NARS Malacca Single Eyeshadow & Baalbek Eye Paint Swatches, Review & EOTD – Adult Swim Summer 2014

April 10, 2014

Who says Summer can’t be sultry? NARS Adult Swim has plenty of vibrant color involved, but the two pieces that I gravitated towards immediately had me dying to play smoky and layer.

NARS Summer 2014 Adult Swim ReviewNARS Baalbek Malacca swatches adult swimFrom this collection I received two pieces to share with you guys and, spoiler alert, they are fantastic. Especially when used together! Malacca Single Eyeshadow & Baalbek Eye Paint were made for each other. They also play well alone and with others, but they shine and pop when paired up.

NARS Malacca Single Eyeshadow Baalbek Eye Paint Swatches Review Adult Swim Summer 2014Malacca Single Eyeshadow is described as an iridescent peacock. When swatched it’s got a brown base that is on the sheer side when used dry with a pop of blue/green to it, making this shade appear duochrome. Above is a photo taken with flash and below I held the shadow near a lamp with a daylight bulb so you can see more of the natural dimension.

NARS Malacca Single Eyeshadow swatches macroBaalbek Eye Paint is described as bronze. It’s a blackened chocolate base with apparent gold glitter throughout giving it that bronze appearance. I love this as a base, as a liner… just live with me forever, okay?

NARS Malacca Eyeshadow Baalbek Eye Paint swatchesFor the EOTD using these products take a firm brush apply Baalbek all over the lid and into the crease as a base. Wait for it to dry completely and pat Malacca over top of Baalbek using the opposite side of the same brush. Next take a fluffy blending brush and blend Malacca through the crease and up towards the brow (but not the whole way). Finish up with a highlight shade at the inner corners or the eye and at the brow bone. I used MAC Grain Eye Shadow.  Under the eye dash a bit of a blackened green liner (I used Chanel Le Crayon Kohl in Black Jade) and smudge Malacca underneath. Finish up with your fave mascara (I used Milani Total Lash Cover).

      I thought the same! It’s similar, but the NARS feels a lot smoother/better formula.
