My thoughts on Euphrate
I love seeing this color for summer. I’ve been obsessed with mint and coral lately and I really like this cool version of the color.

My thoughts on Fashion Rebel Dandelion
The yellow half of Fashion Rebel, unofficially named Dandelion, is awesome. it’s a beautiful, pigmented matte yellow. I had no problems swatching this color on primer or using this eyeshadow in a tutorial.

My thoughts on Fashion Rebel African Violet
This color was patchy for me when I applied it and I had to work to apply it to achieve some opacity. I found this shade really hard to work with.

NARS Tender Night Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Swatches and ReviewMy thoughts on NARS Tender Night
This was a very sheer shade for me. I think you’d have to really apply thickly to get it to show up. If you have more pigmented lips than I do, it will probably look nice on them but I don’t think it works on my coloring.

Wearing NARS Tender Night with Inglot 544
Wearing NARS Tender Night as a base with Inglot gloss in 544 on top.

I do like the combination of wearing Tender Night with another gloss on top, as it works well for a base.

My favorite from this collection is Euphrate, but I also love the yellow Dandelion color from Fashion Rebel. The violet African Violet shade from Fashion Rebel didn’t work so well for me.

What do think of the NARS Summer collection? What shades are you wearing the most right now?

  1. wow the eye makeup looks so beautiful, perfect for summer! I’m willing to forgive the violet if dandelion is so lovely

  5. Lesley Kriewald it’s more silver with a hint of mint to me. It’s got a nice eye brightening effect, in my opinion.

  6. Does Euphrate pull more sillver or green on you? I’m afraid it would be too silver, not enough green, but I kinda have to try it.

  9. Neeka, the yellow in Fashion Rebel was great for me, but the violet side was a bit patchy.
