Hello everyone!
I love using this eyeshadow on my brow bone, inner corners, and all over the lid when I want a subtle highlight. This shade is very close to my skin tone and has a satin finish with a bit of shimmer in it. I don’t like very shimmery or glittery highlights on my brow bone and use this for every eye look. This shade will show up better on tanner skin tones and would look great as a brow bone highlight for almost every skintone. I use this on my inner corners when I’m wearing glitter on my eye lids, and on my eyelids when I’m doing a natural everyday eye.
I saw this on eBay for around $16 and thought I would try it out; there are many listings still up for this shadow. The formula is alright; it is not sheer but definitely not very pigmented. It is a bit powdery as well but I think it works well for what I intended to use it for.
I tried my best to capture the subtle shimmer and the satin finish in the swatches below but it is very difficult to see the true effect in pictures.
Overall, I think this is a great brow bone shade but don’t think it was worth the price.
What Nars eyeshadows do you recommend?
Search “Nars Edie” on eBay to find listings.
I don’t use any Nars shadows but now you make me want to buy some! Haha. But I love using Venus from the Urban Decay palette for highlighting!

I’m not a huge fan of the Nars eyeshadows (at least this one) but I definitely want to try the UD shadows!

Thanks for reviewing it. I am eyeing for it and was looking for detail review before investing. Now I am little bit sceptical whether I should go for it or not 😦

Honestly I wouldn’t recommend it just because the quality isn’t worth the price.

A thorough review!
I’ve never read so much raves about Nars eyeshadow, only blushes (yeah, Orgasm FTW!) and lip products. And a bit pricey huh but *fail* on expectations.

I was at least expecting decent pigmentation for the price, so I was disappointed. I might try out the blushes though.

I’m not a huge fan of Nars eyeshadows (their quality varies hugely I find!), but a good duo eyeshadow I do like is ‘Isolde’. Very buttery and pigmented 😊

I will do a search on that, thanks for the recommendation 😀

I like the sleekness but I’m not too fond of how dirty it gets.

You’re right. They do get dirty very easily.

Nice review. I agree that it’s too overpriced. Actually, I don’t see any necessity to buy expensive eyeshadows, especially those which we use every day and finish fast. Also, I want to admit that I used to have a few Nars eyeshadows and all of them had pigmentation on 2/5.

Thanks 🙂 I actually have a drugstore shadow that is very similar to this but the pigmentation is way better! I thought maybe only this shade was less pigmented.

I just want to let you know that dark colors also not good. I had violet, purple and blue and all of them had bad pigmentation and crumbled under eyes 😦
BTW, if you need a nice,soft,pigmented eyeshadow under brow or in the corner I can advice you to look at Estee Lauder, they really have an awesome eyeshadow but I don’t remember the number)

Thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely do some swatches in store to find one for my skintone.
