So I have a nars palette that has some eyeshadows and I have a hard time with them the pigmentation dosent come out right not even with a primer, I went to sephora yesterday and the same thing happened, has anyone else had this problem with nars shadows? Are there eyeshadows just not as good as there blushes? What are you ladies opinion on them?

I have the same thing, I love the textures and the colors are great but they don't show up very well. Not the pigmentation I'd expect from such an expensive brand. I have success with some of the brighter colors, like a deep green that I have, but their blacks don't show up dark.

I know what you mean to be a top brand there eyeshadows are bad, they are the only company that ha this royal blue I am in love love love with but its so bad I can never get it to look blue, I've tried everything to and nothing still looks bad.

Did you maybe try to apply it wet? That helps sometimes.

No I havent hannah cuz I heard that it sometimes damages the eyeshadows when you wet them, I don't know how true that is but didnt want to take the risk lol I know wheres some you can apply wet or dry but I don't know if the nars ones are some of those

Lili, maybe get the product on a brush and then use a spray like Mac fix+ on the brush so you don't ruin the whole pan.

That's normally what I do, just with water^ also, washing bottles sucks! So many nooks and stuff that hide water and you have to scrub and ugh!

Yeah my sister has that problem, my nephew Jude has 4000000 bottles that each break into like 5 parts. Washing them is evil.

Hannah I feel her pain lol... Well I did the eye shadow wet it helped but then with it being wet I had the problem of blending I couldnt blend the dam color, I did 2 types of eyeshadow styles the first one came out so so shity I felt like ripping my eye off I had so much trouble with it and it looks so so bad... The second one came out bay far less horrible then the first I think I'm only doing this style eyeshadow with it or a transition color starting with the blue on bottom fading to light

Pic #1 hannah this is so embarrassing it looks like someone scribbled on my eye

Exactly Jackie the color should be smooth pigmented and blendabl... My problem is that I absolutely love this color and I havent found another brand that has it, mac has one but it was the same problem, nars should put a bit more effort to there shadows

I don't own any nars shadows but I've tested them in store and most of them were pretty crappy. I don't understand why people on youtube rave about them.

Ashley there blushes are great but the shadows are all bad

Jan 30, 2014

Hannah K.

Oy. That's super unfortunate. I'm so sorry, Lili!
