Scandal

NARS Scandal 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($49.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition holiday release featuring six shades exclusively available at NARS. This palette will be most versatile when paired with your go-to neutrals, as the inclusion of both a deep brown and rich black made it harder to get anything but an intense, smoky eye out of it, though I gave it my best effort to use this palette and only this palette for a cohesive look! The quality was good overall with Stage Dive being underwhelming.

Stage Dive

Stage Dive is a bright, cobalt blue with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that was buildable to mostly opaque coverage but needed a primer underneath it to be opaque and even in application at full coverage. I was able to use it without primer and diffuse it enough that it appeared even, though not opaque. The consistency was soft and slightly powdery in the pan. It lasted well for eight hours on me before it started to fade on me.

Break It Up

Break It Up is a medium, bluish-teal with cool undertones and a sparkling, frosted sheen. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer more. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable with a creamier feel but wasn’t too thick or dense. It applied evenly and blended out easily on my lid. This shade wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Filth and Fury

Filth and Fury is a blackened green with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation but appeared a bit lighter–almost faded–compared to the pan. The consistency was soft, slightly dry to the touch, and had slight fallout when applied to bare skin. It did not blend out quite as easily as I wanted to, though it looked more blended in person than it looks in the photo. It stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Moshpit

Moshpit is a blackened brown with neutral undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was intense in a single layer where a little went a long way, while the texture was soft, velvety and smooth to the touch. It blended out fairly easily but I highly recommend using a separate, clean brush to diffuse to avoid over-applying the shade. It lasted for eight hours on me before I noticed signs of fading.

Creeper

Creeper is a bright silver with a sparkling, frosted finish. It had a chunkier shimmer to it, though it wasn’t glittery, but it was more textured/visible on my skin than a true metallic silver would have been. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a soft, more loosely-pressed texture that had just a touch of fallout when I applied it to bare skin. This shade wore stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.
