NARS Narsissist Palette Review and Swatches

Hello humans!

If you follow me on instagram then you might saw the haul that I posted there on a bunch of my new palettes. One of them is the NARS Narsissist palette. I have been hearing mixed reviews about it, so I decided to try it out for my self :D Read more to see my verdict on this baby!

Packaging:

NARS is committed, I’d give them that. The packaging is just the regular NARS design, with a mini twist on the title of the palette. I actually love their packaging because it is durable, light weight, and it is sleek. The only thing I don’t like is that it gets dirty easily because of the material.

Formula:

I haven’t tried many NARS eyeshadow, so this one was a good one for me to give a go because it has 15 (yes, 15) eyeshadow in them. They’re a mixed of matte and shimmering textures as well as warm and cool undertoned neutrals.

Colour wise, I was not impressed with the lighter shades because they just disappear onto my NC40-NC42 skin. Especially the 1^st one on the 2^nd row. You can’t even tell that I have anything on. The matte colours are the hardest to blend for me because they settle in pretty fast. The shimmering shades though, are GORGEOUS. The last row of colours is to DIE FOR.

I think that the first layer of eyeshadows do not do this palette justice. I was kind of disappointed on this product when I first tried it, but after I gave it another try… WOW. These eyeshadows are awesome! (except for those lighter shades, nothing can save those other than putting a lighter base first).

Overall:

This baby retails for USD 79 on the Sephora website. I think it is worth the purchase I you are a sucker for neutrals but do not one to spend all your money buying single eyeshadows from nars (which are quite expensive). It is a huge palette that allows you to create multiple looks so I do like it. Nevertheless, this type of eyeshadow palette is not new to the market, so if you have other neutral palettes in your collection already, I suggest you leave this one out.

Verdict

7.5/10
