NARS Tribulation Blush & Velvet Shadow Sticks

NARS is back with their Fall 2015 Color Collection! The new Tribulation Blush ($30), a shimmery pale gold with a slight hint of rose, acts more like a sculpting highlighter for the face. The color is so pigmented that I actually use it on the eyes. It's gorgeous when it's blended with darker eyeshadow.

NARS Tribulation Blush.

The Velvet Shadow Sticks ($28) are available in eight shades. I tried Glénan, an intense navy with a pearly finish, and Oaxaca, a light beige champagne. Both go very well together for a smoky eye, but I actually like to use a bit of the Tribulation Blush to bring it together. The formula can be tricky to blend out and may not be ideal for oily skin unless you use a primer. It does lock down once you're done fussing with it. I had rubbed my eye by accident and the results didn't rub off much. You can use these as an eyeliner but I'd use an eyeliner brush for precise application.

The Fall 2015 Color Collection is available at all NARS boutiques and will launch at Sephora and NARS counters on August 1.

What a lovely color. I like how you use it on the eyelids. I can see this being a very versatile shade.
