NARS Indian Summer duo applied



So, these are the products I used recently for a FOTD. A couple of people (hello Em and Michelle!) asked for a picture of how the Indian Summer looks on me and here it is:

I applied the Lili Marlene grey cream eyeshadow on my lid and just into my crease, then lined with the London grey pencil liner (upper and lower lashes.)

I took the champagne/gold shimmer from the duo (left) and buffed it onto my lid with a soft fat brush (Suqqu eyeshadow brush M) then applied the matte mustard from the duo (right) into my crease and underneath my lower lashes. The mustard shade is a lot more flattering and wearable than you might at first think, even on my quite pale skin.

A full face shot - please excuse the slightly odd expression. I was stone cold sober, honestly.

  4. Hi Moodeve - you are far too kind! Thank you.

    Hey Conny - it's Medea lip lacquer, patted on lightly with my fingertip.

    Hi Michelle - it's a really great duo, your picture wearing it was what gave me the courage to give it a try, so thank you.

  5. Ah thanks Grace! If it wasn't for good old Julio from NARS, I wouldn't have had the courage to wear it either! That mustard colour looks scary when you first see it, no? But it is amazingly wearable. Yay NARS!

  7. Laves it!
    I really loved this duo and the shimmery shade but tbh, i don't wear light colours, I go for dark and smoky, haha! So to realistic I steered away but it's definitely lovely and looks fab on you!

  8. Hello Anonymous - thank you. It is indeed a nice soft/neutral look. Thank you for your comment :)

    Hi Su-pah - I saw you have Blade Runner, I am so so tempted by that duo. NARS does interesting smoky duos really well.
