If I had to pick 1 word to describe the NARS summer collection, it would be: COLORFUL! This collection is bursting with bright, vivid shades reminiscent of frothy ocean waves, clear blue sea water, sandy beaches, pink-hued sunsets, and starry nights.
I love that there are pieces here that let you contrast elements of your look. Like the Dogon eyeshadow duo, which will make your eyes as deep-dark as the night sky. Pair this with Mayflower lipstick for a perfect dark eye/pale lip combo. Or, opt for neutral Exotic Dance shadow duo on your eyes, and set it off with hot pink Carthage or Wonder on your lips. This is a beautiful palette to play with contrasts, all while being perfectly summery.
One more tip: for a summery eye fit for day or night, you must get the Cap Ferrat shadow trio. Look at those blue-greens!
