NARS Outremer Make Up Look


As some of you requested and since I couldn't wait to try it out too, lol...I did a makeup look featuring the NARS Outremer eyeshadow, which recently launched as part of NARS fall collection (I think). If you love bold colors, or would like to give it a go, you definitely should try this eyeshadow. It's a fierce matte indigo blue.
When I first saw it, I was like OMG I need to get this! I hold off until the Sephora Friends and Family sale to get it since it is expensive for a single eyeshadow. I typically don't shed that kind of money on a single eyeshadow unless it find a uniqueness about it or if I am head over heel for it.
I would also like to point out that since it is matte and the consistency of the shadow was on the drier side, I did find it a bit difficult to work with. So you have to be patient building up the color. Blending was not easy either. At the end, I was pretty happy with the result and the look that I created.
I know a lot of people think they can't pull off bright bold colors but I honestly think that anyone can. I personally prefer to wear neutrals too on regular days but for my blog, I like to experiment and get creative.
Anyhoo...Enough with the rambling and on to the look. I decided to kill 3 birds with one stone for this look, haha. That doesn't always happen but it worked. By that I meant, I used 3 new products that I recently hauled: NARS Outremer eyeshadow, MAC Shimmermint baked eyeshadow, and MAC Soft Sable lipstick.


Eyes
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion original formula
  • I first started with Outremer as the crease color
  • On the lid, I applied MAC Shimmer Mint with a wet brush to bring out the intensity of the color since this was going to be a bold look.
  • I lined the upper lash line with NYX Studio Liquid Eyeliner in Extreme Blue.
  • I lined the lower lash line and waterline with Prestige Total Intensity Fierce Blue
  • I used Milani Liquif"Eye Black for tight lining
  • I filled my brows with Sephora brow tint marker
  • I added false lashes on top and bottom
Cheeks
  • NYX Blush Taupe for contour
  • MAC Hang Loose for blush and highlight
Lips
  • MAC Soft Sable from the Glitter and Ice Collection. I included a lip swatch picture too since I didn't do that on my haul post.




 I hope you enjoyed this look and that it inspired you to try out new colors.

What would you pair Outremer with? Just curious.

  3. My God, this look is just amazing! I love the shape you've made with the crease, the lower lashes look really natural and perfectly applied (I'm very jealous, I'm useless with false lashes!) and I really like how the lipstick has that tiny hint of blue :)
