A new NARS eyeshadow can do wonders for my spirits. This spring I indulged in two new picks that I’ll share with you now.
NARS eyeshadow in Fathom is described as “pink tulle with silver shimmer” and I must say it is ethereal! The pink leans more peachy and the silver shimmer is not glittery, but delicate. Since its more peachy with understated shimmer, it is more wearable and works as more of a neutral.
It’s interesting that NARS uses the word tulle to describe this shade because the pink reminds me of the shade worn by dancers in my ballet company growing up. It was a peachy pink known simply in dance circles as “ballet pink” and was very often the shade of tulle used for ballet skirts and costumes.
The only caveat is there’s a tiny bit of fallout from the shimmer, even with a good primer. I love shimmer, so the movement didn’t bother me, but it bears mentioning, nonetheless.
My next choice was Lhasa, described by the company as “lavender grey.” Normally I don’t wear a lot of grey eyeshadow but I was just captivated by this shade. To me, it’s a warmer grey with a lot of depth. The lavender in it seems more warm pink and less blue, which works well with my fair skin - blue greys tend to make me look sick. This heathery grey is sort of prismatic and looks different in different lights and from different angles. I think this makes it interesting enough to wear on its own. I apply it all over the movable lid and then build more coverage into the crease and slightly above it on the outer third of the lid. I usually take a tapered brush and drag the color under the lower lash line as well.
Both of these shadows are excellent additions to the already remarkable NARS line-up. What are your favorite NARS shadows? Have you tried Fathom or Lhasa?
