From the latest NARS Spring 2017 Collection comes a free-spirited collection of burnt reds, big-sky blues and wildflower shades. Here, I test drove two of the products that caught my eye – Bumpy Ride Blush and Thessalonique Duo Eyeshadow.
NARS Spring 2017 Collection
Thessalonique Duo Eyeshadow ($35), an addition to the permanent line, is a gorgeous, wearable pairing. The left shade, described as an “iridescent seashell pink”, is a shimmery white that flashes pink. NARS Andromeda Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow is similar, with more yellow. The right shade, an “iridescent violet smoke”, is a shimmery smoky violet with brown undertones. NARS Ashes to Ashes Eyeshadow is very close, with just a tinge more brown. Both colors applied easily with great pigmentation even san primer, though I find the right shade to be slightly drier in terms of texture.

Another new addition to the permanent line, we have Bumpy Ride Blush ($30). A “shimmering candy pink”, this is a beautiful frosty bright coral pink. NARS Orgasm Blush is similar with more gold shimmer. The color glided on effortlessly with good color payoff and added a nice glow to my NC20 skintone. The wear was also fantastic – no fading until 8+ hours.
