Over the summer, NARS Cosmetics introduced a limited edition Long Hot Summer Eyeshadow Palette, created exclusively for NARS boutiques.
NARS Long Hot Summer Eyeshadow Palette
The Long Hot Summer Eyeshadow Palette comes in NARS’ signature black rubber compact and is about 3 3/4 inches by 2 inches, just like the Spring 2015 eyeshadow palettes. On the inside is a mirror with 6 eyeshadows, 4 of which are new colors. Each shadow contains 0.03 oz / 1 g of product, which is a little less than half of a regular single eyeshadow.
Long Hot Summer I, a new color, is a light cream with shimmer .
Long Hot Summer II, another new color, is a frosty neutral taupe .
Bellissima II is a matte cool grey brown with small flecks of shimmer.
Long Hot Summer III, the third new color, is a metallic cooper with shimmer.
Long Hot Summer IV, the final new color, is a metallic warm brown with shimmer.
Bengali is a matte rich chocolate brown.
The shadows applied with a soft, buttery texture and great blendability, especially Long Hot Summer II. They were all highly pigmented, with the exception of Bellissima II, which required a bit of layering.
The colors also complemented each other very well and I loved their versatility. With light, medium and dark colors and different finishes in one compact, I was able to use them to highlight, contour, as eyeliner and on brows.
