Fot today's eyeshadow palette review I will be reviewing the stunning Nars Narsissist eyeshadow palette. I am obsessed with the beautiful colors. I bought it through the Sephora website as soon as it was released (Feb. 1) and since then I've been hooked. I've given this palette so much love since it became a part of my collection. I made a review on my youtube channel (makeupbymarcelar) as well as mention it in my monthly favorites. I read many reviews before I made my purchase and so many people gave it a really negative rap. Either way I decided to take the plunge and I am ecstatic that I did.
The colors are so gorgeous, and the palette itself is so versatile because of the really neutral light shades which are perfect for any daytime look, but also they are intense that are perfect for a night time sexier affair. Sort of like the look that I'm wearing below. I also mentioned this palette in a previous post where I did a fotd (face of the day) and ootd (outfit of the day). Because I had such a positive outcome with this palette I decided to write and tell y'all my experience with it, in case you wanted to take the plunge as well.
This is what the stunning palette looks like...
There are 15 shades at 0.003oz, some of which are matte, satin, shimmery, and somewhat glittery. So there's a little of every finish which makes it perfect for a one shot one kill type of palette. It's a little larger than my palm but so sleek and light weight, with a large mirror which makes it perfect for traveling. The shades range from nudes, to browns, to grey's, to black. I feel like they don't lean too cool or too warm tone, but more as neutral. This makes the palette so versatile for pretty much anyone to wear. Fourteen of the shades are permanent signature shades either in the single or duo's, and one is a special edition from the Guy Bourdain collection that came out in the holidays. In my youtube review I had only used it once and I mentioned that the pigmentation was not as good as the single's or duo's but now that I've broken through the top layer from some usage the pigmentation is definitely there. They are buttery soft, super finely milled and blendable, and very little fallout.

In conclusion, I love this palette but at $79 you have to make sure this is something you'd be okay with splurging in. If you are fairly new to NARS and would like to start your eyeshadow collection I recommend you pick up this palette. It gives you a great introduction to the shades and then maybe you'd get hooked like myself and want more. :) Also if you're a narsissist addict I recommend you pick up this palette. But if you're on a budget obviously don't do it.
I hope you enjoyed my review.
As always...peace and love.
