALETTE! I already have it and I’m pretty sure a lot of other people do too.

I want the Killing Me Softly palette because I only own 1 out of the 4 but I’m not sure if I should stop buying blush. I have 7 NARS blushes and I feel really guilty purchasing what I cannot use. Oh the struggle of being a girl 😀
