Earthshine

NARS Earthshine Hardwired Eyeshadow ($25.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light rose with warm undertones and larger, chunky dark pink and lighter pink sparkle and glitter over a metallic finish. It seemed to have a greenish shift in the pan, but I couldn't find it when I swatched it (I felt like a contortionist trying to angle my arm to find it!). The texture of this one was noticeably sparkly, so it wasn't as smooth or as refined, which made for messier application and definite fall out while worn. I think it performs better with even a damp brush, but this is one I'd still feel compelled to use with an adhesive base. The base color was semi-opaque and fairly blendable on the skin, and I didn't have any creasing with this shade, just slight fading, but there was moderate fall out after eight hours.
