Yes I know, more NARS. But they are fast becoming my favourite makeup brand.
This little beauty is my first eyeshadow from NARS and, thus far, I'm very impressed. Despite the quite pronounced lines on my eyelids (I'm going to be a very wrinkly 30 year old at this rate!), I didn't have any issues with creasing or fading when worn over MAC's Painterly paint pot (my primer of choice).
Described as a shimmery lavender-grey, I'm finding Lhasa is a perfect shade to wear all over the lid - particularly when paired with a complementary matte purplish-taupe like MAC's Copperplate. It is quite sheer but very easy to build and blend which makes it ideal if you're looking for something a bit different but still easy to wear in the daytime.
Whilst I'm sure the colour isn't that unique (swatches of MAC's Shale seem similar but it's nothing like MAC's Satin Taupe as I first thought) it isn't a shade I had in my collection and it's a very welcome addition.
Lhasa has been released with the Spring 2012 collection but I have read it will be a permanent addition to the single eyeshadows.
I have this and love the combo you have said (copperplate) I too wear over painterly!

my first thought was 'meh' but when i saw it on your finger and then your eyes I was like oooh ahhh. this is actually really stunning. its been a long time since ive had just a sweep of brown. i usually have a light colour then brown in crease. might have to try a full sweep! great post Meg x

This is a gorgeous colour! I love shades like this, and Shale is a fave of mine too! xxx
ReplyDeleteI want to buy it, but I just bought Shale and seeing as I don't have a NARS counter anywhere near me it would have to be a blind internet purchase... I shall sit on my hands for the moment!
